2022 Fantasy football outlook
Meyers numbers are solid until you look at his sad red-zone production and that’s where his fantasy value takes a dip. There has to be an expectation that Mac Jones will be better in year two, but will Meyers be the beneficiary? Meyers had 181.6 points last season in PPR scoring, while Kendrick Bourne had 165 points (177.5 with rushing yards added) with 56 less targets. Meyers might be trending toward WR2 status with the Patriots.
