Best Jakobi Meyers Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jakobi Meyers U 6.5 First-Quarter Receiving Yards (-112)

Meyers has been quiet this season, averaging 44.1 receiving yards per game, which is his lowest average since his rookie season in 2019. Meyers particularly hasn’t done much to begin games, averaging just 6.4 first-quarter receiving yards per game.

The veteran has only cleared 6.5 first-quarter receiving yards in 2-of-7 games. In fact, Meyers has gone without a catch in the first quarter in four games.

In the first period, Meyers is seeing just a 9.4% target share, which ranks fourth for the Jaguars and is a big drop from his 15.4% average for the season. The Ravens are a decent matchup, giving up the 13th-most yards per pass (7.1), but both the Jaguars and Ravens rank bottom-five in pace this season, so the plays may be limited for the Jaguars in the opening quarter.

Meyers going without a reception in the first period is a realistic outcome, and backing him for under 6.5 first-quarter receiving yards is a smart play for this Thursday Night Football matchup.
