Welcome to Week 14 of the 2025 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.

This week's roundtable features these four topics:

Let's roll...

Matt Waldman: Give me a player or team that you believe will deliver a shocking emergence or collapse during fantasy playoffs.  

Matt Montgomery: Keep your eye on the Jaguars and their relevant fantasy players down the stretch. The Colts have regressed significantly from their dominating performances to start the season. While we may not always get the sexiest performances from Trevor Lawrence or his relatively unknown pass catchers, multiple players in this offense are stable, productive starters who will stabilize rosters. At this point in the season, sometimes all you need is roster stability to make a run to the title. 

Joseph Haggan: Kyle Pitts Sr. is going to be a baller down the stretch for the Falcons. Yes, we have pounded this drum for quite some time, though I have not given up hope.

Pitts is coming off his best game of the year with 82 receiving yards, catching seven of his eight targets. He seems to be the pass-catcher that Cousins feels most comfortable with while Drake London sits, and Pitts has seen 13 targets over the last two contests.

The Falcons' next three matchups -- the Seahawks, Buccaneers, and Cardinals -- have all been atrocious at covering tight ends this year, let alone one with Pitts' abilities. Ride Pitts through the playoffs. 

Colton Dodgson: I can't ignore what Jakobi Meyers has done since his move to Jacksonville. Being the glass-half-full rational optimist that I am – I'm an Eagles fan, that's my attempt at embellishment – I'm going with the shocking emergence here. Meyers will continue to be a high-end WR2 for contenders, with weekly upside to flirt with WR1 production.

Meyers cracked the top 12 this week in Half-PPR as the WR11. He caught all 6 of his targets – a 22.2 percent share – and found the end zone.

Meyers also played 91.2 percent of the snaps, his most since joining the Jaguars. The efficiency stands out.

Meyers is averaging 2.8 yards per route run in his three games with the team. He's also logged four red zone targets over that span and continues to produce after the catch in Liam Coen's offense.

Whenever volume meets efficiency, the result is going to be frontline fantasy production. We're entering that territory here with Meyers. Even with Brian Thomas Jr.'s return, the progression of the former Raider in his new digs is notable.
