Jaguars Beat: WR Brian Thomas Jr. looks good Monday

Jul 29, 2024

It has been a bit of a slow start for Brian Thomas Jr., but he looked the best he has all camp on Monday.

Related players: Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say there are still areas of his game that have to be ironed out, but it is clear that when the Jaguars let Thomas do what he is best at, he can make plays. Thomas has a chance to jump right into the team's WR2 role behind Kirk, however, Davis is lurking on the depth chart as well. Thomas is 36th on our WR list and is a middle-round target for those looking to add him.

Justin Jefferson (quad) considered “day to day”

39 minutes ago

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is considered “day to day” after suffering a quadricep contusion during Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Jefferson doesn’t seem overly concerned about the injury. “I’m not seriously injured,” Jefferson told the media after the game. Jefferson dealt with a hamstring injury last season but this sounds like it will be a minor issue. Jefferson believes he’ll be ready to go for Week 3 against the Texans.

Hollywood Brown not expected to play in regular season

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is not expected to play during the regular season due to his shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown needs surgery on his shoulder. He was already placed on injured reserve and now his season ends before even taking a regular season snap with the Chiefs. This should means plenty of deep targets for rookie Xavier Worthy, as well as work in the run game, as we saw against the Ravens. Rashee Rice will gobble up targets as the main weapon for Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunate news for Hollywood.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) misses practices Saturday, questionable for Monday vs. Falcons

Eagles WR A.J. Brown did not practice Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown began feeling tightness in his hamstring during practice Friday and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team would be “cautious” with him Saturday. So this could be a case of the Eagles just giving him some rest before Monday’s game. If Brown can’t go, Jahan Dotson could be in line for a bigger role Monday. If possible, have a backup option ready for Brown, such as Dotson if he’s available.
