Scouting report

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

It may be too soon to say the rookie wall has hit Brian Thomas, but he has just 34 yards on four catches (seven targets) in the last two weeks. That was against two of the top defenses in the league in Philadelphia and Minnesota. Now he gets Detroit and should see plenty of Lions CB Carlton Davis. The offense will also be limited if Mac Jones gets another start. Thomas is still the Jags WR to own, but it's a low ceiling this week for the rookie.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Perhaps limited by his chest contusion, Brian Thomas caught just two passes for 22 yards last week against the Eagles. He is still practicing in a limited capacity this week so he may not be 100% this week in a tough matchup against the Vikings. In addition, it's looking like Mac Jones will start this week in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence. Thomas can still be considered a WR2 as the top wide receiver in Jacksonville, but will likely have a questionable tag going into the weekend.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles

Brian Thomas is currently limited with the chest contusion he suffered in Week 8 against the Packers. Keep an eye on his status but if he can play, he's now the clear WR1, even more so than he was before now that Christian Kirk is out for the season. He's a top-15 option against the Eagles, who have had their moments getting beat but are getting better by the week.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers

Brian Thomas reached 80 receiving yards in four of his seven games this season and scored his fourth touchdown of the season last week against the Patriots. Thomas is quite clearly the favorite target now for Trevor Lawrence and has worked his way into WR1 status heading into a nice matchup against a Packers defense that is in the middle of the pack against the pass and has allowed ten passing touchdowns.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New England Patriots (in London)

Brian Thomas had a quiet day against the Bears, but Chicago is one of the better pass defenses in the league. New England is near the bottom in passing yards allowed per game, so this week is a good bounce-back opportunity for Thomas. Thomas remains a solid WR3/Flex option with upside this week.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Chicago Bears (in London)

The rookie continues to produce quite well. 122 yards and a touchdown for Brian Thomas in Week 5 as the Jaguars avoided an 0-5 start. He now faces one of the better secondaries in the NFL in Chicago, but the connection he has already formed with Trevor Lawrence is now hard to ignore. His floor is as a flex, but he now brings a good amount of upside.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Indianapolis Colts

It hasn't taken long for Brian Thomas to get accustomed to the NFL. He's leading the Jaguars entering Week 5 with 275 yards and two touchdowns. He's tied with Christian Kirk at 17 catches and is second to Kirk with 26 targets. The Colts present a favorable matchup, having allowed six passing touchdowns through four games. Jacksonville may be struggling overall, but Thomas is a bright spot and is worth a WR2/Flex spot.
