Turf Show Times on Brian Thomas Jr.
ArticleDon’t call Blake Corum Rams’ RB1 just yet
From the article
in 2025, Thomas missed three regular season games, he was targeted 91 times, caught 48 for 707 yards and two touchdowns. That's a 52.7% reception rate, no bueno, to say the least. So far, in 2026, he has caught 9 passes out of 19 targets, less than 50%, he has 105 yards, and 1 touchdown. Trevor Lawrence is just not throwing him the ball any longer.

STACKED’s take
Negative signalProjection
Thomas' sub-50% catch rate in 2026 signals declining target priority.
Thomas' production and efficiency have declined sharply. In 2025, he missed three games, was targeted 91 times, caught 48 for 707 yards and two touchdowns (52.7% reception rate, described as 'no bueno'). In 2026, he has caught 9 of 19 targets (less than 50%), 105 yards, and 1 touchdown. The source attributes the decline to Trevor Lawrence no longer throwing him the ball and rates him not worth a second-round pick; a fifth or sixth-round pick might be considered.
