From the episode

Like it got me off of Brian Thomas pretty much completely in August after I had done it because of the, just the, the good corner after good corner, after good corner. And then on top of that, it ended up being, oh, he's not playing in heavy personnel either. And so it's just an even worse situation, you know, for, for Brian Thomas.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Thomas' brutal early schedule and limited heavy personnel usage prompted complete fade.

JJ Zachariason got off Brian Thomas completely in August after doing schedule analysis. Thomas faced good corner after good corner in his early schedule, and on top of that, he was not playing in heavy personnel, creating an even worse situation for him. Schedule analysis and personnel usage were tiebreakers that helped identify Thomas as a fade.
