I'm more than a little hesitant to go in on Brian Thomas, Jr. — who once again profiles as a high-variance air yards maven — and Jakobi Meyers, along with Brenton Strange.

The source is hesitant on Brian Thomas Jr. in 2026 due to expected negative play volume regression for the Jaguars. Thomas profiles as a high-variance air yards maven, and a drop in play volume would make it exceptionally tough for Trevor Lawrence to support more than a couple fantasy-viable pass catchers.
