PodcastThe Lineup Show - 6 Fantasy Football STEALS Nobody Is Talking About ft. Footbal...August 14, 2026

From the episode

I refuse to believe that a guy goes for 1,200 yards and double digit touchdowns as a rookie and doesn't go for over a thousand yards again at any point in his career.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

BTJ is a prime bounce-back candidate with elite physical tools and high upside.

Garrett argues Brian Thomas Jr. is a major steal, citing his 1,200-yard, double-digit touchdown rookie season as proof of talent; he dismisses the 2025 regression as a temporary slump and notes that much of his early production came with Mac Jones. With a full year in Liam Cohen's system and his elite physical profile (6'3, sub-4.4 speed), he is expected to bounce back, especially as his ADP potentially dips below Parker Washington's.
