FantasyPros Articles on Brian Thomas Jr.

From the article

Thomas Jr. had a rough Year 2 after a strong rookie season: 48 catches for 707 yards and 2 touchdowns (vs. 1,282 yards and 10 TDs as a rookie), with an 11% drop rate. His yards per route run fell from 2.45 to 1.45, and passer rating on throws to him dropped from 106.2 to 81.2. When Trevor Lawrence was hot down the stretch (265 yards, 18 TDs over final seven games), Thomas played in six of seven and averaged 3.0 receptions and 47.8 yards per game, catching just one TD. The source notes much of his rookie production came with Mac Jones at QB (10.0 targets, 6.5 catches, 85.9 yards per game in Weeks 10+) versus 5.9 targets, 3.9 catches, 66.1 yards per game with Lawrence in first nine games. Target competition has intensified with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, plus Travis Hunter as a potential target thief. The source concludes: 'This just doesn't seem like an ecosystem that sets up well for a Brian Thomas Jr. bounce-back.'
