RotoWire NFL Articles on Brian Thomas Jr.
From the article
Jacksonville's staff seems settled on using Thomas primarily as an outside deep threat rather than having him run the full route tree, an approach that caps his weekly target count by design.
STACKED’s take
Thomas' capped role by design and target competition make ADP 83.5 a fade.
Thomas looked like a foundational piece after an 87-catch, 1,282-yard, 10-touchdown debut in 2024, but production collapsed to 48 catches, 707 yards, and two touchdowns in 2025 as target competition and a changing offense caught up to him. The bigger concern heading into 2026 is role: Jacksonville's staff seems settled on using Thomas primarily as an outside deep threat rather than having him run the full route tree, an approach that caps his weekly target count by design. That profile can produce big plays but does not produce the target floor a top wide receiver price requires. Travis Hunter could eat into Thomas' snaps, and the target competition that already ate into his role last year is not going away. Jim Coventry fades Thomas at ADP 83.5, arguing a capped role by design plus real target competition is a bad combination at his current price.
