RotoWire NFL Articles on Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas' field-stretching role and Surtain matchup limit him to boom-or-bust WR4.

Thomas saw a lot of Patrick Surtain on the outside in last season's matchup against Denver and got shut down (2-18-0). His 14.8-yard average route depth in Week 1 was the second-highest mark among all WRs to run at least 10 routes, indicating he is being used as a de facto field-stretching specialist rather than a featured receiver. The source treats him as boom-or-bust WR4 at best, with uncertainty about whether Denver will adjust after Trevor Lawrence and Parker Washington took advantage elsewhere.
