STACKED’s take
Dropped to WR37 after atrocious Week 1; faces Denver; still playable over waiver options.
Brian Thomas Jr. faces significant headwinds. Puka ranks him at WR37 overall (down from WR34 earlier in the week), citing poor Week 1 performance where Thomas 'looked atrocious,' which scared Puka into dropping him significantly in rankings to 88 overall. Thomas faces a tough matchup against Denver Broncos. Despite the concerns, Puka still plays him over waiver wire options. Earlier in the week, Puka had Thomas at WR34 in flex rankings, just slightly ahead of Cardell Tate at WR36, noting both are in pretty tough spots. In head-to-head flex decisions, Puka initially preferred Thomas over Jordan Addison and Dantavan Wigs ('I'm going to go with Brian Thomas very much'), but later expressed concern that Thomas may be 'cooked' and worried about the matchup, making him a fade. However, Uncle Wayne selected Thomas over Carnell Tate at wide receiver, indicating some preference for Thomas in that specific matchup.
