Video: One Last August Draft
BTJ I think is going to just be better this year because he's going to be healthier than he was last season... I'm I actually am still kind of close in terms of my Parker Washington and my BTJ ranking, which I feel like is getting a little bit of like that's getting to be a controversial take because of how much hype and pop uh Parker Washington's been getting... I take my second wide receiver in the fifth round, which is Brian Thomas Jr. Don't love that necessarily as my second receiver... what is he on the pecking order, bro? Is he the third option? Is he the four?... I think he's definitely a better and best ball pick at this point... would I want BTJ as my second wide receiver in a reddraft? No way.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Healthier this year; best ball ceiling play over redraft; role uncertainty limits WR2 appeal.

Matt Harmon expects Brian Thomas Jr. to improve significantly this season due to better health compared to last year. Despite Parker Washington receiving more hype in the draft market, Harmon ranks them relatively close together. In best ball format, Harmon prefers BTJ for higher ceiling exposure and bigger weeks; in redraft he'd lean slightly toward Marvin Harrison Jr. Harmon is comfortable with BTJ in the fifth-round range where the wide receiver run occurred. BTJ is drafted as the second receiver but Harmon expresses reservation about that placement, preferring him as a third receiver instead due to role uncertainty in the Jaguars' receiver room. Better suited for best ball format due to volatility; in reddraft Harmon would not want BTJ as his WR2.
