Thomas Jr.'s declining route share and possible Turner shadow make him an easy sit.

Thomas Jr. has had a rough beginning to the season. Last week, his route share dipped to 43.8% while he had only a 3.4% target share, indicating declining role in the Jags offense. The source calls him an easy sit this week due to his declining role and possible shadow coverage from DJ Turner. Turner has shadowed receivers on 53.1-69% of routes and hasn't allowed any to surpass 53 receiving yards in coverage. Cincinnati has allowed the second-fewest yards per target and fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter receivers. The source says Thomas Jr. is a sit regardless of how the matchup is analyzed.
