• Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Paces receivers in loss

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas secured five of seven targets for 82 yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for four yards. Thomas actually managed to cobble together a solid performance despite the lopsided nature of the loss and the fact he was catching passes from Mac Jones instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). The rookie wideout tied with Evan Engram for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, recording his highest totals in all three categories since Week 7. Thomas should have a good chance of having Lawrence back under center in a Week 13 home divisional battle against the Texans following a Week 12 bye.

• Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains limited in practice

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Since suffering a chest contusion in the Jaguars' Week 8 loss to the Packers, Thomas has been listed as a limited participant in eight consecutive practices. He hasn't missed any game action because of the injury, playing 90 percent of snaps in a Week 9 loss to the Eagles and 86 percent of snaps in a Week 10 loss to the Vikings. However, Thomas has been limited to a 4-36-0 receiving line on seven targets between those contests, and assuming he's cleared to play again this Sunday against the Lions, he'll profile as a risky option in fantasy lineups. With Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) already ruled out for the Week 11 game, Mac Jones will make a second straight start at quarterback, coming off an ugly outing against the Vikings in which he threw for just 111 yards on 22 attempts while committing three turnovers.

• Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr.: WRs to Sit

  8D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Thomas has scored 6.2 PPR points or less in each of his past two games against the Eagles and Vikings, and his game against Minnesota was troubling because Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was out. Lawrence isn't playing in Week 11 at Detroit, and I'm nervous to start Thomas with Mac Jones under center again. Against the Vikings, Thomas had two catches for 12 yards on three targets from Jones. I would only start Thomas in three-receiver leagues in Week 11.

• Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Limited practice Wednesday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas (chest) was limited participant at practice Wednesday. Gabe Davis (shoulder) was also limited, but with neither receiver reported to have suffered a setback in this past Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings, both are seemingly tracking toward playing Week 11 against the Lions. Rather than chest injury, of greater concern to Thomas' fantasy outlook for Sunday's game against the Lions is the Jaguars' quarterback situation. Mac Jones --who completed just 14 of 22 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 10 -- will get another start for the Jaguars in Detroit with Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) set to miss a second straight game.

• Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains limited Thursday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas (chest) remained limited in practice Thursday. Thomas also was limited Wednesday, so he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Vikings without an injury designation. While playing through his chest issue in a Week 9 loss to the Eagles, Thomas was on the field for 91 percent of the Jaguars' snaps on offense en route to catching two of his four targets for 22 yards. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Thomas heads into the weekend with an injury designation, but assuming his availability, a bounceback could be in store for the 2024 first-rounder versus Minnesota, considering the steady role he maintains in his team's passing attack.
