Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Racks up 105 yards, two TDs in loss
Thomas caught 10 of 14 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.Thomas has proven capable of overcoming mediocre quarterback play as a rookie, accounting for both of Mac Jones' touchdown passes in this latest Jacksonville loss. The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch and added a go-ahead 19-yard touchdown reception with 10:58 remaining in the fourth. Thomas topped 100 receiving yards for just the second time while posting the first multi-touchdown performance of his young career. He'll take a streak of four consecutive games with at least 76 receiving yards into a Week 16 trip to Vegas.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains bright spot
Thomas recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans.Thomas was one of the few players to get going in an ugly offensive showing from both teams. He delivered splash plays of 31 and 21 yards on the Jacksonville Jaguars' only touchdown drive of the game, setting up a rushing score for Tank Bigsby. Despite otherwise being limited to short gains, Thomas has at least 75 receiving yards and four receptions in each of his last three games.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Catches late TD from Jones
Thomas brought in four of 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for 11 yards.Thomas finished second on the Jaguars in receiving yards and targets to Parker Washington, and he rounded out his fantasy afternoon nicely with a late six-yard touchdown reception. The touchdown was Thomas' sixth overall and first since Week 8, and he's now compiled 158 receiving yards over the last two games while working with Mac Jones for a significant portion of that span. With Jones almost certainly drawing a Week 14 start in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion) on the road against the Titans, Thomas will remain a key fantasy asset based on what seems to be some decent chemistry between him and Jones.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Paces receivers in loss
Thomas secured five of seven targets for 82 yards in the Jacksonville 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: Cleared despite limited practices
Thomas (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mia O'Brien of 1010XL Radio reports.Thomas was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices but will play through a chest contusion for a third consecutive game. Jacksonville's No. 1 wide receiver is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option Week 11. Thomas has just 34 receiving yards over the past two games while playing through this injury and will be catching passes from backup quarterback Mac Jones on Sunday, but the Lions are allowing 199.1 receiving yards per game to wide receivers.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains limited in practice
Thomas (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Since suffering a chest contusion in the Jacksonville 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: Limited practice Wednesday
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 Jacksonville 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: Quiet in Week 10 loss
Thomas caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.The rookie first-round pick played 86 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps but saw fewer than five targets for the third straight game. The Jacksonville Jaguars struggled to move the ball with Mac Jones under center, and Thomas' fantasy upside is likely to be limited while Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is unavailable.

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Ready to go Sunday
Thomas (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.The Jacksonville Jaguars listed Thomas as questionable for the second week in a row due to the chest contusion he suffered in a Week 8 loss to the Packers, but he'll once again suit up despite being a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. In the Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles, Thomas' playing time wasn't affected -- he played 90 percent of the offensive snaps -- but he was contained to two catches for 22 yards on four targets. He should continue to see ample snaps as Jacksonville's No. 1 wideout in Week 10, though Thomas will be working with a new quarterback in Mac Jones, who is stepping in for the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Likely to play Sunday
Thomas (chest), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.Thomas appears set to play through a chest issue for a second straight week, despite initial reports that emerged in the aftermath of him suffering the injury which suggested that he could miss 2-to-4 weeks. In last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, the rookie wideout notched just two catches for a season-low 22 yards, but he logged a season-high 90 percent of the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive snaps. Per Fowler, Gabe Davis -- Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout -- is also slated to suit up Sunday despite a shoulder injury. If Thomas plays, he'll likely be working with quarterback Mac Jones, as Trevor Lawrence is expected to sit out with a shoulder injury.
