Thomas' value could spike if traded to Rams or 49ers; currently phased out in Jacksonville with 10% target share.

First-round talent Thomas has underperformed expectations, declining from a strong rookie year (87 receptions, 1,282 receiving yards, 10 TDs) to a mediocre second season (48 receptions, 707 receiving yards), and has been phased out of the Jacksonville offense this season, averaging only a 10% team target share and operating as the 4th receiving option. The source identifies this as a trade candidate whose value could drastically change over the next week. Ideal landing spots include the Los Angeles Rams (who lost Davante Adams and need a big-bodied receiver for red-zone work) or the San Francisco 49ers (whose starting pass-catchers average 32 years old and need a young, healthy receiver for Brock Purdy). Either landing spot would provide fantastic upside. Downside: Thomas stays in Jacksonville and remains underutilized.
