Thomas' decline since '24 has been due to his fit within the offense. Trevor Lawrence is targeting the middle of the field at the sixth-highest rate of all starters. Through eight weeks, Thomas has three targets on patterns over the middle.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Thomas' downfield skill mismatched with Lawrence's middle-field targeting.

Thomas' decline since 2024 stems from offensive fit; Trevor Lawrence targets the middle of the field at the sixth-highest rate among starters, but Thomas has only three targets on middle patterns through eight weeks (6 of 48 catches on crossing routes last year). Thomas' superpower is downfield and outside the numbers, where he had the same yardage as Parker Washington on 15+ air yard throws in 2025, but Jacksonville has better options for Lawrence in that area.
