Thomas isn't having a great year. He has 10 catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns. He's playing 43.0% of the team's offensive snaps... For whatever reason, Thomas Jr. and Trevor Lawrence aren't on the same page. The timing is off by a split second... He's worth buying low on and would be a great fit for Kyle Shanahan's offense, the way Thomas Jr. can run away from coverage and stretch the field horizontally.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Elite downfield threat underperforming due to Lawrence timing; buy-low fit for Shanahan's offense.

Trade candidate for 49ers; currently underperforming with Jaguars (10 catches, 117 yards, 2 TDs on 43% snap share) but possesses elite downfield threat ability that would fit Kyle Shanahan's offense. Timing issues with Trevor Lawrence are the primary culprit—"the timing is off by a split second"—rather than lack of talent. Speed and route-running ability are palpable; he can "run away from coverage and stretch the field horizontally." Worth buying low on as a fresh-start candidate who wouldn't need to be "the guy" in San Francisco.
