Yahoo Sports NFL on Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas Jr.'s downfield speed and timing issues with Lawrence make him a buy-low candidate for San Francisco.

Thomas Jr. is worth buying low on despite a disappointing 2024 season (10 catches, 117 yards, 2 TDs on 43.0% snap share). The source attributes his underperformance to poor timing and chemistry with Trevor Lawrence rather than lack of talent; the speed and downfield threat ability are palpable when watching him run routes. A fresh start with the 49ers would be ideal because he wouldn't need to be "the guy." Kyle Shanahan's offense is a great fit for Thomas Jr.'s ability to run away from coverage and stretch the field horizontally. He has only four targets in the past three games and is not involved in Jacksonville's current plans.
