BTJ could outperform ADP if healthy, but role likely diminished by Washington/Myers.

Brian Thomas Jr. is the eighth-round pick (WR36) on Yahoo. Matt Harmon notes that most of BTJ's 2025 season should be thrown out due to injuries, continuing a theme for the 2024 receiver class. However, Harmon is 'totally comfortable drafting him in fantasy this year' because he believes BTJ could be a big hit from the Jaguars room if things align. Harmon acknowledges BTJ's weaknesses: 77% success rate vs. zone coverage (38th percentile) in his rookie season, which fell to 69.8% last year; he struggled with quick routes over the middle and beating zone coverage. But Harmon sees upside if BTJ can be the team's X receiver in a Mike Evans-style role, noting that 'if somebody is going to be a big hit from this room, it's going to be BTJ, but I don't know how many universes that he is that big hit.' The co-host counters that BTJ's role will likely shrink due to the emergence of Parker Washington and Jacoby Myers, and that BTJ ranked third in targets from week 10 on (17% of routes vs. 21% for Myers and 25.5% for Washington). BTJ had 1.35 yards per route run and 36% of targets were 20+ yards downfield in that span.
