Brian Thomas Jr. fantasy football insight from PlayerProfiler Fantasy Football Podcast Network
Matt Kelley is high on Brian Thomas Jr. this year and believes his ADP is suppressed relative to smart money and plugged-in players; Kelley and his team rank Thomas ahead of consensus. Thomas is in year two with Liam Cohn's offense, which has produced top-five offenses at Kentucky and in the NFL. He's a first-round wide receiver on a rookie contract with strong production value, size, and athlete profile. His 2024 season was an outlier—yards per reception and air yards were solid, but catch rate was near 50% and touchdown rate was only 4%, which Kelley views as random variance. However, Kelley tempers expectations because Jacksonville added Jacoby Myers (locked-in ~20% target share regardless of team) and Parker Washington (actively in extension negotiations with the team), and the target math doesn't add up to the upside he'd like to believe. The team also wants to get Brenton Strange more involved and Travis Hunter will be involved in gadget plays, further constraining Thomas's target environment.
