Ron Stewart on Brian Thomas Jr.

VideoA Lovely Fantasy Football DraftAugust 13, 2026

From the video

Brian Thomas over his entire career is awesome per route. Parker Washington has this small stretch of time but at a certain point the drum beat is just too loud. Uh and their roles very similar to Roma vers Burden.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Elite per-route efficiency but perimeter role limits upside vs. slot targets.

Brian Thomas has elite per-route efficiency over his entire career, but Ron Stewart views him as a perimeter receiver who must be a top-tier outside target (like Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, or Nico Collins) to succeed. His role is similar to Roma Dunay's, making him less of a layup target than Parker Washington or Luther Burden, who operate in easier motion and Z-flanker concepts.
