Brian Thomas, Jr. Sorry. You got to deal with shadow coverage from every single corner in the NFL until about week 10. Good luck with that. ... I almost came out here and said, Brian Thomas Jr. will be the most drop player by week nine.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Thomas Jr. faces a brutal early schedule and may be a buy-low candidate.

Derek Brown and Andrew Erickson are pessimistic about Brian Thomas Jr.'s early-season outlook due to a difficult schedule featuring shadow coverage from top cornerbacks through week 10. Erickson suggests he may become the most dropped player by week 9 and a prime buy-low candidate thereafter.
