Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Brian Thomas Jr.

VideoWeek 2 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings and Tiers: Jordan Addison bounce...September 16, 2026

From the video

BTJ is going to have Certana in his hip pocket and specifically his shadow haha throughout most of the week. So, this does take us to who actually had the most downfield oriented role in week one.

WR46; faces shadow coverage; downfield role is volatile

Ian Hartitz ranks Brian Thomas Jr. as WR46 against the Broncos secondary. Hartitz expects BTJ to face Cortland's shadow coverage throughout most of the week, making him less attractive than Jakobi Meyers. BTJ had the most downfield-oriented role in week one with an average route depth north of 12 yards, which is volatile and week-to-week dependent.
