Thomas Jr. disappoints again; Gonzalez shadow coverage makes him a sit.

Brian Thomas Jr. had a quiet game in Week 2 despite not being shadowed by Patrick Surtain, continuing a disappointing trend. Over two weeks, he is the WR58 in fantasy points per game with a 19.2% target share, 2.35 YPRR, one deep target, zero red zone targets, and 21.1% first-read share. The source notes: 'Over two weeks, Thomas Jr. looks very similar to the 2025 version that disappointed fantasy gamers.' This week he will face Christian Gonzalez, who has shadowed DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba on 65.4-86.4% of their routes, holding Metcalf to four receptions and 27 scoreless yards in Week 2. The source's recommendation: 'Sit Thomas Jr.'
