Despite a massive year-two decline (9th best to 145th in PPR points since 1998), the analyst is still drafting him based on his elite rookie season, citing the year-three breakout pattern seen with JSN and the potential for a rebound similar to Brandon Aiyuk's year-three turnaround.NegativeBustJun 12, 2026
Thomas fell from ninth-best rookie WR season to 145th in year two since 1998, a worse decline than Chris Chambers, Brandon Aiyuk, and Tank Dell, raising concerns about whether his rookie success was sustainable.PositiveProjectionJun 12, 2026

Brian Thomas is expected to be one of the outside receivers for the Jaguars alongside Parker Washington.PositiveBustJan 16, 2026
Brian Thomas was a brutal miss in 2024 as a high-conviction draft target who significantly underperformed expectations. The source loved Thomas pre-draft but he delivered disappointing production, exemplifying the broader underperformance of second-year wideouts that season.NegativeRoleDec 23, 2025
Drawing Pat Mahomes-level coverage treatment, which opened up target opportunities for Parker Washington in Week 16 against Denver.PositiveUsageDec 15, 2025
Brian Thomas tied the team lead in target share at 21.9% in week 15, his first time reaching that threshold since week six. He recorded seven targets, four catches, 66 yards, and a touchdown for 17.1 PPR points—his best performance since week six against Seattle (10 targets, 8 catches, 90 yards, TD). The source cautions this may have been inflated by the Jets' weak defense and notes the true test comes against Denver, the Texans, and other strong defenses in the stretch run.PositiveUsageDec 8, 2025
Brian Thomas Jr. delivered a solid outing with 11.7 PPR points on six targets, three catches, and 87 yards, but the source notes the Jaguars offense has become the Jakobi Meyers show in their first two games together. Meyers is dominating target share, target pout, and first-read share, even recording three carries despite not being a running back archetype. Thomas is a secondary option in the offense despite his decent performance.
