News: 6 days agoThomas didn't haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans in London.

Spin: Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Thomas logged 15 offensive snaps in the first half but none after halftime, while all of fellow wideouts Parker Washington (11 targets), Jakobi Meyers (10) and Travis Hunter (four) had major roles in the Jaguars offense. Thomas maintained a regular workload in the first five games of the season, with his snap shares ranging from 35 to 62 percent en route to a 9-105-1 line on 18 targets. Sunday's development could be a sign of things to come for Thomas without the team mentioning any sort of injury during or after Sunday's contest.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Thomas is one of the biggest wild cards in fantasy after a roller-coaster start to his career. The 2024 first-round pick was fantasy's No. 4-scoring wide receiver as a rookie, but only played at that WR1 level with Mac Jones under center. Thomas averaged 5.8 targets and 14.4 fantasy PPG with Trevor Lawrence under center that season, and was even worse with Lawrence in 2025 (6.2 targets, 9.9 PPG). With Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter in the mix, Thomas was utilized as more of a vertical threat in 2025 (his 14.4 aDOT was fourth highest), which led to a big dip in catch rate and touchdowns, as well as more drops. The Jaguars offense is suddenly very crowded, so Thomas is more likely to be a boom/bust flex than he is the superstar we expected one year ago. The 23-year-old's raw talent makes him worth middle-round consideration.
