Jaguars Beat: WR Brian Thomas Jr., team going in different directions

Sep 29, 2026

For as talented as Brian Thomas is, Sunday's game proved once and for all that the Jaguars and Thomas are going in different directions, and a change must be made sooner than later.

Related players: Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Josh Cameron

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Thomas only played 23 snaps and ran 13 routes against the Patriots in Week 3. This can not be merely excused away as the Jaguars getting up on the Patriots early, either, since Meyers and Washington each played 50 snaps and ran 27 and 28 routes, respectively, the story said. The story added that at the same time, Jaguars sixth-round rookie receiver Cameron played 23 snaps - the same as Thomas - and saw more targets despite running five fewer routes. The article sums this up nicely, it seems Thomas' time in Jacksonville is coming to an end, but the team should make a move sooner than later before he loses value. Thomas can't really be trusted in fantasy lineups right now. For those in deeper leagues, Cameron may be worth a pickup if you can afford to stash him. The story said Thomas is trending to become the team's fourth WR at this point.

When the schedule was initially unveiled, the schedule called for a game between the Bears and Packers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET. On Tuesday, the league announced that the game will now get underway at 1 p.m. ET and it will be televised on Fox.

Fantasy Impact:

Any matchup between the Bears and Packers factors into the NFC North race and has decades of tradition to add to its attractiveness, but the Packers’ sluggish start and the likelihood that Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will miss the game make it less of a national draw than it might be at other times, the story said.
