Draft note

by John Paulsen

Brian Thomas Jr. joins Christian Kirk, Evan Engram, and Gabe Davis to provide a potent receiving corps for Trevor Lawrence. Talent-wise, Thomas could be a top-two option for Jacksonville, but it will be a challenge to unseat Engram (8.4 targets per game) or Kirk (7.1) in terms of targets. However, Calvin Ridley vacated 8.0 targets per game, and Zay Jones (7.1) was also cut, so there are snaps and targets available for both Thomas and Davis. Matt Harmon of Reception Perception said that Thomas has "earned his standing as the first name mentioned" after the top-three receivers in the 2024 draft class, so he’s a breakout candidate in his first season.

Jaguars WR Christian Kirk has "minor calf injury"

It’s a “mild calf injury” for Jaguars WR Christian Kirk, per Doug Pederson. He won’t practice vs Bucs today.

Related Players: Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Doesn't seem like anything too serious but also seems like Kirk won't be practicing for the rest of the week. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but no reason to push Kirk down your draft boards quite yet.

JAX WR Brian Thomas Jr. - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cleveland Browns

Not a bad debut at all for the rookie Brian Thomas Jr. He tied for the team lead with four targets against the Dolphins as Trevor Lawrence spread the ball around a bit -- five receivers each had at least three targets. Of course, Lawrence only threw the ball 21 times and completed 12 passes. Thomas scored his first NFL touchdown and is already starting to look the part of being a key piece to the Jaguars offense. He does have a tough matchup this week against the trio of Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome and Martin Emerson in the Browns secondary. Because of the possibility the Jags have another tough day in the air, the ceiling is lowered for Thomas. He remains a WR3 for the week.
