Fowler: Jaguars plan to keep WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Pro Football Talk

Nov 10 · 11:12 AM EST

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports the Jaguars plan to keep receiver Brian Thomas Jr. — barring a surprise.

Thomas has been rumored to be on the trade block largely due to his lack of production this season. He’s received just 22 targets in eight games, catching 10 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

Even the story suggested this could be one last effort to get a little more out of a WR-needy team before the deadline today. And what team has ever admitted they are trading someone? The Jags are obviously all-in on a Super Bowl run based on trades they made to bolster the defense, but as of now look like they will keep BTJ. It could very well be for insurance purposes in case of an injury, but BTJ hasn't really been part of the plan all season.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. drawing trade interest

"Brian Thomas Jr. has been the area of interest for a lot of other teams."

Fantasy Impact:

For some reason, the Jags don't seem open to trading BTJ, but the team has pretty much phased him out. With so many teams in need of receiver, the Jags could likely get something valuable in return for him. Over the team's last three games, BTJ has had just 7 targets with one catch - a 12-yard TD catch this past week against the Colts. The Jaguars may just want to hold on to him in case of injuries as they look to be a team that can make a deep playoff run. Fantasy owners should at least hold on to him leading up to the trade deadline. In some leagues, he's even on waiver wires, and may be worth grabbing just in case he gets moved to a better situation.

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

Sports Illustrated

Sep 29 · 4:27 PM EDT

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.

Solak: Travis Hunter expected to spend far more time on defense

Ben Solak

Sep 04 · 10:44 AM EDT

ESPN’s Ben Solak expects Hunter to spend considerably more time at cornerback this season.

Jacksonville has Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. available at wide receiver, while its defense lacks a true No. 1 cornerback. Solak believes Hunter will consequently be used primarily on defense, with his offensive value potentially coming as a high-upside replacement if one of the Jaguars’ three established receivers is injured.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy Impact: A defense-heavy assignment would leave Hunter without the route volume necessary for dependable redraft production. His offensive talent gives him considerable contingent upside, but he presently looks more like a real-life luxury reserve than a legit fantasy option. Our ranking already accounts for that risk, placing him 32 spots below market ADP.
