Brian Thomas Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

Thomas Jr. had a monster final season at LSU before entering the NFL. He ranked 32nd in yards per route run, with big plays deep down the field littering his collegiate film. The problem for Thomas Jr. is that at this juncture, he is a more limited player in terms of route tree and projectable role in the NFL. He was a fade-and-go ball specialist at LSU. While he could easily evolve into more in the NFL, it's going to take him a while to do so. Expect the Jaguars to ease Thomas Jr. in as a deep threat as he fights Gabe Davis for those downfield targets. If Jacksonville tasks him with responsibilities similar to D.K. Metcalf in his rookie season, it could be a smashing success. Thomas Jr. is a dice roll WR4/5 with upside for this season.
