By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Thomas Jr. is getting REALLY CLOSE to must-start status at this point. He is the WR15 in fantasy points per game and has scored at least 21 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Thomas Jr. has a 20.5% target share, a 29.5% air-yard share, 2.73 YPRR, and a 24.2% first-read share. The Packers have utilized single high on 55.3% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Thomas Jr. has flourished with a 23.4% target share, 3.12 YPRR, and a 26.3% first-read share. Thomas Jr. should be the focal point of the Jaguars passing attack in Week 8. Green Bay has allowed the 14th-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
