Brian Thomas Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) appears ready to go ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The rookie wideout was limited in practice all week, but it sounds like that won't stop him from suiting up. Thomas has been solid during his rookie campaign, but his fantasy value is going to take a major hit with Mac Jones under center for the Jags. Last week, Thomas hauled in two receptions for 12 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect better results until Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) returns to the field. Thomas falls into the WR4 conversation with Jones getting the nod this weekend.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Thomas suffered a chest injury in the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots and has been limited in practice ever since, but he hasn't missed a game. Davis, meanwhile, has been on the injury report for most of the year with various ailments. Neither wideout is expected to be in danger of missing the Week 11 game at the Detroit Lions, but both Thomas' and Davis' fantasy floor will remain low for however long quarterback Mac Jones is running this offense -- Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was ruled out for a second straight game in Week 11. Thomas has been Jacksonville's leading receiver in his first year in the NFL and is the better fantasy option, but his stock has fallen to WR3/flex value.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Demetrius Harvey of Jax.com. The LSU standout has been dealing with this chest injury for a few weeks but has yet to miss any time. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the week in case he faces a setback. Last weekend with quarterback Mac Jones under center, Thomas tallied a season-low 12 yards on just two catches. Despite his two weak outings over the past two weeks, Thomas has averaged a stellar 15.2 PPR points during Weeks 1 through 8. Given his recent output, fantasy managers should view the 22-year-old as a WR3/flex with risk heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Detroit Lions with Jones making a second straight start.
