News: 3 days agoThomas failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

Spin: Getting the ball to Parker Washington was once again was the primary focus for Trevor Lawrence, as the fourth-year wideout popped for a 6-124-2 line on nine targets, and Thomas didn't do anything with the little volume he got to prove he should be a bigger part of the game plan. Thomas has gotten three targets ore fewer in four of five games to begin the season, leading to a meager 9-105-1 line on 18 targets, and there's little reason to expect a breakout in Week 6 against the Texans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Thomas is one of the biggest wild cards in fantasy after a roller-coaster start to his career. The 2024 first-round pick was fantasy's No. 4-scoring wide receiver as a rookie, but only played at that WR1 level with Mac Jones under center. Thomas averaged 5.8 targets and 14.4 fantasy PPG with Trevor Lawrence under center that season, and was even worse with Lawrence in 2025 (6.2 targets, 9.9 PPG). With Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter in the mix, Thomas was utilized as more of a vertical threat in 2025 (his 14.4 aDOT was fourth highest), which led to a big dip in catch rate and touchdowns, as well as more drops. The Jaguars offense is suddenly very crowded, so Thomas is more likely to be a boom/bust flex than he is the superstar we expected one year ago. The 23-year-old's raw talent makes him worth middle-round consideration.
