Expert takes
“Thomas was drafted 19 selections after Harrison in 2024 and finds himself in a similar boat in Year 3. He had a strong rookie season but then regressed instead of taking the anticipated jump in Year 2. So far in 2026, he also has an inconsistent role in the offense after falling down the pecking order, though not as extremely as Harrison.”
Logan Ulrich· Oct 5, 2026“On Thin Ice: David Montgomery (98%), Blake Corum (87%), Jacory Croskey-Merritt (85%) WIDE RECEIVERS Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville (82% rostered) Brian Thomas is below league-average in snap share, total routes run, yards per target, yards per reception, yards after catch per reception, yards after contact per reception, explosive catch rate, and yards per target over expectation. The only statistic that he’s well above league average in is drop rate. Get in on the fun and drop him, too.”
Jeff Krisko· Sep 29, 2026“Thomas has become a spare part in the Jacksonville offense. His snap shares in the Jaguars’ first three games: 35.1%, 54.2% and 39.0%. Thomas hasn’t topped 40 yards in any of those games, and on Sunday he had 1-8-0 on one target.”

“Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC) Brian Thomas had a majorly disappointing, injury-affected sophomore campaign, finishing as fantasy football WR43 overall and WR47 in PPG across 14 games. He averaged 8.2 half-PPR PPG on an 18% target share with 50.5 receiving yards/game, 3 total TDs, and just 7 red-zone targets.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026“Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated names Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. as one player to watch in training camp as a "swing factor" after a productive rookie season in 2024 before struggling last season. According to Breer, Jacksonville never considered "selling low" on Thomas after his sophomore slump, and Thomas has had a "constant presence" at the team's facility this offseason and is spending as much time as possible with QB Trevor Lawrence.”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 12, 2026“It's hard to trust Brian Thomas Jr. as a WR2 in PPR leagues. In situations where Meyers was on the field for the Jaguars last season, Thomas's target share was third on the team at under 17%, and he only caught 18 out of 30 targets for 287 yards and scored once.”
Richard Janvrin· Jul 12, 2026“As a rookie, Thomas had 1,292 yards, 87 receptions and 10 touchdowns. This led to a WR4 finish on the season and a second-round pick in redraft leagues the following season. Thomas then repaid ambitious fantasy managers with a WR44 performance in points per game in 2025.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 29, 2026“Thomas, 23, posted 1,282 receiving yards as a rookie but saw his production drop significantly the following season. That was partially due to a few injuries that sidelined him for three games and lingered into the offseason.”
Nikhil Mehta· Jun 24, 2026“Jakobi Meyers feels Thomas's football IQ is something that gets overlooked in his game, and believes the longer he's around the game and in his offense, the more he's going to continue to get better and better.”

“Jayden Daniels is expected to take the field for the Commanders in Week 5.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“Jayden Daniels practiced in full to open this week (elbow).”
FantasyPros Staff· Oct 10, 2026“We are waiting on word for Terry McLaurin , but if Daniels is ready to roll, he is an upside option on the QB1/QB2 line . The Giants rank last in the NFL in pressure rate (22.1%) and will not have Brian Burns for the rest of the season, but they have allowed only one QB1 scoring week through four games. They have faced Cam Ward (9.4 points) and Jacoby Brissett (10.4 points), but that also includes holding Dak Prescott to 14.4 points and 5.1 yards per pass attempt.”

“At this point, Daniels has extreme laxity in his elbow with multiple ligaments torn due to these repeat injuries. Because of that, the re-injury risk moving forward is high. It’s probably a matter of when, not if, Daniels requires surgery.”
Matthew Betz· Sep 22, 2026“Sit’Em Jayden Daniels (WAS) Injuries crushed Jayden Daniels ‘ 2025 season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 12, 2026“Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) ADP: 59 | (QB5) He has the talent to bounce back after an injury-plagued season last year, but he’s being priced at his ceiling. Despite finishing QB5 in PPR fantasy points per game, a lot of it had to do with his rushing.”
Kyle Zeigler· Aug 7, 2026“As long as Jayden Daniels can remain healthy, this should be a formidable offense”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6, 2026“After a sublime 2024 rookie season in which he threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, ran for 891 yards and six touchdowns, and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels played only seven games in 2025 due to elbow, knee and ankle injuries. When he was healthy, Daniels was a far less efficient passer than he had been in 2024, averaging only 6.7 yards per pass attempt and completing 60.6% of his throws in 2025 (down from 7.4 YPA and a 69.0% completion rate as a rookie).”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 15, 2026“Von Miller spoke about choosing the Commanders, saying "with the Washington Commanders, I just felt like Jayden Daniels was poised for another great season. His rookie season went all the way to the NFC Championship, and last year, he got hit with injuries, not just at the quarterback position, but all over the place."”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 11, 2026“When Daniels did play a complete game, he was still productive for fantasy. In those weeks, he posted 19.6 fantasy points per game, which would have been QB7 for the season. He scored at least 15 fantasy points in six of his seven appearances, showing he still has a high floor.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 9, 2026“Jayden Daniels was a disappointment even before he got hurt. His passing numbers were down, and he only averaged 39.7 rushing yards per game prior to his injury.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Jul 3, 2026“Even in the games Daniels played, it was clear that regression was going to hit. Finishing the season with a 2-5 record as the starter, he averaged 11 fewer rushing yards and 29 fewer passing yards per game compared to his rookie season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 26, 2026“Jayden Daniels was one of three top-five quarterbacks in ADP that finished as a massive fantasy bust, finishing at least 18 spots lower than his ADP at QB34, having missed 19 combined games because of injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Jun 14, 2026“Even when Daniels did play, he looked a step slow compared to his rookie year. His completion percentage dropped by 6.5%, his timing was off, and the offense couldn't sustain drives.”
