Should You Start or Sit Thomas in Week 14?
The Jags blew out the Titans on Sunday in Thomas’ return from the ankle injury (three missed games) and made sure he was ready to roll with the first target of the day.
I assume they liked what they saw because BTJ played a full complement of snaps, but he caught just one ball after that initial look and appeared to be the third most dangerous member of this passing attack.
I like Trevor Lawrence as much as anyone, and even I’m not banking on him supporting three pass catchers, so things are going to have to improve in short order for me to feel good about locking Thomas into playoff rosters.
Sauce Gardner is going to miss this game, and that has a ripple effect in various ways. At the base level, it increases the odds of a shootout, and that’s the game environment it’ll take to get all of the Jaguar fringe options home.
I’ve got Jakobi Meyers ranked over Thomas and Brenton Strange, relative to position, more favorably as well. Still, I do think there are points aplenty in this one, and if that proves accurate, flexing Thomas is a viable option.
