Should You Start or Sit Brian Thomas Jr. in Week 6?
The 33-yard catch on Jacksonville’s final drive took me way back to 2024 when Brian Thomas Jr. was making plays left and right.
It was nice to see, but it was his only catch of the second half, and we continue to see a disconnect with Trevor Lawrence.
The optimist in me wants to point to the 69.2% catch rate over the past two weeks as a step in the right direction (Weeks 1-3: 28%), and I suppose it is, but I need more layup targets in my life.
Through five weeks, Thomas has a total of seven receptions coming less than 10 yards down field, and if he is going to turn this season around, he’s going to need to crawl before he can walk. This is a decent spot to try that, as Seattle allows 81.1% of such passes to be completed (third highest in the NFL), but until I see that the Jags are willing to do this, I can’t assume it.
BTJ is sitting right around WR30 for me and is a player you shouldn’t feel obligated to start simply because of the price you paid in August.
