Outlook Brian Thomas

Primed for a Bounce-Back Campaign as the Jaguars' Leading Perimeter Target

Brian Thomas enters his third NFL season positioned as the top outside receiver for Jacksonville. Listed as the primary left wide receiver, Thomas anchors a passing game alongside Jakobi Meyers. After a sophomore slump where he posted 707 yards and two touchdowns, recent reports highlight that Thomas and quarterback Trevor Lawrence are already building strong offseason chemistry together.

Thomas's PPR ADP has stabilized around 63 overall after some mid-May volatility. Our models project him for 97 targets, 57 receptions, 853 yards, and five touchdowns. If he can reclaim his rookie-year form when he posted 1,282 yards, he will represent an absolute draft-day steal at his current market cost.

Rostered in 94% of leagues but starting in just 44%, fantasy managers are cautiously keeping him stashed on benches. However, with a locked-in role on the boundary and a direct path to leading the team in targets, he is a prime bounce-back candidate with high-end WR3 value.

Outlook Chris Godwin

Target Vacancies and Slot Dominance Position Godwin for a Resurgence

With Mike Evans departing for San Francisco, Chris Godwin enters the season as the veteran anchor of the Buccaneers' passing attack. Operating as the primary slot receiver while Jalen McMillan and Emeka Egbuka handle outside duties, Godwin is poised to absorb a significant portion of the vacated targets. Head coach Todd Bowles has already hinted at an expanded role for the veteran playmaker.

Our projections expect Godwin to be highly active, pegging him for 69 receptions on 99 targets for 779 yards and 5 touchdowns. Despite his robust 87% ownership rate, only 30% of managers are currently starting him, highlighting a market that remains cautious after a quieter 2025 campaign. However, his secure slot role provides an incredibly stable weekly floor in PPR formats.

Godwin's ADP has shown resilience, rising from the mid-90s in late May back to 85 overall in early June. This upward trajectory suggests savvy fantasy managers are recognizing his immense value. At his current cost, we view him as a potential draft-day steal who offers reliable WR2/WR3 production with room for more.
