Brian Thomas vs CLE at home — Cleared from injury and primed for starting receiver duties

Thomas is officially off the injury report after fully practicing through a minor preseason shoulder issue, entering Week 1 at full strength. He steps into the starting lineup as Jacksonville's top outside receiver alongside Jakobi Meyers, rekindling chemistry with Trevor Lawrence in an offense looking to rebound after a quiet 2025 campaign.

Rostered in 96% of leagues but started in just 19%, Thomas profiles as an intriguing flex option. Our weekly projection slates him for roughly 6 targets, 3 catches, and 50 receiving yards (11.3 fantasy points). While Jacksonville being heavy favorites could yield a run-heavy script, his explosive playmaking ability provides attractive weekly upside.

Outlook Chris Godwin

Chris Godwin at Cincinnati — Primed for slot volume in a projected shootout

Operating out of the slot, Chris Godwin enters the season opener in line for steady work, especially with teammate Jalen McMillan doubtful due to a knee injury. Earlier this offseason, team reports highlighted an expanded role following receiver departures, positioning Godwin to see reliable targets alongside Emeka Egbuka.

Rostered in 94% of leagues but started in only 19%, fantasy managers are proceeding cautiously. Facing Cincinnati in a projected shootout with negative game script as four-point underdogs, our models project roughly 5 targets, 3 catches, and 35 yards (9.1 fantasy points), making him a viable PPR Flex starter.
