Ryan Flournoy vs. WAS — Carving Out Slot Value in Potential Shootout

Flournoy recently inked a one-year contract extension solidifying his role as Dallas’ primary slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Coming off a 2025 campaign where he posted 40 receptions and four touchdowns, he opened the year with two catches on four targets. Dallas hosts Washington in a matchup with significant shootout potential, giving Dak Prescott plenty of passing opportunities inside AT&T Stadium.

Our weekly projection tabs Flournoy for roughly 2.5 receptions and 32 receiving yards on four targets, translating to 7.1 fantasy points. With an ownership rate hovering near 6% and virtually zero start percentage, fantasy managers should treat him as a bench stash or deep-league play rather than a regular starter until his volume consistently expands.

Outlook Brian Thomas

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.
