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.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson vs. Colts — Backup Role in Home Matchup Keeps Him on Benches
Johnson operates as Kansas City's primary backup running back behind starter Kenneth Walker. In his debut, the rookie saw eight carries and hauled in two passes for 44 receiving yards, showing immediate rotational utility despite starting left tackle Josh Simmons missing time with a back injury.
Rostered in 35% of leagues but started in just 1%, Johnson holds minimal standalone fantasy value while Walker remains healthy. Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 5.1 fantasy points on five carries and two targets against Indianapolis. The Chiefs are solid home favorites, making Johnson an appealing bench stash with contingency upside rather than an active lineup option.
