Brian Thomas vs. Patriots — Searching for a Breakout Performance at Home

Thomas enters Week 3 without an injury designation after shaking off a minor shoulder scare, firmly holding his starting role on the perimeter opposite Jakobi Meyers. After commanding eight targets in Week 2, the third-year wideout has shown promising involvement despite being capped at 40 receiving yards in each of his first two outings.

Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 9.0 fantasy points on three receptions for 43 yards against New England. While his start rate has dipped to 11% amid modest early box scores, his 90% roster footprint reflects substantial upside. In a favorable home environment, Thomas operates as an upside flex option who could easily pop if Jacksonville connects on deep shots.

Keaton Mitchell at Buffalo — Sparse Workload Keeps Him on Fantasy Benches

Mitchell enters Week 3 fully healthy but locked into a complementary role behind Omarion Hampton in the Chargers' backfield rotation. Through the first two games of the season, Mitchell has managed just nine carries for 33 yards and one reception, operating with limited opportunities alongside Kimani Vidal.

Heading on the road as underdogs against Buffalo, our projections expect Mitchell to see around five carries for 21 rushing yards and minimal passing game involvement, pegging him at roughly 4.2 fantasy points. Given that his start rate is hovering near 1% and his roster share sits around 32%, fantasy managers should keep Mitchell parked firmly on benches.
