Brian Thomas vs NE at Home — Searching for an Early-Season Spark

Having put the early-season shoulder issue behind him, Thomas is fully healthy and listed as Jacksonville's lead outside receiver alongside veteran Jakobi Meyers. Despite his role on the perimeter, his early involvement has been relatively quiet, securing six receptions for 80 yards on 11 total targets across his first two contests.

Facing New England at home as slight three-point favorites, Thomas has seen his fantasy start rate drop to 12% among managers seeking consistency. Our weekly projections foresee roughly three catches for 43 receiving yards, keeping him firmly in the volatile Flex conversation until his rapport with Trevor Lawrence yields big-play returns.

Tyler Higbee at Philadelphia — Sneaky Streaming Appeal Following Target Surge

Higbee is coming off a dominant Week 3 showing where he hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. With Terrance Ferguson on injured reserve and fellow tight end Colby Parkinson questionable after missing Friday's practice, Higbee is positioned to handle an expanded snap share as a trusted intermediate target for Matthew Stafford.

Our weekly projection pegs Higbee for roughly 3.4 receptions and 27 yards, translating to 8.3 fantasy points against Philadelphia. While currently rostered in just 3% of leagues, his recent target spike and thinning competition in the tight end room elevate him to a viable streaming option for managers needing tight end assistance.
