Brian Thomas Faces Philadelphia in London — Low Volume Leaves Him on Fantasy Fringes

Thomas remains Jacksonville's starting outside receiver opposite Jakobi Meyers and hauled in a touchdown last week, but his overall involvement has dried up significantly. Over his past two outings, he has drawn just three total targets for 25 receiving yards, struggling to command consistent looks.

Our weekly projection estimates Thomas for roughly 8.0 fantasy points on nearly three catches and 39 yards. With fantasy managers starting him in only 6% of leagues following steady roster drops, he is best treated as a bench stash until his weekly volume rebounds.

Outlook Dohnte Meyers

Dohnte Meyers at Miami — Emerging Opportunity in a Banged-Up Receiving Corps

Meyers' role has expanded rapidly over the past two weeks, culminating in a seven-catch, 82-yard performance on nine targets. With Andrei Iosivas on injured reserve and top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both missing practice early in the week, Meyers is positioned for significant snaps in Cincinnati's offense.

Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving his roster mark up to 27%. While our weekly projection sits conservatively at 5.4 fantasy points on roughly two catches for 24 yards, Meyers brings genuine upside as a flex streamer against an 0-4 Dolphins team if Cincinnati's stars are sidelined.
