Outlook Brian Thomas
Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Colts — Plummeting Role Leaves Fantasy Value in Jeopardy
Thomas has seen his role virtually evaporate, getting benched for the entire second half against Houston after failing to secure a catch on five targets over his last two games. With trade rumors intensifying and head coach Liam Coen openly questioning his production, his presence on the field is dwindling even while listed atop the wide receiver depth chart alongside Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington.
Fantasy managers have reacted swiftly, dropping his roster percentage down to 44% with barely 1% actively starting him. Our weekly projection expects just 1.7 receptions for 22 yards against Indianapolis. Until Thomas proves he has reclaimed consistent playing time or lands in a new offense before the trade deadline, he belongs firmly on fantasy benches across all formats.

Outlook Chig Okonkwo
Chig Okonkwo vs. Eagles — Expanding Role in Washington's Passing Attack
Now fully healthy after an early-season hamstring issue, Okonkwo has cemented himself as Washington's starting tight end. With top wideout Terry McLaurin recently placed on injured reserve, additional targets are up for grabs alongside Stefon Diggs. Okonkwo demonstrated that momentum in his last outing, hauling in all seven of his targets for 69 yards.
Our models project him for roughly 3.4 receptions and 35 yards this week against Philadelphia. Still rostered in only 13% of leagues, he offers intriguing PPR streaming appeal, though a modest 40-point game total may limit his scoring opportunities.
