Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers could be falling back in the pecking order behind WRs Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington. ESPN insider Cameron Wolfe believes Thomas and Washington will be the leading receivers for the team.
Huddle Up: Meyers was the WR30 last season between Vegas and Jacksonville with a 75-835-3 line. That has little chance to repeat unless an injury occurs, and Meyers should be viewed as a back-end option in fantasy.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. will be used a lot on vertical routes down the field, according to a source.
Huddle Up: BTJ ended up being the WR42 in 14 games in PPR leagues last season. The reports are all positive about him and Trevor Lawrence working on chemistry together. Thomas could wind up being a low-end WR2 in drafts with some upside.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Trevor Lawrence have "taken a huge step" in building their rapport this offseason, according to John Oehser of the team's website.
Huddle Up: Lawrence is blaming himself for not being on the same page as Thomas last year, although it should be noted that Thomas' best stretch since entering the league was when Mac Jones took over for an injured Lawrence in 2024. It also does not help Thomas that Lawrence has long been a quarterback who leans more heavily on his slot receiver and someone who doesn't push the ball downfield very often. Managers are well aware of Thomas' upside, but they are advised to remain somewhat skeptical of him being anything more than a fantasy WR3 until further notice.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been making plays during the voluntary workouts and said he is feeling healthy after dealing with injuries in 2025.
Huddle Up: Thomas will be looking for a bounce back season in 2026 and should still be one of the starting receivers for the Jaguars despite his disappointing performance last season. He played very well during his rookie season and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy players he is more productive.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and QB Trevor Lawrence have been putting in extra reps this offseason to improve their chemistry. "We've put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, all those things, get on the same page, and it's starting to pay off," Lawrence said.
Huddle Up: Coming off a disappointing sophomore campaign, Thomas appears to be working hard to bounce back in 2026. He showed his potential during his impressive rookie campaign, and while the Jaguars have become deeper at the receiver position, Thomas is still worth grabbing as a WR3 with upside.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been impressive during voluntary workouts and has been doing well during team meetings, according to head coach Liam Coen.
Huddle Up: Thomas saw a big drop in his status this last season but will still be one of the starting receivers for the Jaguars in 2026. He should be able to improve his stats this upcoming season and can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.'s chemistry with QB Trevor Lawrence in the deep passing game has been a focus this offseason, according to head coach Liam Coen. "Our average depth of target went up towards the second half of the season, but we've got to keep pushing that envelope a little bit - especially with him and BT, that connection," Coen said.
Huddle Up: Thomas is coming off a disappointing sophomore season that saw him finish as one of the biggest fantasy busts at any position. There is some buy-low potential with Thomas, but a return to his rookie form is far from a guarantee. Don't count on Thomas being more than a WR3 or flex option in 2026.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is a player that the New York Jets are monitoring as a potential trade option, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: Thomas is coming off a disappointing sophomore season that saw him slide down the pecking order in the Jacksonville passing attack. A change of scenery could help him recapture his rookie form, but New York isn't exactly an ideal landing spot given the current quarterback situation.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. said he felt more of a comfort level in head coach Liam Coen's offense as the year went on, and he expects the trend to continue in 2026. "Just growing, getting better with the offense," Thomas said. "Just got more comfortable and just was able to go out there and play a little bit more."
Huddle Up: Thomas suffered a huge decline in production in 2025 compared to his rookie season, but on the plus side, quarterback Trevor Lawrence enjoyed his best season to date. If Lawrence and Thomas can recapture their chemistry within the framework of Coen's offense, Thomas could be a nice buy-low candidate in 2026.
