Brian Thomas Jr. a WR2 With Upside in Week 9
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) has a chance for more volume, and therefore, more upside in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was limited at practice all week but has no injury designation. With rookie receiver Travis Hunter (knee) placed on IR, BTJ now stands out as the clear alpha receiver for the Jaguars offense. He was already expected to be coming into the season but hasn’t quite churned out the greatest results, but improved health and extra time to game plan could mean a better statistical output for the young receiver. Brian Thomas Jr. remains a WR2 for now, but has the upside, especially against a weak Raiders pass defense, to produce WR1 numbers and come out firing after the bye.
