Brian Thomas Jr. fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Brian Thomas Jr. for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR26
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was the WR9 in Week 5, totaling five receptions on eight targets for 122 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 20.7 half-point PPR fantasy points against the Indianapolis Colts. However, the star rookie wide receiver had 69.7% of his receiving yards and 72.5% of his fantasy points on the deep ball touchdown.

While the RotoBaller rankings have Thomas as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3, he is a boom-or-bust WR4/flex option for me this week. The Jaguars should have Evan Engram for the first time since opening weekend because of a hamstring injury.
More importantly, the Chicago Bears have held wide receivers to 20.5 fantasy points per game, the seventh-fewest in the NFL. They have given up only one receiving touchdown to wide receivers this season, surrendering a 28-yard score to Nico Collins in Week 2. Furthermore, Collins is the only wide receiver (23.5) to score more than 10.2 fantasy points in any game against the Bears this year.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3 ANALYSIS: The Buffalo Bills made a splash this past offseason, acquiring veteran wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. Moore had been a top-24 fantasy receiver for all six years from 2019 through 2024, but he dropped to WR35 last year. After the […]
Rhamondre Stevenson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-end RB2 ANALYSIS: The New England Patriots' running back room has been heavily analyzed all summer long. TreVeyon Henderson's youth and explosiveness have consistently caught drafters' attention more often than Rhamondre Stevenson’s safer floor and secured volume. The two saw a similar workload last season until Stevenson […]
Jaylen Warren - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as RB2 in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After three seasons as the Steelers' RB2 behind Najee Harris and making zero starts, Jaylen Warren finally took the starting job in 2025 and silenced many of his critics. He admittedly got off to a slow start, but really got going following a […]
Marvin Harrison Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as WR3 in 12-Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Are NFL fans being too harsh on Marvin Harrison Jr.? The Ohio State product was picked fourth overall in 2024 and had an objectively solid rookie season, which was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey's outstanding rookie […]
