Brian Thomas Jr. a Potential Trade Candidate at the Deadline
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a candidate to get moved ahead of the upcoming November 10 trade deadline, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Thomas Jr. has been a major bust for fantasy managers so far this season, recording nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets across six games. He has gone without a reception in back-to-back games for the Jaguars and played just 15 snaps in his team's Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. However, Thomas Jr. is just a couple of years removed from recording 1,282 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie in 2024. The 24-year-old clearly has talent and upside, which could potentially be unlocked by a fresh start with a new team. Fowler mentions the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers as teams that could potentially be in the market for pass-catching help at the deadline. In deeper leagues, Thomas Jr. could be worth stashing or buying low, just in case he has a new home after the trade deadline.

Brian Thomas Jr. Unplayable After Back-to-Back Catchless Outings
Seeing two targets in the team's Week 6 loss to the Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was held without a catch for the second straight week. He regularly left the field in favor of sixth-round rookie Josh Cameron and two-way star Travis Hunter, who played a season-high nine offensive snaps and finished the game with 59 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. Trade rumors continue to swirl around Thomas, who has disappointed mightily since a 1,282-yard, 10-touchdown rookie season, but as long as he remains with the Jaguars, he has become unplayable for fantasy. After opening the year with back-to-back 40-yard outings, Thomas has made only three catches for 25 yards since Week 3 and has fallen all the way to WR90 on the year.

Commanders, Rams Emerge as Top Landing Spots for Brian Thomas Jr.
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has become the odd man out on offense for the Jaguars in 2026, and the Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Rams have emerged as logical landing spots for the former first-rounder as the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaches, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. The Rams are 2-4 and just lost veteran receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) for the next six to 10 weeks due to injury. Outside of star Puka Nacua and Adams, the Rams have one of the worst WR depth charts in the NFL. The Commanders, meanwhile, sit at 1-4-1 after losing to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, and they likely have lost star receiver Terry McLaurin to a season-ending knee injury that he suffered on Monday. Head coach Dan Quinn will likely be gone after the 2026 season, but general manager Adam Peters could be looking to make a move to reunite quarterback Jayden Daniels with Thomas. The two played together for one season at LSU. The 24-year-old had a 1,000-yard season and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, but he has regressed since and only has nine catches on 20 targets for 105 yards and one touchdown through six weeks this year. Thomas did not play a single snap in the second half of Sunday's loss to the division-rival Houston Texans on London, and at this point, a change in scenery might be the only thing that could revive his fantasy value.

Travis Hunter a Deep-League Stash Candidate After Big Week 6?
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter has seen the majority of his playing time in 2026 on the defensive side of the ball. However, the 23-year-old saw heavier involvement on offense in Week 6 and delivered, recording four catches for 49 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans. Hunter still only played nine snaps on offense against Houston, so fantasy managers should temper their expectations for his production. Still, Jacksonville may slowly be ramping up Hunter's offensive workload as the season progresses. In deeper fantasy leagues, Hunter could be worth stashing off the waiver wire for his potential season-long upside.

Brian Thomas Jr. Puts Up Zeroes in Week 6 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. had no catches on two targets in his team's Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. The former LSU product has seen a sharp decline since his rookie season and has just nine receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown through six contests. Meanwhile, Parker Washington continued to produce in Week 6 with four receptions for 64 yards, and Jakobi Meyers led Jacksonville's receiving corps with five receptions for 83 yards. Bhayshul Tuten, Travis Hunter, and Nate Boerkircher all caught touchdown passes on Sunday, further highlighting Thomas's omission from the stats sheet.

Travis Hunter Shines in Two-Way Role for Jaguars in Loss to Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter starred in a two-way role in a 34-31 Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans in London. Hunter recorded four receptions (on four targets) for 59 yards (14.8 yards per catch) and a touchdown on offense. Defensively, Hunter amassed three tackles, one interception and one pass defended. Hunter played a season-high nine snaps on offense and made the most of his reps with high production in limited opportunities. He also played 62 snaps on defense, and his interception of C.J. Stroud in the end zone came with under four minutes to play. Unfortunately for Jacksonville, Hunter's playmaking ability was not enough. The Jaguars clearly were willing to utilize Hunter's full skill set in Week 6, but it remains to be seen how involved offensively he will be moving forward. While Hunter's usage needs to be monitored, he is most likely still too risky to put in your lineup following Jacksonville's bye week, at least until he sees more consistent opportunities.

Jakobi Meyers a Strong Streamer in Favorable Spot
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is a fine option off the waiver wire for Week 6's matchup with their division-rival Houston Texans in London. Meyers joined Jacksonville in a trade with the Raiders at last season's deadline and became a go-to target during the team's playoff push. In 2026, the veteran's role has taken a step back, acting as little more than a tertiary option in the Jags' attack. That said, Meyers currently ranks third among Jacksonville's pass catchers in receptions (15), yards (202), and targets (18). While it may not always show up in the box score due to a run-heavy game plan, the 29-year-old has been involved. He's worth streaming consideration, especially against a Texans defense that hasn't been as formidable as it was in 2025.

Brian Thomas Jr. Remains Off Jaguars' Trade Block
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. continues to draw attention around the league ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, but the team has shown no indication that it intends to move him, according to Jonathan Jones of The Athletic. Speculation surrounding the former first-round pick has increased following Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade to Houston, particularly as Thomas' role in Jacksonville continues to diminish. He failed to catch any of his three targets against Philadelphia in Week 5 and has managed just three receptions for 25 yards over his last three games. Thomas has only nine catches for 105 yards and one touchdown through five contests, a dramatic decline from his 87-catch, 1,282-yard rookie campaign in 2024. Meanwhile, Parker Washington has established himself as Jacksonville's leading receiver with 22 catches for 352 yards and four touchdowns. With no indication that a trade is imminent, Thomas remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups until his involvement in the offense improves.

Jakobi Meyers a Low-End Flex Play Against Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is a solid flex option in Week 6 against the Houston Texans. The veteran receiver has been surprisingly touchdown-dependent to start the season, with his only busy game coming in Week 3 against his former team. Beyond that seven-catch, 64-yard, touchdown performance in Week 3, Meyers has combined eight catches in the other four games this season. He wasn't expected to be a top performer for the Jaguars coming into the season. Still, Parker Washington and even Brenton Strange over the last two weeks have clearly been better passing options for Trevor Lawrence. Meyers has a reasonable floor given the Jaguars' offensive firepower, but he lacks the upside to be a clear starting fantasy receiver. Despite a plus matchup against the Houston Texans, Meyers is RotoBaller's WR37 in the latest rankings, making him mainly a FLEX or bye-week replacement in Week 6.

Brian Thomas Jr. a Bench Stash Heading into Week 6
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been a massive disappointment heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Houston Texans. The 24-year-old has nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown across five games this season. Whether he doesn't fit into the offense or is dealing with injuries, hehe'seen overshadowed by alrker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Brenton Strange, and even rookie receiver Josh Cameron recently. Rumors suggest he could be traded, which is likely the ideal scenario for his fantasy managers. He hasn't caught more than three passes in a game this season, and he even blanked last week. On the bright side, he scored a touchdown in Week 4 and almost scored in Week 5 (his second foot barely stepped out of bounds). Unless he gets traded to a better situation, as Marvin Harrison Jr. did recently, fantasy managers should avoid starting BTJ outside deep leagues in Week 6.

Parker Washington Primed to Continue Breakout Season in Week 6
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington continues to impress and looks like a league-winner heading into Week 6. In a matchup with a surprisingly vulnerable Houston Texans defense (ranked 30th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers), Washington remains a clear WR1. The breakout star looks to build on a superb London performance last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, catching six of nine targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Besides a Week 4 dud against the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington has been impressive, but Week 5 was his first true boom performance. He capped off the brilliant performance with a one-handed touchdown on fourth down, giving the Jaguars a two-point lead with just over three minutes to play. If Washington keeps making highlight-worthy catches and thrives in big moments, his upside will be immense for the rest of the season. Washington has entered must-start territory in Week 6.

Parker Washington Shakes Off Rare Dud Outing, Returns to Top-Tier Form
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington had a disappointing performance back in Week 4 with just one catch for seven yards, but outside of that game, he has been truly remarkable this season. Through five weeks, Washington has been the undisputed No. 1 receiver in Jacksonville, catching 22 passes for 352 yards and four touchdowns. Despite the uncharacteristic one-catch outing in Week 4, Washington has managed to rank as the overall WR9 in scoring (PPR) so far this season. As long as he remains healthy, he should continue to handle a large workload like he did last week, when he caught six of nine targets for a pair of touchdowns. It's also worth noting that he has played at least 80% of the offensive snaps in each of his last four games, showing off his consistent playing time. The 24-year-old has been one of the most pleasant surprises in fantasy football this year, and he should continue to rank as a mid-to-low WR1 with potential league-winning upside.

Brian Thomas Jr. May Be Droppable in Shallower League Formats
Across five games so far in 2026, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has recorded just nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. The 24-year-old's underwhelming season hit a new low in Week 5, when he was held without a catch on three targets by the Philadelphia Eagles. Thomas Jr. looked like a potential breakout superstar after his rookie season in 2024, when he logged nearly 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches. However, his production has declined sharply over the last two years. Thomas Jr. has recorded more than three targets in just one out of five games in 2026, and he's fallen behind Jaguars wideouts Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers on the team's depth chart. Thomas Jr. retains some deep-league appeal for fantasy managers, but he's droppable in shallower league formats.

Josh Cameron Showing Promise as a Deep-League Waiver Stash
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Josh Cameron is making a case for a roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues after another encouraging performance in Week 5. The rookie caught three of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 19-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, setting a career high in targets after drawing just six combined through his first four games. Cameron has eight receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns on the season, despite playing a relatively limited role in Jacksonville's offense. He was on the field for just 22 offensive snaps (31%) against Philadelphia but drew twice as many targets as Brian Thomas Jr., who played 37 snaps. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers remain firmly ahead of Cameron in the receiving rotation, while Thomas continues to command more playing time. Still, Cameron's ability to earn opportunities without a full-time role makes him an interesting name to watch. Jacksonville faces Houston in Week 6 before heading into its bye, limiting his immediate appeal. Fantasy managers in leagues with 14 or more teams and sufficient bench space can justify stashing Cameron, particularly if his involvement continues to increase.

Jakobi Meyers an Under-the-Radar Waiver-Wire Target
Across five games so far in 2026, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has recorded 15 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets. While the veteran wideout's numbers don't jump off the page, his limited production is partially a function of his team's run-heavy game scripts. Through five weeks, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is averaging just 28.6 pass attempts per game. Meyers leads Jacksonville wide receivers in snaps, and he's established himself as the team's clear WR2 alongside breakout wideout Parker Washington. If the Jaguars are forced to turn to the air a bit more going forward, Meyers could be well-positioned for an uptick in his numbers. In leagues where he remains available, Meyers could be an under-the-radar waiver wire target for fantasy managers.
