BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. found the end zone for the second time last week and should be viewed as a solid WR2 this weekend.
Through the first four games of his rookie campaign, the LSU product has averaged 4.3 receptions, 68.6 yards, and 6.5 targets in each game.
Over the past two weeks, the former first-round selection has taken a step further as he has seen at least nine targets his way and has run at least 29 routes, with a high of 38 in Week 3. In addition, he caught a season-high six passes last week.

Even though he is still getting accustomed to professional football, Thomas has begun to cement himself as the lead wideout in this wide receiver room. As he is facing a favorable Indianapolis defense who has allowed the 26th-most points to opposing wideouts. Thomas should be locked into all lineups as a WR2 with upside.
