BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Thomas Jr. had only two catches last week against the Eagles, but at least was able to take the field as he was initially supposed to miss several weeks with an injury. He played 91% of the snaps as the Jaguars are incredibly short-handed at the receiver position with Christian Kirk out for the season.
With another week to get healthy, Thomas Jr. should lead the Jaguars pass catchers this week against a Vikings defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season.
Breaking: Trevor Lawrence unlikely to
play Week 10 due to a shoulder injury.Could require surgery, uncertain for future weeks.
Brian Thomas Jr and that offense becomes hard to start in fantasy.

Keep an eye on his status, but with several limited practices this week he's tracking to play on Sunday in a great matchup. Trevor Lawrence is not likely to play, but Thomas Jr. and tight end Evan Engram will likely be the main targets for backup quarterback Mac Jones in Sunday's game. He has five touchdowns this season and should see enough volume this week to make him useable as a WR3 or Flex play in standard leagues.
Managers should be cautiously optimistic about Thomas Jr.'s potential even with Lawrence out. He's certainly still a viable option in standard leagues as a flex play.
