BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR34
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has had a solid start to his NFL career. The rookie is the WR31, averaging 63 receiving yards and 10.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former LSU star started his career with a bang, scoring a touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Unfortunately, Thomas plays on a dysfunctional offense. The Jaguars have looked awful over the first three weeks. Yet, the rookie has played well, totaling 94 receiving yards or a touchdown in two of three games. More importantly, he had a career-high nine targets last week.
While Jacksonville’s offense is a mess, fantasy players can start the rookie as a flex option in Week 4. Thomas faces a susceptible Houston Texans pass defense that surrendered 133 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 31.1 fantasy points to the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers in Week 3.
Furthermore, Houston has given up 172.5 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 34.4 fantasy points per game to wide receivers in their two matchups against offenses led by a non-rookie quarterback this season.
