BALLER MOVE: START!!!!!!
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: So basically, the thing about Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is that he could have almost twice the number of fantasy points he currently has. Yeah, he's that good. It's been seven weeks, and he and his quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, have already left a ton of points on the table.

The following things have already happened. He has been open for long touchdowns at least three times, and either wasn't targeted or was missed by TLaw. He was open in the endzone and wasn't targeted. He was open deep downfield and wasn't targeted at least a few more times.
We're talking about likely the WR3 overall if they connect on those. He has a real shot at being the WR1 if he gets targeted as much as he should be. He's simply not coverable in man coverage. Forget about it.

And if you bust coverage? Good night. He's the fastest player in the NFL this year. In the past seven seasons, DK Metcalf, Raheem Mostert, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Matt Breida are the players who have run faster than he has. That's it.

He was targeted five times in Week 7. That's criminal underutilization. Good thing for fantasy managers, the Jags will face a string of good offenses. If they want a shot at winning, they'll have to start throwing it to him more. If you have him in any of your fantasy leagues and are benching him, respectfully, what on in the world are you doing?
Start him!

To make matters worse, some of them seem […]

It's a great feeling to have players who are sure-fire starters every week and rack up huge point totals regularly. However, most teams aren't loaded with premier top-10 players at their positions. Most teams' RB2 and RB3/FLEX players have plenty of variability in their weekly scoring. There are also changes that shake up many backfields […]
