News: 6 days agoThomas has followed up his impressive spring with a good start to training camp, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.

Spin: That's an assessment shared by Jamal St. Cyr of News4JAX, who noted that Thomas continues to stack good days and came up with the catch of training camp during Monday morning's session. After seeing a dip in production in 2025 following his 87-1,282-10 line as a rookie the year prior, the third-year pro profiles as a bounce-back candidate this coming season, while working alongside fellow WRs Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter, provided he continues to build positive momentum as the summer rolls along.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Thomas is one of the biggest wild cards in fantasy after a roller-coaster start to his career. The 2024 first-round pick was fantasy's No. 4-scoring wide receiver as a rookie, but only played at that WR1 level with Mac Jones under center. Thomas averaged 5.8 targets and 14.4 fantasy PPG with Trevor Lawrence under center that season, and was even worse with Lawrence in 2025 (6.2 targets, 9.9 PPG). With Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter in the mix, Thomas was utilized as more of a vertical threat in 2025 (his 14.4 aDOT was fourth highest), which led to a big dip in catch rate and touchdowns, as well as more drops. The Jaguars offense is suddenly very crowded, so Thomas is more likely to be a boom/bust flex than he is the superstar we expected one year ago. The 23-year-old's raw talent makes him worth middle-round consideration.
