If a player in Jacksonville has the capability to be a league winner this season, it's Brian Thomas Jr. The Jaguars are hopeful that he can be the dynamic, vertical threat in the offense. This is the role that Thomas thrived in at LSU last season.
Thomas led the nation in receiving touchdowns last season, many of them coming on deep plays. His longest touchdown was 86 yards in a matchup against Army. He also finished the year with 11 receptions of 30-plus yards.
He will mesh well with Lawrence as a quarterback, who has been more than willing to push the ball downfield. Lawrence had 71 deep ball attempts (passes with 20-plus air yards) which was 5th among QBs last season. If Lawrence and Thomas can develop a connection, Thomas could be a tremendous fantasy asset.

Trevor Lawrence expected to start Week 13 Shoulder injury By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 29, 11:33 am
| | Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence, who missed the past two games with a left shoulder injury, is expected to play Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Lawrence under center gives a better fantasy floor to WR Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Evan Engram. The Texans also represent a decent matchup for Lawrence as they've given up the 8th most fantasy points to quarterbacks. He'll be on the high-end QB2 radar for Week 13.
| Trevor Lawrence Out Week 11, shoulder injury Could return in Week 13 By: Mike Krueger | Wed Nov 13, 10:33 am
| | Jaguars HC Doug Pederson says QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will be out this week. Optimistic that he can play after the bye week. (Michael DiRocco on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Lawrence missed Week 10 with his shoulder injury but it sounds like he will return in Week 13 to face the Texans. Mac Jones was awful in relief last week, throwing for a grand total of 111 yards against the Vikings. His prognosis this week against the Lions isn't much better, which will drag down the fantasy value of WR Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Evan Engram.
| Both Etienne and Bigsby likely to play Jags have numerous injuries on offense By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 3, 2:09 am
| | #Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) and RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, sources say.
It's the same for WR Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), though Gabe Davis (shoulder) appears to be more of a long-shot. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jaguars are dealing with a number of injuries to their offensive personnel but it sounds like both running backs will be active which caps their ceiling. With Gabe Davis likely to miss, expect Parker Washington to get more looks this week against the Eagles who are giving up the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers.
| TE Evan Engram downgraded to Out for Week 2 Hamstring injury sustained in pregame warmups By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 15, 11:59 am
| | TE Evan Engram sustained a hamstring injury in pregame warmups and has been ruled out for today's game. (Jaguars PR on X)
FFToday's Take: Rough. Expect more looks for the Jaguars receivers including Brian Thomas Jr., Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis. All three are viable options against the Browns in Week 2.
