Brian Thomas Jr. has emerged as a top fantasy wide receiver, showcasing a strong finish to his season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Over the last seven games, he averaged 21.5 points per game, placing him third among all wide receivers. His success coincided with increased playing time due to teammates' injuries, allowing him to play upwards of 84% of offensive snaps.

With the hiring of Liam Coen as head coach, Thomas could see his role expand further. Coen has a history of maximizing slot receivers, having previously coached players like Cooper Kupp and Chris Godwin. As the Jaguars' receiving corps undergoes changes, including the addition of Travis Hunter, Thomas's versatility to play in various positions signals a potential spike in targets and fantasy relevance.
