Trends

"Three. That's the number of wide receivers selected before Thomas in the 2024 draft and it's also the number of wide receivers who outscored him in fantasy during his rookie season. The LSU product finished in the top 5 among receivers in both yards and TDs despite ranking 29th in routes and 19th in targets. Thomas' volume will need to increase in Year 2 in order to sustain WR1 fantasy production and, while it's reasonable to expect that boost, it's worth noting he had six 10-plus target games with backup Mac Jones (22.9 fantasy PPG those six weeks) but zero with starter Trevor Lawrence (14.4). The bottom line is Thomas appears to be the real deal and, even with Travis Hunter added to the mix, he has a path to a massive target share in a Liam Coen scheme that was extremely generous to Tampa Bay's wide receivers. Thomas is a good back-end WR1 target."

"Thomas walked off the field with trainers but returned as an observer not long after. While he may be held out of the team's final offseason practice Thursday, it sounds like he'll be fine for the start of training camp in late July. Thomas has mostly been a late-first-round pick in early fantasy drafts, after closing out his rookie season with six straight games of at least 76 yards and 10 targets. Second overall pick Travis Hunter will give defenses something else to worry about in the passing game, but he won't necessarily get enough targets to threaten Thomas' value. Other potential positives for 2025 include a healthier Trevor Lawrence and new head coach Liam Coen."
