Jeremy Fowler reported that the several teams believe Jaguars could trade Brian Thomas Jr. before the November 10th trade deadline. In addition to Parker Washington’s emergence, Thomas does not seem to be a fit in Liam Coen’s offense and played just 21% of snaps last week vs Josh Cameron’s 51% of snaps. Thomas has no catches in the past two games.
Fowler specifically named the Chiefs and Steelers as two possibilities, but there will surely be plenty of teams interested if he is available. Any team acquiring him would be looking for him to return back to his 2024 rookie season form, when Thomas set the league on fire with 1282 yards and 10 TD’s on 87 catches, finishing as the WR4. Fantasy football managers are hoping he is moved to a better situation instead of rotting away in Jacksonville.

After Brian Thomas Jr. played just 23 snaps, John Shipley has laid out a realistic scenario where Thomas shockingly slides to the fourth WR option in Jacksonville. With a 13.3 Average Depth of Target and 2.22 Yards Per Route Run, the talent is real, but the declining snap share puts him on the trade block radar in both real football and fantasy football.
Coen’s pull quote could signal a squeaky wheel game, but Thomas should remain benched in shallow formats until his route participation rebounds. On the other side of that coin, Josh Cameron‘s usage is surging, as Jacksonville is putting his 90th percentile Speed Score to good use. Cameron should be added in all deep fantasy football dynasty league formats.
Minor camp injuries to Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. have opened first-team reps for Day 3 dart throw Josh Cameron. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter is operating primarily as Jacksonville’s CB1, logging single-digit receiver reps in team drills.
Without secure Route Participation or bankable Air Yards share, Hunter presents a volatile profile that removes him from starting FLEX consideration. Cameron, on the other hand, is suddenly on fantasy football dynasty league radars.
