Brian Thomas

Brian Thomas Jr. caught 5-of-7 targets for 82 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 11 loss to the Lions.

BTJ did nearly all of his damage in the second half, catching four balls for 80 yards after the break. The Jags were playing from at least a 22-point deficit for the entire second half, ratcheting up their passing volume while also seeing some lax coverage looks from the Lions. Thomas nearly had a 33-yard, top-tapping reception late in the game, but Detroit challenged the meaningless grab and had it overturned. Thomas didn’t have full possession of the ball as he went to the ground, though the fact that there was enough evidence to overturn the catch was surprising to say the least. If Mac Jones makes another start coming out of the Jags’ Week 12 bye, BTJ will remain anchored to the WR3 ranks versus the Texans.
