Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Brian Thomas Jr.

Friday, September 26, 4:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown finally got into his stride with a team-leading performance in Week 3, and looks to carry that momentum into a Sunday matchup against the Buccaneers. Last week, Tampa Bay let Garrett Wilson grab 10 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, which makes this game look even more promising for Philly's number one wideout. Brown has 18 targets over his last two outings, which makes his woeful Week 1 statline look more and more like a fluke. While the Bucs defense is allowing the 12th-least points to opposing wideouts in fantasy this season, still consider Brown a low-end WR1 this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the 49ers. Thomas has been battling a wrist injury. Fortunately, he logged full practices throughout the week. Thomas had a stellar rookie year, amassing 87 catches (133 targets) for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. However, he struggled in the Jags' first three games of the 2025 campaign, catching only seven passes for 115 yards. With that in mind, Thomas has been targeted 25 times this season, so it's obvious he remains a go-to option for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. While the 22-year-old still can't be trusted fully from a fantasy standpoint, there's really not a scenario where managers can feel comfortable keeping him out of the starting lineup, especially considering his upside. It's also worth noting that Dyami Brown (shoulder) may not play.
