Brian Thomas Jr. "Chasing" the Others in Receivers Room

Saturday, August 1, 9:18 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a stacked wide receiver room going into the 2026 season, with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington seemingly at the top, with former first-rounder Brian Thomas Jr. and former Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter "chasing" them, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. "Park [WR Parker Washington] and Kob [WR Jakobi Meyers], they're going to always do their thing. They're going to always be there. They're the first people in the building. B.T. and I are chasing that. We want to be the first person in the building," Hunter said. Thomas, 23, had an eye-opening 87-1,282-10 line in 17 games as a rookie in 2024, but he regressed with 48 catches, 707 yards, and only two touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year, and now he could be the WR3 for the Jags going into his third season. However, Thomas has had a strong offseason while gaining chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and he figures to remain a key piece of the team's passing game in 2026. There's a clear buying opportunity here in dynasty/keeper leagues, and Thomas could be a nice value pick in redraft leagues as a WR3/flex with upside as he looks to bounce back in Year 3.

KC Concepcion Stacking Plays for Browns

Sunday, August 2, 6:37 AM

Cleveland Browns first-round rookie receiver KC Concepcion has made plays throughout the early days of training camp while working as part of a heavy rotation, and Saturday was no exception. With the team working on short-yardage scenarios, Concepcion caught a goal-line touchdown from Shedeur Sanders during 7-on-7 work. Concepcion has largely been used as the top option out of the slot in three-receiver sets, but he has the size and versatility to be moved across the formation. At RotoBaller's WR49, he can often be found behind a deep tier of receivers in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, but should he eventually work himself into something close to a Zay Flowers role in Todd Monken's offense, Concepcion could greatly outperform his draft cost and become a weekly fantasy starter by year's end.
