Who Should I Start? Brian Thomas Jr. or Ladd McConkey

Wednesday, November 26, 5:01 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Thomas has missed three straight games after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, and has yet to log a full practice since then. The second-year wideout is expected to return in Week 13 against the Titans, and will hope to finish the season strong after a disappointing first eight games. Thomas has just 30 receptions for 420 yards on 60 targets with two total touchdowns as he's struggled mightily with drops, tying Jerry Jeudy for the league lead with nine. Thomas will project as a WR3 in Week 13 against the Titans, assuming he is able to return.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The entire offense was ineffective, with Justin Herbert passing for only 81 yards, and the Chargers holding the ball for just 22 minutes. After scoring four touchdowns in his last six games, this was McConkey's lowest-target outing of the season and his second-worst game in receptions and yards. He entered Week 11 as the team's clear WR1, but Los Angeles couldn't sustain drives long enough for any receiver to produce. McConkey still leads the league in routes run and ranks in the top 12 in overall targets. With a Week 12 bye ahead, fantasy managers should see this as an outlier with better days ahead.
