Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said his chemistry with wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has improved this offseason, according to John Oehser of the team's official website. "Last year, at times we just weren't on the same page for whatever reason," Lawrence said. "We have taken a huge step in that area. He's so fast, running by guys all the time. A lot of it was looking at myself and saying, 'OK, where can I improve and get better? How can I get him the ball more accurately on time down the field, give him opportunities to go run under the ball and make plays? He's such a talented player. We just have to find those opportunities more. We talked about it a lot -- BT, Liam, all of us. It's starting to pay off, and it's just the beginning." Thomas was exceptional as a rookie in 2024, catching 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games, but he took a step back in Year 2 and finished with a 48-707-2 line in 14 regular-season games. Even with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington having big roles in the Jags' passing attack, Thomas could bounce back in 2026 with improved chemistry with Lawrence. He'll come cheap in 2026 fantasy drafts and should be targeted as a WR3/flex with upside.
