Finds end zone in wild-card loss
Thomas caught both his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday.
Analysis: The second-year wideout saw limited volume once again, but he made his looks count with a three-yard TD in the second quarter that put Jacksonville on the board. Thomas' struggles in 2025 defied easy explanation, and it will be one of coach Liam Coen's major projects this offseason to find a way to get the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft back on the same page with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. After a dazzling rookie season that saw Thomas produce an 87-1,282-10 line on 133 targets over 17…read more

Modest production in Week 18
Thomas recorded three receptions on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Thomas was involved in the game early, earning three targets on the team's first four offensive possessions. However, he then exited the game to be evaluated for a concussion and missed nearly the entire second quarter. Jacksonville then pulled its starters early in the fourth quarter, meaning Thomas played only around half of the game. While that would explain his limited output, this was one of Thomas' more productive performances of late, marking only the third time in his last six matchups…read more

Exits Sunday's game
Thomas is being evaluated for a potential concussion during Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Before that, Thomas caught one of his two targets in the contest for 22 yards. While he's sidelined, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Tim Patrick and Dyami Brown will handle the Jaguars' Week 18 WR duties.

Out-targeted by two other WRs
Thomas caught four of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Thomas tied Jakobi Meyers for third on the Jaguars in receiving yards behind Parker Washington (115) and Brenton Strange (54). Washington paced the team with 10 targets for the second consecutive game and Thomas was also out-targeted, 9-7, by Meyers. Thomas has struggled to find consistency while working as part of a crowded pass-catching group in Jacksonville, though there could be plenty of production to go around in Week 18, when the 12-4 Jaguars can clinch the AFC South by beating the 3-13…read more

Disappears again
Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Thomas had shown some promising signs in recent weeks after underperforming for most of the season. However, he found opportunity hard to come by in Sunday's upset win, as he finished fifth on the team in targets. His longest gain went for only nine yards, and he was held to his lowest yardage total from scrimmage on the campaign.

Opens scoring in win over Jets
Thomas caught four of seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Jets. He also rushed once for five yards.
Analysis: Thomas capped the opening drive with a four-yard touchdown catch. Trevor Lawrence threw four more touchdown passes, but each of those went to running backs. Jakobi Meyers had five more receiving yards than Thomas while tying for the team lead in targets, but both receivers have been productive the past couple games while catching passes from the locked-in Lawrence. Thomas will face a tough test in Week 16 against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

Makes splash plays
Thomas recorded three catches on six targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Jakobi Meyers led the Jaguars in targets, but Thomas delivered several big plays to pace Jacksonville in yardage. He made a particularly impressive one-handed catch down the right sideline late in the first quarter for a 39-yard gain -- his longest of the day. Thomas' other two catches went for 30 and 18 yards, giving him his highest yardage total since Week 6. While he's had a disappointing season, Thomas has a strong chance to remain on track heading into a favorable Week 15 matchup against…read more

Two catches in return
Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Thomas returned from a three-game absence caused by an ankle injury, but his disappointing season continued. The Jaguars were able to rely relatively heavily on their run game while playing with at least a two-score lead for most of the game, but Thomas still finished tied for third on the team in targets. While he converted receptions of 17 and 11 yards, Thomas has now been held below 50 receiving yards in five of his nine games on the campaign.

Logs full practice Thursday
Thomas (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: This past Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network indicated that Thomas -- who last played in Week 9 -- had a good chance to return to action in Week 13 versus the Titans, and the wideout's return to a full practice Thursday paves the way for that to occur. In the eight contests he's been available for, Thomas has recorded a 30-420-1 line on 60 targets, a pace down from his strong level of output in 2024, yet enough to make the Jaguars' top WR worthy of fantasy lineup consideration in his looming…read more

Analysis: Per Pelissero, Thomas -- who last played in Week 9 -- is getting close to a return after having logged limited three straight limited practices ahead of Week 12 action.

Analysis: Though Thomas has been on the field for five consecutive Jaguars practices, he's yet to advance beyond limited participation.

Thomas (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas was also limited at practice last week before being listed as questionable for this past Sunday's win over the Chargers, a game that the wideout was inactive for. Thomas -- who last saw game action in Week 9 -- now has two more chances to practice fully ahead of this weekend's game against the Cardinals.

Sitting out second straight game
Thomas (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Though Thomas was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, he ultimately didn't display enough progress in his recovery from a low-grade high-ankle sprain to avoid a second straight missed game. With Thomas sidelined, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington will likely serve as Jacksonville's top two wideouts, and Dyami Brown and Tim Patrick could also see their profiles in the passing game expand.

Despite the step forward in practice activity from the week before, Thomas still looks poised to miss a second straight contest to give his ankle more time to heal.

Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Thomas didn't practice last week before being ruled out for this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, so his return to a limited session Wednesday offers hope that the wideout can play this weekend against the Chargers. However, unless Thomas is able to practice fully by Friday, he figures to carry a Week 11 injury designation.

Nursing low-grade sprain
Thomas sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 30-29 overtime win over the Raiders, but the Jaguars are optimistic that he'll be able to play through the injury in Week 10 versus Houston, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though high-ankle sprains almost always cause players to miss at least one game, Thomas appears to have a realistic chance at avoiding an absence since his injury looks to be of the mild variety. Even so, his practice activity will be affected this week.

Analysis: Thomas finished as the Jaguars' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets, holding the top spot in the middle category for the second consecutive week. His final catch of the night was the most critical, as he recorded a 33-yard grab on Jacksonville's game-winning drive and then drew a pass interference penalty that wiped out an interception four plays later.

Leading receiver in win
Thomas finished with five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards while adding seven rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 26-21 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Thomas finished as the Jaguars' leading receiver in another low-volume passing day from Trevor Lawrence (21-for-31, 174 yards, one TD). The 22-year-old wideout gained seven yards on his second rushing attempt of the season, but he was unable to reproduce the trip to the end zone from his first attempt back in Week 1.

Thomas (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Monday that Thomas entered Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Bengals nursing a wrist injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Thomas wasn't listed on Jacksonville's injury report leading up to Sunday's loss, so his wrist injury could have been sustained over the weekend. An injury would somewhat explain Thomas' inefficiency versus Cincinnati, as he secured just four of 12 targets for 49 yards during the narrow loss and at times seemed to visibly shy away from contact.

Inefficient in Week 2 loss
Thomas secured four of 12 targets for 49 yards in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: For the second time in as many games to open the new season, the Trevor Lawrence-Thomas connection was in less than optimal form. The star wideout led the Jaguars in targets by a wide margin, but he was only third in receiving yards despite the abundance of opportunities.

Finds end zone in tough day
Thomas caught one of seven targets for 11 yards and took his only carry nine yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: It was a frustrating start to his second NFL season for Thomas, but he salvaged his day with a TD on an end-around in the second quarter. Better days will be ahead for the LSU product as the Jaguars adjust to new coach Liam Coen's scheme, but the 1-11-0 line is already worse than Thomas had in any game as a rookie. He'll look for bigger volume and better production on the road Week 2 against the Bengals.

Four targets in two possessions
Thomas caught two of four targets for eight yards in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Saints. He also rushed once for two yards.
Analysis: Thomas played two drives and worked as the top target for Trevor Lawrence over that span, especially in the absence of rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter (upper body). Expectations for Thomas are sky high after a 1,282-yard, 10-touchdown rookie regular season. The Jaguars will wrap up preseason play with a trip to Miami on Saturday.

Plays briefly in preseason opener
Thomas recorded one reception on two targets for eight yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Like most of Jacksonville's top skill-position players, Thomas played on the first offensive possession before sitting out the rest of the game. He accounted for Trevor Lawrence's first completion of the game, though his most noteworthy moment of the contest came four plays later, when he was hit hard by Juan Thornhill while trying to make a catch. Thomas came away unscathed, and it remains to be seen if he'll suit up for any additional preseason contests.

Tops 100 yards to close out year
Thomas caught seven of 11 targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft closed out his rookie campaign in style, topping 100 yards for the third time in the last four games. Thomas benefitted down the stretch from the fact that Christian Kirk (collarbone), Gabe Davis (knee) and Evan Engram (shoulder) were all on the shelf, but he was also catching passes from Mac Jones and not Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). Thomas finished the year having compiled an 87-1,282-10 line on 133 targets, with the yardage figure leading all rookies.…read more

Strong close to campaign continues
Thomas recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans. He added one rush for 18 yards.
Analysis: Thomas has been on an impressive run of production, particularly considering Mac Jones has been his quarterback. That continued Sunday, as he was the focal point of Jacksonville's passing attack and delivered long catches of 31 and 17 yards. He capped his performance with an impressive 11-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter to all but clinch victory for the Jaguars. Thomas has at least 80 receiving yards and/or a touchdown in six straight contests.

Tops 1,000 receiving yards
Thomas recorded nine receptions on 13 targets for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Thomas continued to see excellent volume with Mac Jones under center, with Sunday's performance marking his fourth straight with double-digit targets. He also continued to deliver splash plays, the highlight being a 62-yard catch and run into the end zone late in the third quarter. Thomas now has at least 76 receiving yards in all four games since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye while finding the end zone a total of four times. The performance also put him over 1,000 yards for the campaign.

Racks up 105 yards, two TDs in loss
Thomas caught 10 of 14 targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Thomas has proven capable of overcoming mediocre quarterback play as a rookie, accounting for both of Mac Jones' touchdown passes in this latest Jacksonville loss. The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft capped the opening drive with a three-yard touchdown catch and added a go-ahead 19-yard touchdown reception with 10:58 remaining in the fourth. Thomas topped 100 receiving yards for just the second time while posting the first multi-touchdown performance of his young career. He'll take a…read more

Remains bright spot
Thomas recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Thomas was one of the few players to get going in an ugly offensive showing from both teams. He delivered splash plays of 31 and 21 yards on the Jaguars' only touchdown drive of the game, setting up a rushing score for Tank Bigsby. Despite otherwise being limited to short gains, Thomas has at least 75 receiving yards and four receptions in each of his last three games.

Catches late TD from Jones
Thomas brought in four of 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for 11 yards.
Analysis: Thomas finished second on the Jaguars in receiving yards and targets to Parker Washington, and he rounded out his fantasy afternoon nicely with a late six-yard touchdown reception. The touchdown was Thomas' sixth overall and first since Week 8, and he's now compiled 158 receiving yards over the last two games while working with Mac Jones for a significant portion of that span. With Jones almost certainly drawing a Week 14 start in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion) on the road against the…read more

Paces receivers in loss
Thomas secured five of seven targets for 82 yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed once for four yards.
Analysis: Thomas actually managed to cobble together a solid performance despite the lopsided nature of the loss and the fact he was catching passes from Mac Jones instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder). The rookie wideout tied with Evan Engram for the team lead in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, recording his highest totals in all three categories since Week 7. Thomas should have a good chance of having Lawrence back under center in a Week 13 home divisional battle…read more

Cleared despite limited practices
Thomas (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mia O'Brien of 1010XL Radio reports.
Analysis: Thomas was limited in all three of Jacksonville's practices but will play through a chest contusion for a third consecutive game. Jacksonville's No. 1 wide receiver is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option Week 11. Thomas has just 34 receiving yards over the past two games while playing through this injury and will be catching passes from backup quarterback Mac Jones on Sunday, but the Lions are allowing 199.1 receiving yards per game to wide receivers.

He hasn't missed any game action because of the injury, playing 90 percent of snaps in a Week 9 loss to the Eagles and 86 percent of snaps in a Week 10 loss to the Vikings.

Thomas (chest) was limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Gabe Davis (shoulder) was also limited, but with neither receiver reported to have suffered a setback in this past Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings, both are seemingly tracking toward playing Week 11 against the Lions. Rather than chest injury, of greater concern to Thomas' fantasy outlook for Sunday's game against the Lions is the Jaguars' quarterback situation.

Quiet in Week 10 loss
Thomas caught two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The rookie first-round pick played 86 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps but saw fewer than five targets for the third straight game. The Jaguars struggled to move the ball with Mac Jones under center, and Thomas' fantasy upside is likely to be limited while Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is unavailable.

Likely to play Sunday
Thomas (chest), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thomas appears set to play through a chest issue for a second straight week, despite initial reports that emerged in the aftermath of him suffering the injury which suggested that he could miss 2-to-4 weeks. In last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, the rookie wideout notched just two catches for a season-low 22 yards, but he logged a season-high 90 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps.

Limited in Wednesday's practice
Thomas (chest) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas played through the chest contusion in the Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles, but he was held to a career-low 22 receiving yards. If the standout rookie can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Vikings, it could portend a return to his previous level of production. Thomas averaged 71.6 receiving yards per game and caught five touchdown passes over his first eight NFL games.

Quiet game Sunday
Thomas had two receptions (four targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Thomas saw his production take a hit in Week 9 following a pair of outings with 60-plus yards and a touchdown in each. The 2024 first-round selection has still been a strong fantasy asset with 35 receptions, 595 yards and five touchdowns through nine contests this season. Thomas will look to resume his scoring ways in next Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

Thomas (chest) is active for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Eagles.
Analysis: The star rookie practiced in a limited fashion all week and was believed to be trending toward active status, which now is official. Thomas will have a chance to enjoy his largest target opportunity share yet, considering Christian Kirk (IR, collarbone) and Gabe Davis (inactive, shoulder) are unavailable and Jacksonville could well have to eventually adopt a pass-heavy approach in a game in which it's a significant road underdog.

Thomas was one of three Jacksonville receivers to emerge from the Week 8 loss to the Packers with an injury, as he was forced out in the second half with a chest contusion.

Finds end zone in win
Thomas secured all five targets for 89 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for two yards in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.
Analysis: The rookie wideout tied or set the pace for the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets. He also was the only Jacksonville pass catcher to find the end zone, recording a six-yard grab early in the second quarter for his third touchdown in the last four games. Despite Trevor Lawrence's struggles at times this season, Thomas has found a way to remain productive on most weeks and once again figures to be heavily involved in a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers.

Thomas has had a very productive start to his NFL career, putting together a 17-275-2 line on 26 targets over four games, and his role in the passing game is on the rise heading into a Week 5 clash with the Colts.

The explosive rookie also recorded his first NFL touchdown on an impressive catch against standout cornerback Jalen Ramsey from 14 yards out just past the midway point of the second quarter.

Thomas brought in his only target for 38 yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Thomas played on a pair of offensive drives, both of which came with Trevor Lawrence. Though he was targeted only once, Thomas did showcase his big-play ability while making a long catch before turning up the field to pick up an additional 20 yards. He has seemingly cemented himself as a starting outside receiver opposite Gabe Davis with Christian Kirk operating primarily out of the slot heading into a Week 1 matchup against Miami.

It was an auspicious start to the rookie first-round pick's on-field NFL career, and the play offered a glimpse of the talent that could enable Thomas to eventually make a push for the Jaguars' No. 2 receiver job.
