Brian Thomas Jr.

He’s getting more passes and is on the field almost every play, so start BTJ this week — just check his wrist before kickoff and bench him if he’s listed limited or you have a safer option.

Start BTJ this week — he got a lot of targets in Week 1 and faces a Cincinnati defense that’s been easy on receivers. Watch pregame updates on Trevor Lawrence and BTJ’s playing time, because missed throws or fewer snaps would change how much you should trust him.

Start/add Thomas for Week 1 — Carolina’s pass defense is weak and his team looks likely to throw a lot, so he should see plenty of chances. He’s a rookie with a new coach who should get him more targets, so treat him as a risky starter or bench option (good to stash in dynasty and a small dart throw in daily contests), and watch his early snaps and target share.

Yes — grab him in the late first or early second round. He had a huge rookie year and should keep getting lots of passes if his quarterback stays healthy, though new teammates could take some looks.
