Week 5 Fantasy Football WR Rankings: Start of the Week
Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Indianapolis Colts
Rookie WR Brian Thomas Jr. tied his career high in targets last week (9) while finishing as a top 10 WR. The LSU product takes on the Indianapolis Colts this week, a team that ranks bottom ten in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers per game per our D-PAC tool.
The young WR leads the Jaguars in receiving yards and TDs while sitting second in targets. With injuries to the Colts’ secondary and Thomas Jr.’s big play ability, I’m making sure he’s locked into my lineup this week.
