How did Jacksonville use their WRs in 2023, and how might one project Brian Thomas' deployment in 2024? The more real football context you consume and understand, the better you'll be at placing #FantasyFootball bets.

Positional Usage Rate
- Ridley (X): 83% outside, 16% in the slot
- Kirk (Slot): 67% slot, 32% outside
- Jones (Z): 70% outside, 29% slot
The addition of Gabe Davis does nothing to Thomas, in my opinion. Davis played 77% of his snaps last year on the outside, with only 17% coming from the slot. He's going to play the field-stretching Z role.
Thomas should slide into the X or Slot role (depending on how they plan to deploy Kirk) immediately. Given how the offense funneled targets to those two options in particular, BTJ should see plenty of opportunity early in his rookie season. #NFLDraft2024 #DUUUVAL
