2024: Thomas burst onto the scene as a rookie, piling up explosive plays and proving unstoppable for much of the season. Only Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase racked up more receiving yards than Thomas and a mere five receivers had a better yards per route. Thomas did much of his damage with Mac Jones at quarterback after Trevor Lawrence's season-ending injury.
What's changed: The Jaguars hired former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen as the team's head coach. They also took Travis Hunter in the first round of the 2025 draft and signed WR Dyami Brown, formerly of the Commanders.
2025 Outlook: Thomas has every chance to lead all receivers in fantasy points this season. Coen's offensive system should be a boon for everyone in the Jacksonville offense, including Thomas. Coen has said he'll use Thomas across the formation, keeping opposing secondaries guessing as to how Thomas will be deployed against them. If Lawrence improves in Coen's system, the sky is the limit for one of the most exciting wideouts in recent NFL history.

4 Steelers out with injuries vs Jaguars in preseason
The Pittsburgh Steelers are taking the opposite approach to this week's preseason game than their opponent. The Jacksonville Jaguars have said they are playing everyone while the Steelers seem content resting more than a dozen players in addition to having several players, including two starters, out with injuries. Head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media on Thursday and said that the following players will not play vs the Jaguars due to injuries. Edge defender - Alex Highsmith Wide receiver - Calvin Austin III Cornerback - Deonte Kent Cornerback - Cory Trice Jr. This means the Steelers won't dress five cornerbacks in total, with Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey all out as well. The absence of Highsmith, along with T.J. Watt sitting out should give plenty of opportunities for Nick Herbig and rookie Jack Sawyer. Since the Jaguars are playing their starters, it will be a great test for all these Steelers backups.
