Trevor Lawrence told reporters he and Brian Thomas have "taken a huge step" in their on-field chemistry with one another.

EDGE Analysis

Lawrence acknowledged there were times last season when he and Thomas "weren't on the same page." There have been trade rumors around Thomas this offseason, but it appears he will remain with Jacksonville. He caught 48 passes in 14 games last season, totaling 707 yards with two touchdowns. He'll be looking to bounce back this year.

Thomas has demonstrated increased chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence during spring practices, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said during OTAs the coaching staff is "trying to get a true connection" established between Thomas and Lawrence the tandem "didn't quite have last spring or training camp." Coen said he's been "very pleased" with how Thomas approached the offseason, while Lawrence said he and the wideout have "put a lot of work in throughout all spring really of just trying to get the timing down, the chemistry, [...] and it's starting to pay off." As a rookie, the 2024 first-rounder burst onto the scene with a 87-1,282-10 line, though much of that came with then-backup Mac Jones under center. Thomas then took a notable step back in 2025, tallying 48-707-2 across 14 regular-season appearances. If Thomas is indeed able to improve his rapport with Lawrence and clean up the issues with avoided contact and dropped passes that plagued him last year, he could still boast the highest upside of any of Jacksonville's pass catchers, though Coen's willingness to spread the ball around implies hefty target competition.

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.

EDGE 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 games, he regressed to a 48-707-2 line on 91 targets over 14 regular-season contests in 2025.

Thomas recorded three receptions on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

EDGE 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 that he's topped 40 receiving yards. It was a very disappointing sophomore campaign for Thomas, as he ended the regular season with 707 receiving yards and only two touchdowns across 14 games.

After being evaluated for a concussion, Thomas was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Good news for the Jaguars in Week 18, with the team headed to the postseason. Prior to leaving the contest, the wideout had caught one of his two targets for 22 yards.

Thomas is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE 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.

Thomas caught four of seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

EDGE 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 Titans.

Thomas recorded two receptions on three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.

EDGE 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.

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.

EDGE 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.

Thomas recorded three catches on six targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

EDGE 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 the Jets.
