The goofy run-pass split of Sunday's easy Jacksonville win over the Colts gave us little usable data on the Jaguars' passing game coming off the Week 7 bye. QB Trevor Lawrence attempted only 14 passes amid 18 dropbacks before giving way to Quinn Ewers late. The team ran 31 times en route to a 42-7 victory. WR Brian Thomas Jr. come off a Week 6 benching to managed just 1 catch among 2 targets. He ran a route on a mere 12 of the team's 23 dropbacks, but that trailed closely behind leaders Parker Washington (16) and Jakobi Meyers (15).
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
This game showed us basically nothing about the Jacksonville passing game. No Jag drew more than 3 targets or caught more than two balls. And only three Jacksonville players reached 2 catches.
Thomas' role did find him still clearly running third. He participated in just eight of 15 first-half pass plays, according to Pro Football Focus. Rookie WR Josh Cameron played just three.
Thomas logged a 12-yard TD on his lone reception.
Don't expect a return to fantasy relevance the rest of the way. We'll see if Jacksonville trades him elsewhere with more available opportunity.
