first rookie of 2025 to take down the weekly receiving leader.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, three of the five weeks the receiving leader has had single-digit targets and managed solid efficiency on deep passes compared to two weeks of volume compilers.<\/p>\n<p>It should be no surprise that we saw an uptick in 100-yard receiving games as overall passing increased.<\/p>\n<p>13 players reached the century receiving mark in Week 5, with several more less than a handful of yards away.<\/p>\n<p>The top-10 receiving leaders were all wide receivers, but <strong>Dalton<\/strong> <strong>Kincaid<\/strong> became the first tight end in three weeks to hit triple digit receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>In Week 4, running backs had a season high in positional target rate.<\/p>\n<p>In Week 5, tight ends hit a positional high mark at 23.1% of all targets.<\/p>\n<p>Wide receivers climbed a slight amount as running back targets dipped.<\/p>\n<p>In Week 5, wide receivers had 55.4% of all

Smith-Njigba<\/strong>, and there is no pushback from me on that.<\/p>\n<p>However, I\u2019m buying <strong>Brian Thomas Jr.<\/strong> as his stock is at its lowest.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the season, Thomas appeared to have some wrist issues and caught 28% of his targets in the first three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last two weeks, he has caught 69% of his targets.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas has had an increase in his air yards per target compared to last season, which increases some volatility.<\/p>\n<p>However, that is the exact recipe Egbuka had to lead all receivers last week.<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks secondary is decimated with injuries, providing Thomas with a great chance to build on the past couple of weeks in which he has had 39.5% of the Jaguars' air yards on 23.6% of the team's targets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brenton<\/strong> <strong>Strange<\/strong> has been placed on the injured reserve, removing the Jaguars' reception leader from the target tree.<\/p>\n<p>He will be replaced by <strong>Hunter<\/strong> <strong>Long<\/strong>, who is a better blocking tight end.<\/p>\n<p>As with <strong>Trevor<\/strong> <strong>Lawrence<\/strong> in this matchup at home against a West Coast team traveling to play in the early window, this is an if not now then when moment for Brian Thomas Jr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don't Miss Out on the Best Betting Recommendations
