Brian Thomas Jr. fantasy injury tip: Jaguars WR news helps Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers image

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be worse off at wide receiver.

If they hadn't pulled off a deal before the NFL trade deadline to pick up Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders, the Week 10 outlook would be even worse.

But it's not ideal.

Travis Hunter was already known to be out.

Now, Brian Thomas Jr. Has been ruled out, too, as of Friday afternoon.

That leaves a secondary group to catch passes from Trevor Lawrence on Sunday as the 5-3 Jags take on the 3-5 Texans.

Brian Thomas Jr. Fantasy injury tip

The easiest way to replace Thomas on your fantasy team is to pick up Parker Washington, if available.

Washington had six catches in Week 9 playing alongside Thomas, which was before the arrival of Meyers.

It's hard to know how quickly Meyers will have a role. He'll definitely be on the field in Week 10, but will he get a full allotment of snaps as he learns the plays and his teammates?

Washington is the safe bet to lead the Jaguars in targets. If you're looking for a replacement on the Jags, he's your guy.

Other possible pickup options include Christian Watson, Tez Johnson, Malik Washington and Calvin Austin.
