Jaguars WR depth chart
| Starter | 2nd |
| Brian Thomas Jr. | Tim Patrick |
| Jakobi Meyers | Tim Jones |
| Parker Washington | Dyami Brown (O) |
Brian Thomas Jr.
Thomas was drafted by the Jaguars in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Before this, Thomas attended LSU, where he was teammates with other NFL stars such as Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers.
In his rookie campaign, Thomas had an extraordinary showing by putting up 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. He and Lawrence had a real connection as he was targeted a whopping 133 times during the 2024 season. Thomas's sophomore year has been quite the disappointment, as he regressed in every major statistical category.
Jakobi Meyers
Meyers is in his eighth year in the NFL after being an undrafted free agent in 2019. He signed with the New England Patriots, where he played for four seasons before joining the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023. Meyers played for the Raiders for three seasons before being traded to the Jaguars ahead of the 2025 trade deadline. Since being on the Jags, he's put up an impressive 483 yards and three touchdowns in only nine games.
Parker Washington
The third-year wide receiver out of Penn State had a career-best season with the Jaguars. In fact, Washington had a career-high in every single receiving stat, and nearly doubled up his stats from the previous two seasons.
Tim Patrick
Patrick is a sixth-year wide receiver out of Utah. He spent his first four seasons in Denver, playing 55 games as a Bronco. Patrick then spent one season in Detroit before heading to Jacksonville. Though playing all 16 games, this season was one of the worst of Patrick's career.
Tim Jones
Jones is a fourth-year wide receiver out of Southern Miss. He's been with the Jaguars since entering the NFL, but only played two games this season and logged just one reception.
Dyami Brown
Brown is the fifth-year wide receiver out of North Carolina. He was drafted by the Washington Commanders back in the 2021 NFL Draft, where he spent the first four seasons of his career. Brown was having a season in which he was sure to set career-highs, until he suffered a shoulder injury and eventually became a healthy scratch by Week 13.
