Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Profile: Brian Thomas, WR LSU
Wide receiver is seen as the top position in this upcoming NFL Draft. There is a top three but there is discussion about who is next after Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze. In my opinion, the next best receiver is Brian Thomas, Nabers' teammate out of LSU.
He ran fast at the combine, and you could see that speed on tape. He only had one big year of production but that was while sharing the spotlight with Nabers. Let’s look at this profile.
The Stats
Thomas was a top 70 player coming out of Louisiana in 2021 and decided to commit to LSU over other SEC powerhouses Alabama and Auburn. He had minimal production in his first two years but blew up in year three.

Before 2023, Thomas had not gone over 400 receiving yards. In 2023 he was able to double his career production in yards and touchdowns. His average of over 17 yards per catch showed what a big playmaker he was for LSU.
