Brian Thomas Hype or Real? (1 Viewer)

[mogrod]

Hearing a lot about Brian Thomas Jr this week and even heard the guys on the FantasyPros podcast say they would trade Puka for him straight up. Is he for real and could be a real factor in fantasy this year, to the point you would also trade him one-for-one for Puka? Or, is this another example of one week rookie over hype?

Thanks

He looks good but the only way I would trade Puka for him is if Puka was definitely not coming back for a long time.

That's my thinking too so I was surprised both Joe Pisapia and Andrew Erickson said they would trade Puka for him, both with conviction. But, they both feel like this will be a lost season for Nacua and the speculation is he won't back until week 7 at least.
