Could play Monday
Thomas (hamstring) went through position drills Friday and appears to have a shot to play in Monday's game against Seattle, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Thomas may have done more than just position drills, but that's what reporters saw during the media-access portion of Friday's session. The tight end was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening a 21-day window where he can be either activated to the roster or sent back to IR for the rest of the season. Thomas doesn't appear in danger of the second outcome, and it even looks like he may return before No. 2 tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (hip). With both players out last week,…read more

Gets green light for practice
Washington designated Thomas (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas appeared close to rejoining his healthy teammates for practice both of the past two weeks, but he was relegated to working out on a side field after Washington elected to delay opening up his 21-day evaluation window. The Football Team seemingly believes Thomas is now ready to take the next step forward in his recovery from a right hamstring injury, and if he fares well in his return to practice this week, he could be an option to play Monday against the Seahawks. Ricky Seals-Jones (hip)…read more

Expected to resume practicing
Thomas (hamstring) is expected to be designated for a return from injured reserve during Week 12 prep, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas hasn't yet been fully cleared, but his 21-day window to resume practicing is expected to open this week. The 30-year-old has been on IR since Oct. 6, and in early November he was spotted doing some work on a side field. With Ricky Seals-Jones (leg) injured and having missed Week 11, it would be a notable boon for Washington if Thomas is able to return in time to face the Seahawks on Nov. 29.

Not yet back on field
Thomas (hamstring) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Prior to Wednesday's practice, Washington announced that reserve cornerback Darryl Roberts (quadriceps) had been designated to return from injured reserve. However, there was no such announcement for Thomas, who has been on IR since Oct. 6 but was spotted last week doing some work on a side field. He still hasn't been cleared for practice, and with fellow tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) now injured, Washington may be down to John Bates, Sammis Reyes and a practice-squad promotion as its…read more

Works off to side Thursday
Thomas (hamstring) was spotted working off to the side during Thursday's practice, but Washington has yet to designate him for return from injured reserve, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Until Washington designates him for return, Thomas won't be eligible to formally join the Football Team for practice. Given that Thomas has been sidelined since Oct. 3 with the sore right hamstring, Washington will almost certainly want Thomas to get a full week of practice in before deeming him ready for game action. With that in mind, Thomas can likely be ruled out from coming off IR ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, though a return Week 11 against Carolina could still be realistic.

Still has sore hamstring
Thomas' hamstring remained sore following Monday's workout, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Monday's test was intended to gauge the state of Thomas' health, and he doesn't seem to be ready just yet to come back to the active roster. He can't officially take part in practice until Washington designates him to return from injured reserve, so he was contained to activity on a side field Wednesday. Head coach Ron Rivera further relayed Thomas will continue to be monitored as the week goes on, and the tight end's status will be determined by Friday. If Thomas isn't able to suit up Sunday…read more

Limited to side work
Thomas (hamstring) is working on a side field Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: The activity represents a sign of progress for Thomas following three missed games and a Week 9 bye, but he still hasn't returned to practice and thus remains uncertain to play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. A report last week suggested Thomas would be designated to return from injured reserve soon, which will open his 21-day window to begin practicing and potentially rejoin the active roster. Ricky Seals-Jones has been filling in at tight end in an every-down role throughout Thomas'…read more

Tests hamstring Monday
Thomas tested his hamstring injury Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thomas' practice window is expected to open this week. Assuming he feels good Tuesday, the 30-year-old likely will rejoin his teammates for practice Wednesday. If Washington designates Thomas to return from IR on Wednesday, he'll have a chance to suit up for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Practice window to open next week
Thomas (hamstring) will have his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened next week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas hurt his right hamstring Week 4 in Atlanta and has missed the past four games. Washington opted not to bring him back to the active roster prior to its Week 9 bye, but he seemingly will make his presence felt at practice again once the team reconvenes next week. Thomas' next chance to play arrives Sunday, Nov. 14 against the Buccaneers.

Spotted on side field
Thomas (hamstring) was seen working out on a side field during Monday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's a sign of progress, though it doesn't necessarily mean Thomas is ready for a return to practice. Thomas has already spent the three-game minimum on injured reserve, and while he's technically eligible to return for Sunday's game against Denver, head coach Ron Rivera doesn't seem optimistic. Rivera used the term "week-to-week" to describe Thomas as recently as Monday, hinting that the tight end is unlikely to return before the Week 9 bye.

Still considered week-to-week
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Thomas (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thomas is eligible to return to game action as early as Sunday against Denver because he's spent the last three weeks on injured reserve. However, it doesn't sound as though the 30-year-old's return is imminent. A better idea of Thomas' status should come into focus based on his status in practice this week, but Ricky Seals-Jones should continue to handle an increased workload Sunday if the 2014 fourth-rounder is unable to suit up.

Placed on IR
Washington placed Thomas (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: He's ineligible for the next three games, with Week 8 at Denver being the earliest possible date a for a return. Thomas injured his hamstring in the opening minutes of Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons, with his absence thereafter allowing backup Ricky Seals-Jones to play a career-high 62 snaps (93 percent share). Seals-Jones caught only two passes for 29 yards on four targets, and it's possible moving forward that he loses some playing time to youngsters John Bates and Sammis Reyes, or…read more

Not at practice
Thomas (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Thomas' absence was fully expected, given that he's reportedly viewed as week-to-week after exiting Sunday's win over Atlanta in the first quarter. Ricky Seals-Jones filled in for Thomas as Washington's primary tight end but caught just two of four targets for 29 yards. Thomas is looking doubtful for the Football Team's Week 5 game against New Orleans.

Considered week-to-week
Thomas (hamstring) is considered week-to-week after he left Sunday's win over the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Thomas was unable to return to Sunday's Week 4 matchup after exiting the game in the first quarter. His status for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Saints depends on his participation in practice this week, but Ricky Seals-Jones and John Bates are in line for increased roles if the 30-year-old is forced to miss additional time.

Ruled out of Sunday's game
Thomas (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's contest in Atlanta.
Analysis: Thomas was visibly frustrated when he left the game in the first quarter. After having his right leg examined in the sideline medical tent, Washington has opted to shut him down for the rest of Week 4. In Thomas' stead, the team will turn to Ricky Seals-Jones and rookie John Bates at tight end.

Thomas left Sunday's game in Atlanta with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Thomas limped to the sideline in the first quarter and had his right leg examined by team trainers before paying a visit to the blue medical tent, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. As long as Thomas is out of the contest, Washington will have Ricky Seals-Jones and rookie fourth-rounder John Bates at tight end.

Gets into end zone late
Thomas brought in all four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Washington's 43-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Thomas co-led the team in receptions alongside Terry McLaurin and took his fantasy performance up a notch with a garbage-time two-yard touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end thus far has shown solid chemistry with Taylor Heinicke through the signal-caller's two-plus games under center, and he's produced a 9-87 line with Sunday's score over the last two games. Thomas will look to continue ascending in a Week 4 matchup versus the Falcons on the road.

Five-catch effort in win
Thomas brought in five of seven targets for 45 yards in Washington's 30-29 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Thomas checked in third on the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets during the wild win, marking a second straight serviceable performance to open the season. Thomas had accounted for a touchdown on three catches in Washington's season-opening loss to the Chargers, and with a relatively inexperienced quarterback in Taylor Heinicke manning the controls of the offense for at least the next several games, the sure-handed tight end should continue to see his fair share of opportunities.

Scores touchdown in loss
Thomas caught all three of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Washington as a whole mustered just 133 passing yards, with Thomas scoring the team's only touchdown on the day. The veteran tight end finished second in yardage and third in targets, but given the mundane offensive figures as a whole it's hard to really gauge where Thomas fits into the gameplan for future weeks. Ryan Fitzpatrick left Sunday's game early with a hip injury, which could mean Taylor Heinicke will be forced into action for future weeks, complicating the target share even further.

Catches pass for 28 yards
Thomas caught one of two targets for 28 yards in Friday's 17-13 preseason win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The tight end took a short pass for 28 yards on the first snap of the game, with his second target being a third-down incompletion to end the opening drive. Signed to a three-year extension earlier this summer, the late-blooming Thomas enters his age-30 season locked in as Washington's starting tight end. He may even handle a three-down role again, though a repeat of last year's target total (110) seems unlikely after the team bolstered its WR room this offseason. Thomas will open his season…read more

Inks long-term deal
Thomas is signing a three-year extension with Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The two-year, $6.15 million contract Thomas signed last offseason ended up being a bargain for Washington, as the tight end entered the year with 317 career receiving yards before catching 72 passes for 670 yards and six touchdowns. Thomas did it on the strength of volume, with 110 targets in 16 games, but he also improved his efficiency after a rough start, producing 3.3 YPT in Weeks 1-5 and 7.2 YPT in Weeks 6-17. He averaged 5.3 catches for 51.3 yards over those final 11 games, then added…read more

Expects continued development
Thomas said earlier this month that he believes he'll continue to improve as he prepares for his fifth season of playing tight end, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The former college quarterback broke out for a 72-670-6 receiving line in his age-29 season after signing last offseason with a Washington team that had minimal talent at tight end. The team's offense has stiffer competition for targets this year, but Thomas' starting job appears secure, and it's reasonable to expect continued development given that he didn't start playing at tight end until 2017. This will also be the first time he's played in the same offensive scheme in back-to-back seasons,…read more

Solid showing in wild-card loss
Thomas brought in five of nine targets for 74 yards in Washington's 31-23 wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran tight end followed up a career-best regular season with a strong showing in the season-ending loss, checking in third in receptions and receiving yards and second in targets. Thomas totaled between 63 and 101 receiving yards in four of his last six games including Saturday's contest, and he'll look to improve on 2020's 72-670-6 regular-season line during his 2021 contract year.

Finishes regular season with TD
Thomas had three receptions (six targets) for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Thomas was able to hit pay dirt to salvage what would have been a lackluster finale to the regular season. The tight end saw his targets come back down to earth with the return of Alex Smith (six compared to 27 over the previous two weeks), but a trip to the end zone makes up for the dip in volume. The 28-year-old has handled his first full year of significant action well, posting 72 receptions, 670 yards and six scores as Washington's primary tight end this year. Thomas has put himself on the…read more

Records seven receptions
Thomas recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 63 yards in Week 16 against the Panthers.
Analysis: Thomas struggled to get going with Dwayne Haskins under center but showed good rapport with Taylor Heinicke late in the fourth quarter. After struggling to 15 yards with Haskins, Thomas recorded big gains of 19 and 12 yards with Heinicke under center. Thomas narrowly missed an even bigger performance, as he appeared to score a 10-yard touchdown that was nullified by a holding penalty. Nearing the end of a breakout campaign, Thomas will look to end the season strong in Week 17 against the Eagles.

Career-best catch haul in loss
Thomas secured 13 of 15 targets for 101 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas' eye-popping numbers were surprising to say the least, considering the 29-year-old nearly outpaced his single-season high of 16 receptions (2019) on Sunday alone. However, he fell just two yards short of the century mark two games ago against the Steelers, so the yardage tally wasn't anywhere near as unexpected. Thomas now has 31 targets over the last three contests, and he'll look to continue his chemistry with either Alex Smith (calf) or Dwayne Haskins in a Week 16 matchup against the…read more

Makes six catches in win
Thomas caught six of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Thomas led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, though his average of 7.2 yards per catch was nothing to write home about. It did, however, continue a recent run of production that has seen Thomas make 19 catches for 161 yards and two touchdowns over the last three games. He's become a key cog in the offense of late and will look to maintain that role next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Career-best showing versus Steelers
Thomas caught all nine of his targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-17 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Thomas set a new career high in receptions, hauling in everything thrown his way. Of course, the tight end's most impactful play was his 15-yard touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter. With a score in consecutive games now, Thomas is certainly trending in the right direction ahead of Week 14's matchup against the 49ers.

Grabs fourth TD in Dallas
Thomas caught all four of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: While he wasn't exactly stretching the field, Thomas was on the other end of Alex Smith's only TD pass of the afternoon, a five-yard strike late in the second quarter that put Washington up for good. The tight end has caught multiple passes in six straight games, hauling in three of his four touchdowns on the season during that stretch, but he faces a tough test in Week 13 on the road against the undefeated Steelers.

Shut down by Bengals
Thomas caught two of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals, adding one rush attempt for another two yards.
Analysis: Thomas played 90 percent of offensive snaps and saw the second-most targets on the team during a game in which Alex Smith threw only 25 passes. Thomas will have a decent shot to bounce back in Week 12, facing a Dallas defense that he burnt for a 4-60-1 receiving line in the first 2020 matchup (Week 7) between the NFC East rivals.

Season high in receiving yards
Thomas caught four of six targets for 66 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Thomas set a new season high in receiving yards while tying his high mark for receptions. He tied for third on the team in targets and did most of his damage late in the game as his team strung together three straight scoring drives to draw even. Thomas now has 14 receptions on 20 targets over the last four games and will look to continue his steady emergence in a favorable matchup against the Bengals next Sunday.

Limited to 28 yards
Thomas caught three of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: The six targets were third most on the team, and the most Thomas has seen since Week 3. He played every single snap on offense for the first time this season, though he came pretty close a few other times. Even with the three-down role, Thomas is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, playing in a subpar offense with a revolving door at quarterback. He'll catch passes from Alex Smith when Washington travels to Detroit for Week 10.

Analysis: Coming off Washington's bye week, Thomas' ability to practice is a decent sign that he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Giants. Still, his status should be watched closely over the next few days to ensure he can take on his usual share of the reps at tight end. Thomas has played at least 74 percent of the offensive snaps in each of Washington's first seven games.

Thomas caught all four of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Thomas finished second on the team in most major receiving categories and scored an impressive 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter. This was Thomas' second straight game with a touchdown, while he set a new season high in yardage and tied his best output of four receptions.

Gets into end zone Sunday
Thomas brought in three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Washington Football Team's 20-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: The journeyman tight end finally scored again after a four-game drought, making an impressive contested catch in the left corner of the end zone late in the first half. Thomas' yardage tally, modest as it was, qualified as a season high, and Sunday marked his first game with multiple receptions since Week 3.

Thomas caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The switch to Kyle Allen (arm) at quarterback didn't help Thomas, nor did it help any of the Washington pass catchers. Allen actually played decently in the first half, but he left the game with an arm injury and never returned after the break.

Catches only one pass
Thomas played 93 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Baltimore, but he was limited to one catch for eight yards on four targets.
Analysis: The snap share actually was a season high, though not much of a difference from Week 2 (91 percent) or Week 3 (86 percent). His receiving stats, on the other hand, were season lows across the board, with Thomas falling shy of seven targets and four catches for the first time this year. It does make sense that QB Dwayne Haskins would start to look toward other players, as his connection with Thomas hasn't been especially strong.

Held to 31 yards
Thomas caught four of seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns, playing 85 percent of snaps on offense.
Analysis: Thomas has finished first or second on the team in targets in every game this season, but it hasn't translated to consistent production, as he's now on pace for a 64-501-5 receiving line on 128 targets. If nothing else, his catch rate should improve as the year moves along, though efficient production may be too much to ask for in an offense with Dwayne Haskins at quarterback. Thomas is tied for the second-most targets (24) among tight ends, so he's at least on the map as a low-end fantasy…read more

Does little with high volume
Thomas caught four of nine targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Dwayne Haskins again looked for his tight end often but wasn't quite on the same page as Thomas, and the duo's longest connection went for only 10 yards. It's still encouraging that Thomas has seen 17 targets through two games, and he could find success in Week 3 against a Browns defense that just let C.J. Uzomah (Achilles) and Drew Sample combine for 11 catches, 87 yards and a TD.

Thomas caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown on a team-high eight targets in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Jeremy Sprinkle technically got the start at tight end, but he was limited to 40 percent of offensive snaps and zero targets, while Thomas was on the field for 74 percent of plays. Given his solid performance, Thomas figures to continue in his role as Washington's top pass-catching TE for Week 2 at Arizona, though he isn't a great bet to lead the team in targets again.

Sitting atop depth chart
Thomas is listed as a starter on Washington's initial 2020 depth chart.
Analysis: This was fully expected after multiple reports out of training camp relayed that Thomas received most of the first-team snaps. He won't necessarily have a three-down role, but the 29-year-old does figure to see more targets than Jeremy Sprinkle and Marcus Baugh, potentially setting up a rare late-20s breakout. It wouldn't necessarily be the type of breakout that leads to mainstream fantasy value, but Thomas does have a good chance to set career highs in every major receiving category.

Running with starters
Thomas was the most heavily targeted player on the first-team offense at Tuesday's practice, coming away with five catches and a touchdown, Kyle Stackpole of the official team website reports.
Analysis: Thomas has built up some hype throughout training camp, with Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post supporting the notion of the 29-year-old emerging as Washington's top tight end. A two-year, $6.15 million contract may seem modest, but it's a big investment relative to what the team spent on Jeremy Sprinkle (2017 fifth-round pick), Richard Rodgers (veteran minimum contract), Hale Hentges (UDFA) and Marcus Baugh (UDFA). It seems the Washington front office saw potential in the former QB last…read more

Working with pass catchers
Thomas and Marcus Baugh worked with pass catchers during individual drills at Thursday's practice, while the other Washington tight ends were put in blocking drills, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Signed to a two-year, $6.2 million contract this offseason, Thomas is gearing up for a significant role in the Washington offense, perhaps becoming a starter for the first time in his age-29 season. That said, he won't necessarily handle a three-down role, and his new team is a good bet to land near the bottom of the league in cumulative TE targets. Thomas is an easy choice for fantasy managers interested in a Washington tight end, but in most cases the better option is to avoid the mess…read more

Removed from COVID list
The Washington Football Team activated Thomas (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
Analysis: When Thomas signed on the dotted line back in March, he joined a team devoid of depth at tight end, with Jordan Reed moving on after frequent concussions and Vernon Davis opting to retire. Aside from Thomas, the group currently includes Jeremy Sprinkle, Richard Rodgers and undrafted rookie Thaddeus Moss (foot), among others. That said, Thomas' start to camp was delayed due to his stay on the COVID list. Now cleared for action, he's coming off a 2019 campaign with the Lions in which he posted a…read more

Placed on COVID-19 list
Thomas was placed on Washington's reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas' placement on the list doesn't necessarily indicate that he has COVID-19, as the list was created by the league for players who either test positive for COVID-19 or who have been been in close contact with an infected person or persons. The 29-year-old is slated to compete for Washington's starting job at tight end.

Eyeing top spot
Thomas has a good chance to win Washington's starting job at tight end, according to Kyle Stackpole of the team's official web site.
Analysis: The Virginia Tech quarterback turned 2014 fourth-round pick has drifted around the NFL as a backup tight end, with last season's 16-173-1 receiving line in Detroit representing a career-best performance. It may not sound like much, but Washington saw enough to give Thomas a two-year, $6.15 million contract, which is the largest commitment to any player in a tight-end room full of journeymen and undrafted youngsters. Coach Ron Rivera compared Thomas to Greg Olsen in terms of athleticism, and…read more

Gets opportunity in Washington
Thomas is signing with Washington, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thomas will have a nice opportunity to earn playing time in Washington, where both Jordan Reed (free agent) and Vernon Davis (retired) have exited the picture at tight end. The team finished out 2019 with Jeremy Sprinkle and Hale Hentges atop its depth chart, while Thomas served as the No. 2 tight end in Detroit after T.J. Hockenson suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Thomas played quarterback at Virginia Tech from 2010 to 2013, so he's arguably still a work in progress as he prepares for…read more

Career highs across the board
Thomas, who caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's finale against Green Bay, finished the 2019 season with 16 catches (28 targets) for 173 yards and one touchdown in 16 games.
Analysis: While Thomas has had a slow but steady transition from quarterback to tight end over the past few years, he modestly set career marks across the board in 2019. Some of that may be due to T.J. Hockenson (ankle) missing time, but in any case, Thomas at least showed himself to be a serviceable depth option who can catch a few passes when called upon. It remains to be seen if any team around the league will reward Thomas this offseason for his development, as the 28-year-old is set to be an…read more

Fifth multi-catch game of season
Thomas caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Thomas has seen a handful of targets each of the past few games with David Blough at quarterback, but the thrower's limitations have significantly capped the upside of all players in this offense. While Thomas wasn't a huge fantasy threat anyway, there's even less of a reason to trust a Lions tight end in fantasy without Matthew Stafford (back) steering the ship.

No catches on four targets
Thomas failed to catch any of his four targets during Sunday's 38-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Thomas shared starting honors with Jesse James and actually wound up as the position leader in offensive snaps by a slim margin. However, Thomas wasn't able to bring down any of the passes that were sent his way, and he consequently laid his sixth goose egg in 15 games. Despite the increase in playing time he's experiencing in T.J. Hockenson's (ankle) absence, it's not reasonable to expect a whole lot from the tight end as long as he's catching passes from a backup-caliber quarterback in David…read more

New season high in targets
Thomas caught two of four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 20-7 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Despite T.J. Hockenson (ankle) going on injured reserve, Thomas wasn't in the starting lineup with Jesse James. However, he ultimately saw 40 offensive snaps and a season-high four targets compared to 38 and two, respectively, for James, so initially it's looking like Thomas, rather unsurprisingly, will be the bigger beneficiary of Hockenson's absence down the stretch. While Thomas has yet to top three catches or 25 receiving yards this season, he's only seen more than 20 offensive snaps on…read more

No targets on Thanksgiving
Thomas was not targeted in the passing game during Thursday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: After Thomas logged a season-high 28 offensive snaps last week, it seemed like his role was expanding in the Lions offense. However, the banged-up T.J. Hockenson (shoulder/leg) commanded 11 targets from new quarterback David Blough on Thursday -- compared to zero for Thomas and Jesse James combined -- which, coupled with the dip in playing time, suggests otherwise. Thomas at least has the kind of receiving upside that James does not, but it will still be difficult to trust Thomas as anything…read more

First touchdown in Lions uniform
Thomas caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.
Analysis: With usual starter T.J. Hockenson nursing a shoulder injury, Thomas logged a season-high 28 offensive snaps en route to his second career touchdown. While No. 2 tight end Jesse James (32 snaps) logged more playing time, Thomas is the more polished receiver and is clearly the better bet for production. Unfortunately, the continued absence of Matthew Stafford (back) for Thursday's game against the Bears all but limits Thomas' upside to that of what he did this past weekend in Washington.

Sees more playing time than James
Thomas was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Despite not making a dent in the stat sheet, it was a significant day for Thomas considering he saw more offensive snaps (22) than Jesse James (15) did. It's possible Thomas could be playing more thanks to his receiving skills in a post-Kerryon Johnson (knee) offense that can't establish the run, but in case that's not the explanation, it'll be interesting to see how an upturn in playing time could translate to his fantasy production, particularly whenever Matthew Stafford (back) is back in…read more

Makes two catches
Thomas caught both of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: The gap between Thomas (18 snaps) and No. 2 tight end Jesse James (28) was greater than it was last week when Thomas only saw one fewer snap, but Thomas was yet again the more impactful receiver of the two. The issue is that Thomas probably won't ever handle a large enough workload to be of fantasy relevance as long as T.J. Hockenson remains healthy.

Similarly involved as James
Thomas caught one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Thomas saw the line between the No. 2 and 3 tight end blur as much as it ever has Sunday when he logged 19 offensive snaps compared to 20 for Jesse James. Rookie T.J. Hockenson of course led the way with 46, but it's possible a change in offensive approach could be taking place without RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) around, as James has now set season lows in playing time in three consecutive weeks. It's also possible that James could be back to the clear No. 2 this time next week if it turns out…read more
