Summary

Tight End Rank: #41
Overall: #261

Thomas had another productive season with the Saints, getting 30 or more receptions for the second straight season. Over the last two years, Thomas averages 33 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns. He does well in a reserve role at tight end for the Saints, a role he should continue to play in 2011. Thomas is a good athlete and solid route runner. He can make plays after the catch. But he isn't too big for a tight end, which hinders him some when he tries to get off the line and as a blocker. His size makes him a pretty good fit for the Saints' offense, though.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Thomas isn't likely to set career highs in 2011, but he can finish with similar numbers to the past two seasons. He is good for 30 catches for around 300 yards and a few scores. He might be worth a reserve spot in PPR leagues or as a No. 3 tight end in standard leagues.
