Summary

Tight End Rank: #60All Players: #390

Thomas had a limited role in a reserve role for the Saints last season, catching 11 passes for 86 yards in 15 games. The positive for Thomas was he scored four touchdowns on those 11 receptions. His touchdown total was a career high. But Thomas has just 16 receptions the last two seasons, which isn't a great sign for his career. Thomas will challenge for a reserve spot this season. He has two seasons with 30 or more receptions but 11 or fewer receptions his other five seasons in the league. 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.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Thomas can help NFL teams in a reserve role but isn't a help to fantasy teams at this stage. He won't get enough consistent work to be fantasy relevant. It would be a stretch to see him reach four touchdowns once again.
