Summary

Running Back Rank: #34
Overall: #105

Thomas produced well at times his rookie season but took a backseat to Reggie Bush, who emerged as a legit No. 1 back for the Dolphins. Thomas still had double-digit carries all but four games he played. He even had a 100-yard game and topped 600 total yards for the season. He scored just a touchdown, though, and failed to have a rushing touchdown all season. Thomas could get a few more carries this season but likely plays behind Reggie Bush once again. Bush is an injury risk, though, so Thomas is a play away from taking over the starting job, a job he seems well suited. Thomas is a big back that runs well between the tackles and does a great job of churning out the tough yards. He has decent moves in the open field, but doesn't have top speed at running back. He isn't much of a home-run threat. Thomas helps in the passing game but more so as a blocker than a receiver.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

We expect a better season for Thomas, especially his touchdown totals. Bush isn't likely to repeat last season. Thomas is better suited as a starter in this league than Bush. But Thomas should still be considered a No. 3 back for fantasy teams. He might have higher potential than your usual No. 3 back, though. If he gets double-digit touches most weeks, Thomas can get around 1,000 total yards and eight or so touchdowns.

Notes

2012-04-24 22:13:09

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas appears to have added size to his upper body, and he has the look of a big, physical back in offseason voluntary workouts.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas could have a breakout season if he is able to stay healthy.

Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin said Wednesday, March 28, that RB Daniel Thomas was 'in great shape' when the two met a couple of weeks ago. 'He had a couple of nagging injuries from what I understand anyway,' Philbin said. 'Those have been rectified at this point in time and I'm excited about him. He's a big, different size player, big player.'

If Miami Dolphins second-year RB Daniel Thomas is able to blossom this season, the Dolphins will have an effective tandem in the backfield with Thomas and Reggie Bush, who returns as the team's starting tailback.

Fantasy Impact: We would expect Thomas to get more chances in 2012. He is their future at running back.

2012-01-01 17:33:19

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas rushed for 28 yards on 12 carries against the New York Jets in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact: Not a good showing in an expanded role for Thomas. He is no sure thing to be the starter in 2012.

2011-12-31 14:24:00

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas is expected to receive more carries in Week 17 because of the injury to RB Reggie Bush (knee). RBs Lex Hilliard and Steve Slaton are also expected to be more involved in the offense.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas has some potential in Week 17 in a starting role. He is worth using as a low-end No. 2 or flex option.

2011-12-30 14:43:11

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas (knee) practiced in full Friday, Dec. 30, and is probable for Week 17.

2011-11-24 20:13:10

Miami Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas carried six times for 25 yards in the Week 12 loss against the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, Nov. 24. Thomas also chipped in with a 2-yard reception on his only catch. Thomas still saw just seven total touches to 19 for starting RB Reggie Bush.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas is really playing second fiddle to Reggie Bush. He is getting his chances but not as many compared to Bush.
