Tyquan Thornton

New England Patriots third-year WR Tyquan Thornton has struggled to show consistency during the offseason's workouts, especially during minicamp.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton, who was touted for his explosiveness heading into the NFL, has yet to show he can round out his game. According to Dakota Randall of Pro Football Network, he flashed early in OTAs but slowed down, struggling on Day 1 of minicamp before missing Day 2. Thornton is entering Year 3, and with the Patriots having a deep rotation of players trying to earn a roster spot this year, he could be facing a further potential slide.

Tyquan Thornton caught 3-of-3 targets for 24 yards in the Patriots’ 27-21 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton continues to to see limited targets in the Patriots’ offense. Fantasy managers can comfortably leave the 23-year-old out of their lineups for a Week 18 matchup with the Jets.

Tyquan Thornton rushed once for nine yards while also catching his lone target for 11 yards in the Patriots' 26-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Thornton has struggled to remain consistently involved in the New England offense of late, finishing with less than two targets in three of his last five games for the Patriots. The pass-catcher is best kept out of lineups in all formats ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact

The Patriots may be without Thornton on Sunday as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury that he recently suffered. He has yet to have a game with over 20 receiving yards this year, so he is off of the fantasy radar for now and his possible absence won't carry any major implications for fantasy purposes.

Tyquan Thornton caught three of his five targets for 17 yards in a 21-18 win over the Steelers in Week 14's Thursday night game.

Fantasy Impact

Thanks to a multitude of injuries to the Patriots' wide receiver corps, Thornton has been playing more in recent weeks, although it hasn't translated to on-field production. Thornton's three catches on Thursday night go down as a season-high. He will now have extra time to rest up ahead of a Week 15 matchup against the Chiefs.
