Thomas is stuck in a genuinely muddled receiver room... he actually produced more with a backup quarterback under center than with his current starter, who has a track record of favoring his tight end and slot receiver over a true outside receiver.
STACKED’s take
Thomas faces muddled room, QB bias away from outside receivers, brutal early schedule.
Thomas is stuck in a genuinely muddled receiver room with one teammate coming on strong late last season, another projecting for a substantial role, and a two-way rookie wildcard further complicating the picture. Despite a strong rookie season, he actually produced more with a backup quarterback under center than with his current starter, who has a track record of favoring his tight end and slot receiver over a true outside receiver throughout his career. The one outside receiver to top 1,000 yards with this specific quarterback barely cleared that mark. There's real concern Thomas becomes a classic boom-or-bust deep threat who opens up the middle of the field for others without drawing enough consistent volume himself to trust weekly. His schedule compounds the issue, with his first seven opponents featuring a run of some of the best cornerbacks in the league, exactly the matchups an outside receiver can't easily avoid. He's a real candidate to be a name you fade in the draft and instead try to acquire cheaply midseason if his price craters against that brutal early slate.
