STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Thomas' role collapsed from WR19 to WR37 with screen rate plummeting to 1%.

Thomas' rookie-season role is long gone. His screen rate dropped from 11% to 1%, and his expected fantasy points dropped from WR19 to WR37 with Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange working the middle more often. He is still immensely talented and one of the best downfield receivers in the game, but consistency will not be there.
