STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

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

Thomas' rookie-season role is long gone; his screen rate dropped from 11% to 1%, and his expected fantasy points fell from WR19 to WR37 as Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange work the middle more often. Despite immense talent and elite downfield ability, consistency will not be there.
