His 86 receiving yards in Week 2 were more than a tenth of his career production over his first four seasons. Thornton has never shown the yards-after-the-catch elusiveness to have the value in the short passing game that the other wideouts bring. However, he is easily the Chiefs' most dependable deep threat since Tyreek Hill left after 2021. As Walker demands more defensive focus, Thornton should find more deep opportunities as he did on Sunday night.

Thornton's 86-yard Week 2 breakout showcases deep threat value; most reliable since Hill.

Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton produced 86 receiving yards in Week 2, more than a tenth of his career production over his first four seasons; the source notes Thornton lacks yards-after-the-catch elusiveness for short-game value but is the Chiefs' most dependable deep threat since Tyreek Hill left after 2021, and should find more deep opportunities as Kenneth Walker demands more defensive focus.
