From the episode

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Thomas is a sell due to a brutal opening schedule against elite corners.

Thomas is a sell candidate due to a brutal opening schedule. He faces a gauntlet of elite perimeter cornerbacks including Denzel Ward, Patrick Surtain, Christian Gonzalez, and Sauce Gardner. While he may have spiked weeks, his value is likely to be lower in a month or two, making him a candidate to trade away now.
