Julius Thomas News
The Miami Dolphins are officially releasing tight end Julius Thomas on Wednesday, according to a league source. Thomas failed to impress in his lone season with the Fish in 2017, catching 41 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Since back-to-back 12 touchdown campaigns with Denver in 2013-14, Thomas has done very little for fantasy owners. Another change of scenery could help, but we're not holding our breath. As of now, Anthony Fasano headlines the team's tight end depth chart.
The Miami Dolphins plan to cut tight end Julius Thomas by March 14, which will save $6.6 million in salary cap space. The team will also cut linebacker Lawrence Timmons by March 14, saving them $5.4 million. With all of their expected cuts, they are expected to be around $11 million under the salary cap limit, which isn't much. They will have the least cap space in the AFC East. In his first and only season in Miami, Thomas disappointed with 41 catches for 388 yards and three touchdowns. He hasn't been productive in the NFL since back-to-back seasons of 12 touchdowns with Denver in 2013 and 2014, and he's unlikely to move the fantasy needle wherever he lands in free agency in 2018.
The Miami Dolphins placed tight end Julius Thomas (foot) and offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod (foot) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending their seasons. Tight end Thomas Duarte and offensive tackle Eric Smith were activated off IR in corresponding moves. Hailed as a bounce-back candidate in training camp, Thomas floundered with another team in 2017, catching just 41 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns for Miami. There's a good chance he'll be released in the offseason. With Thomas out the last two games, Anthony Fasano will likely be the main tight end, but he can be ignored for fantasy purposes. Receivers Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills may see an increase in targets to close out the year.
