According to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, free-agent tight end Logan Thomas agreed to a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old began his career by making stops in Buffalo and Detroit. However, he made a name for himself in Washington, where he amassed 184 grabs for 1,685 yards and 14 touchdowns in 52 appearances for the Commanders. While Thomas will be behind George Kittle (abdomen) on the depth chart, he could still get involved enough to warrant a spot on some fantasy rosters. Of course, Thomas' stock will rise higher during the season if Kittle goes down with an injury.
The Washington Commanders are releasing veteran tight end Logan Thomas, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. He was due $6.5 million this upcoming season, including a $500k roster bonus later this month. The converted college quarterback signed with the organization to play tight end in 2020, and he had a relatively successful run. Thomas caught 184 passes for 1,685 yards and 14 touchdowns in 52 games for the franchise, despite playing with several quarterbacks. The 32-year-old will likely draw some interest in free agency as a part-time of backup player. Meanwhile, Washington will likely look to replace him in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the season-closing blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Thomas had some bright spots this season and finished with his second-best single-season receiving total (496 yards), but he was mostly a non-factor in fantasy football. The 32-year-old is under contract with Washington next season, but the team can release him with just $1.75 million in dead cap. It will be interesting to see if he sticks around or if he becomes a free agent, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy upside anywhere he plays in 2024.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas is looking like a rough option in Week 18. This week, Washington will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this year. In their previous matchup during Week 12, Thomas had a mediocre performance with just two receptions for 15 yards. For the second half of the season, the veteran tight end hasn't been a player most want in their lineups, and his only substantial fantasy success has come when quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) operated the offense. Now, with Sam Howell manning the offense against a strong Dallas Cowboys team aiming to secure an NFC East title, Thomas offers little upside in this matchup.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught three of his four targets for just 20 yards in the team's 27-10 Week 17 loss to the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Thomas and the rest of the Commanders' offense weren't really able to get anything going in a bad matchup against one of the better defenses in the NFL. But it's been really hard to trust Thomas as anything more than a TE2 streamer in fantasy this year. The 32-year-old has managed to stay healthy, which is nice, but he has only 54 catches (76 targets) for 487 yards and four touchdowns in his 15 games played. He has exceeded 50 yards receiving just three times all year and not since he had 58 yards on five receptions in Week 11 against the New York Giants. At best, he'll be a low-end TE1 in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas looked like a decent streaming play this week after impressing with Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) at quarterback in Week 16. Unfortunately, his outlook now looks much worse with the recent news of Brissett being ruled questionable for Week 17 after suffering a reported hamstring injury during practice. If the journeyman is unable to play, Thomas is a much less appealing option with struggling quarterback Sam Howell running the offense against a menacing San Francisco 49ers defense. Monitor Brissett's status entering Week 17 if you're relying on Thomas as an option at tight end.
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught five of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. After three straight weeks of limited usage, the veteran tight end had a return to relevancy in Week 16. While leading Washington in receptions, Thomas also scored his first touchdown since Week 8. Although this was a nice outing for Thomas, he's still a hard name to trust in fantasy. With a Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Thomas is going to have to bring his best if he wants to put up a repeat performance.
After three straight rough weeks, Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas is no longer a decent streaming option for tight end needy rosters. In Week 16, the Commanders are taking on the New York Jets on the road. This season, the Jets have been one of the best pass defenses in the NFL, making this a bleak spot for the 32-year-old veteran. Considering his recent lack of opportunity coincided with a tough defensive matchup, Thomas is looking like a weak option in Week 16. For the fantasy playoffs, there are likely better options out there to rely on.
Logan Thomas Disappoints With One Catch In Week 15
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught one of his three targets for seven yards in the team's 28-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. On paper, it was a great matchup for Thomas. The Rams are one of the worst defenses against fantasy football tight ends but he was unable to get anything going with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett. The latter entered the game in the fourth quarter with the Commanders down multiple scores but his play only benefited Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel. It's hard to trust any receiving option in Washington as they travel to New York to face the Jets in Week 16.
Logan Thomas A Solid Streaming Candidate Against Rams
After a couple of disappointing weeks, Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas could be in line for a rebound in Week 15. This week, the Commanders are heading across the country to take on the Los Angeles Rams. While the Rams have shown flashes on defense, one of their main weaknesses has been defending the tight end position. This season, Los Angeles has allowed the second most fantasy points per game to tight ends. In the case of Thomas, this should benefit him considering the Commanders will probably stick to their pass-heavy play style while attempting to keep up with the Rams' strong offense. With a solid matchup, the veteran tight end is a solid streaming option in Week 15.
