Roc Thomas Fantasy Stats

The Jacksonville Jaguars have put running back Roc Thomas on the waivers/injury list. Thomas, who had just joined the team last week, will be eligible to be placed on Jacksonville's injured reserve if he clears waivers. Thomas is suspended for the first three games of the regular season, so the Jaguars signing him in the first place was a bit of a surprise. Thomas has no re-draft value at this junction, but if he sticks with the Jaguars there may be a path to snaps at some point down the line.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas. Thomas will serve a three-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy to open the season, so Jacksonville signing him while that looms over his head suggests that the team sees him as an actual piece for the team and not someone who'll just be a camp body. Thomas would slot in as the fourth back on the team, which would likely lead to Thomas Rawls losing his spot on the roster.

The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with running back Roc Thomas, who was set to miss the first three games of the season after being suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The move isn't a huge surprise, though Minnesota is now fairly shallow at running back beyond Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison. Thomas had just 10 touches as a rookie, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him not make it onto a roster this season, especially with that looming suspension.

Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas has been suspended three games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Thomas had just eight carries during his rookie season and is buried behind Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison on the team's depth chart, so the suspension doesn't really mean much for his already nonexistent fantasy stock. Thomas remains at best the team's third back and at worse a preseason roster cut, though in that scenario the suspension will make it harder for me to latch onto another team's roster.

Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas was sentenced to three years of probation after he pleaded guilty to a felony marijuana possession charge from a January arrest. He will be required to undergo random testing and a chemical-dependency evaluation as part of his probation. Thomas could also face additional discipline from the NFL in the form of a suspension. Thomas was active for only five games in 2018 and will battle Mike Boone for the third spot on the depth chart behind Dalvin Cook and third-round pick Alexander Mattison. You can ignore the 23-year-old in fantasy drafts.

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Roc Thomas (hamstring) and linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 9 against the Lions. Thomas' role will take a hit with Dalvin Cook (hamstring) likely returning for a full-time role after the team's Week 10 bye. With cornerback Xavier Rhodes (foot) and safety Andrew Sendejo (groin) also questionable on defense, the Minnesota D could be short-handed once again against Detroit.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) and rookie running back Roc Thomas (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. While Diggs says he expects to play in Week 9 against the Lions, his status is a real concern going into Friday. He's looking like a low-end WR2 as of right now. If he can't play, it'd mean more targets for Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell and tight end Kyle Rudolph. Thomas also doesn't look likely to play on Sunday, although the Vikes could receive a boost in the backfield if Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is able to return for the first time in over a month.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (undisclosed) and rookie running back Roc Thomas both missed practice on Wednesday. Diggs' status is worth watching after he suffered an undisclosed injury late in the Sunday night game. Despite the injury, it was a bounce-back game for Diggs, but losing him for any stretch of time could be disastrous for both the Vikings and fantasy owners. Laquon Treadwell and tight end Kyle Rudolph could benefit the most if Diggs were to miss any time. Thomas has been serving as the backup to Latavius Murray, but he'll go back to being the third option in the backfield when Dalvin Cook (hamstring) returns.

Minnesota Vikings rookie running backs Roc Thomas (ankle) and Mike Boone are inactive in Week 2 against the Packers. That means that only Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray will be active in the backfield against Green Bay. Thomas has yet to be active in his rookie season.

Minnesota Vikings rookie running backs Roc Thomas and Mike Boone are inactive for Week 1 against the 49ers. Cornerback Mackensie Alexander is also out with an injury. The Vikings will go with only Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray in their backfield for the season opener. With slot corner Alexander out, expect rookie Mike Hughes to man the slot against San Fran.
