Solomon Thomas Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Solomon Thomas (knee) was confirmed to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 2 win over the Jets. The season got off to a bad start for Thomas when the Niners declined the 25-year-old's fifth-year option, and things just got a lot worse. The Stanford product hasn't lived up to his draft stock as a third-round pick in 2017. The 49ers had the worst luck of any team in the injury department in a Week 2 full of devastating season-ending injuries. All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa also tore his ACL, ending his 2020 campaign. Look for rookie Javon Kinlaw to pick up the slack up the middle, while the Niners will also need DJ Jones and Arik Armstead to step up.

The San Francisco 49ers are declining their fifth-year option on defensive lineman Solomon Thomas on Friday, according to a source. Thomas was taken third overall in the 2017 draft but has been a bust for San Francisco. The 24-year-old has just six sacks and 93 combined tackles (73 solo) in 46 games (28 starts) in his three years in the league so far. He had two sacks, 21 combined tackles, three tackles for loss and six QB hits in 16 games (three starts) for the Niners in 2019. Thomas will continue to be a rotational pass-rusher on the team's defensive line and will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2020 season.

The San Francisco 49ers selected Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas with the third overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft. San Fran traded down from the No. 2 spot with the Bears. Thomas is a great athlete at 6-foot-3, 275 pounds and figures to be best used as a run-stopper in the NFL. He compiled 25.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks and four fumble recoveries in his two years at Stanford.
