Tyquan Thornton News
New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) will spend the first four weeks of the season on the sideline. The team is placing him on short-term injured reserve. The sophomore suffered the injury during training camp. The Patriots tried to design plays for the speedster in 2022 but failed to do so with much success. He caught just 22 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Once healthy, Thornton will sit behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kendrick Bourne, and DeVante Parker on New England's depth chart.
New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton missed training camp practice on Wednesday with an undisclosed issue. It's unknown what Thornton is dealing with or how serious it is, but it's a pretty good bet he won't suit up for Friday's preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old second-rounder last year continues to compete for a roster spot as receiver depth for the Patriots entering the 2023 regular season. Thornton is off the fantasy radar for now in standard-sized leagues while being behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne on the receiver depth chart. He was a complementary piece in his rookie campaign and he caught just 22 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games (nine starts). Thornton should have a bigger role in 2023, but it won't necessarily lead to pertinent fantasy production on a weekly basis.
New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton caught both of his targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 20-9 preseason loss to the Houston Texans. Bailey Zappe connected with Thornton for a 27-yard completion late in the first quarter. The 23-year-old has struggled during training camp. It was good to see Thornton make a massive play in his first game of preseason action. He is competing with JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and Demario Douglas for wide receiver targets. Thornton caught 22 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games in 2022. The Baylor product has elite speed and a chance to make an impact as New England's top deep threat, making Thornton mainly an option in deep-league formats.

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) is starting the 2023 campaign on Injured Reserve. He will miss at least the first four games. He had a quiet rookie season after being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but sophomore receivers are often nice values in fantasy drafts, and he could see an expanded role in 2023. The speedy Baylor product caught just 22 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns (one rushing touchdown) last season, but he missed the first...
