Tyquan Thornton Fantasy

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton caught three of seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Miami Dolphins. Thornton reeled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mac Jones in the first quarter to put the Patriots on the scoreboard. The 22-year-old logged a career-high 60 receiving yards and caught his second touchdown in Sunday's victory. Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) exited Sunday's game early with a shoulder injury and is considered day-to-day. Thornton could see an expanded role against the Bills for the regular season finale if Meyers cannot suit up, but he remains a boom-or-bust option.

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (knee) is active for Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable. On one hand, the absence of DeVante Parker (concussion) suggests that Thornton could see increased volume. However, the rookie has played at least 88 percent of snaps in each of his last three games and has combined for just six catches and 57 yards during that span. Thornton doesn't have fantasy appeal quite yet.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (knee) was limited in practices all week and is questionable to take the field in Week 17 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old second-rounder should have a pretty good shot to suit up this weekend, but he shouldn't be relied on in starting fantasy lineups, even with DeVante Parker missing another game due to a concussion. Thornton has some appealing long-term upside in the NFL, but in the last two weeks with Parker sidelined, he has only two catches on seven targets for 29 yards. He'll remain behind Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor on the receiver depth chart if he plays. Thornton has 18 catches (36 targets) for 174 yards and one TD in his first 11 NFL games.
