Tyquan Thornton Fantasy

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (collarbone) was placed on the injured reserve list on Thursday. The 2022 second-round pick recently broke his collarbone and was already forecasted to miss six to eight weeks, so the latest update isn't a surprise. While Thornton's value in deep redraft formats has plummeted, especially since he'll possibly be sidelined for half the year, dynasty managers should keep him stashed him for now.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (collarbone) left Friday's game against the Panthers with a collarbone injury. Although there is no official timetable for his return, the initial expectation is he'll miss about eight weeks. This is an unfortunate outcome for the rookie, who was making an impact during training camp and the preseason. It will sideline Thornton for nearly half the season, eliminating almost all of his fantasy value in season-long leagues. He could be someone to monitor in the second half of the season but not until he returns healthy and earns a role in this offense.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (collarbone) suffered a collarbone injury in the team's second preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night. There isn't an exact timetable for Thornton's return, but it doesn't appear to be a season-ending injury. The 22-year-old will almost certainly miss the start of the 2022 regular season and probably more, but stay tuned for more updates on his condition. The second-round selection was unlikely to be much of a factor in single-season fantasy leagues to begin the year, but he's still worth stashing in dynasty/keeper formats. Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor figure to open the year in starting three-receiver sets for New England.
