Player Outlook
Thomas will again be the starting tight end for the Commanders to open the season, but he has minimal Fantasy value in that role. Thomas is not worth drafting in the majority of Fantasy leagues. He was a breakout tight end in 2020 when he averaged 11.0 PPR points per game. But injuries and inconsistent play have been a problem the past two seasons, and he only averaged 5.5 PPR points per game in 2022. We'll see how he does this year with new quarterback Sam Howell or Jacoby Brissett, but if Thomas starts off the season playing well, just add him off the waiver wire. In tight-end premium leagues, you can take a late-round flier on Thomas in deeper formats.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Won't play this week

    Thomas (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Thomas didn't practice this week after an early exit from last Sunday's 35-33 win over Denver. He's seen 11 targets in six quarters of action this season, but there's no guarantee of similar involvement for the backup tight ends with both John Bates and Cole Turner likely to play a lot.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Officially DNP on Thursday

    Thomas (concussion) officially didn't practice Thursday. This comes as no surprise after Thomas wasn't seen during the media-access portion of the session. He'll thus have just one more chance to show that he's progressing through the concussion protocol, which he's currently in due to a helmet-to-helmet hit that he took from Broncos safety Kareem Jackson this past Sunday. If Thomas is unable to suit up Week 3 against the Bills, John Bates and Cole Turner will be the Commanders' primary tight ends this Sunday.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Not seen at practice Thursday

    Thomas (concussion) wasn't spotted during the open part of Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Assuming he goes down as a non-participant for a second consecutive session, Thomas seemingly doesn't have enough time to make his way through the concussion protocol and be able to suit up Sunday against the Bills. If that comes to pass, the Commanders will turn to John Bates and Cole Turner at tight end for as long as Thomas is sidelined.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Not returning Sunday

    Thomas (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game in Denver. Thomas was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from Broncos safety Kareem Jackson during his touchdown catch late in the second quarter. With the team ruling him out, Thomas will finish Week 2 with two catches (on three targets) for 22 yards and one touchdown. He'll now be subject to the protocol for head injuries, which will determine whether or not he'll be available next Sunday against the Bills. John Bates and Cole Turner are the next players up at TE for the Commanders.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Evaluated for concussion

    Thomas is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Broncos. Prior to his exit from the contest, Thomas caught two of his three targets for 22 yards and a TD. John Bates and Cole Turner are next up for the Commanders' TE snaps in Thomas' absence.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Week 2 Waiver Priority List

    Despite having Jahan Dotson, Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel, it was Thomas who led the Commanders in targets in Week 1 against Arizona. Now, we know the Cardinals have been awful against tight ends for multiple seasons, so Thomas took advantage of a good matchup. But he might be someone Sam Howell leans on moving forward, so keep that in mind. He only finished with four catches for 43 yards, but in deeper leagues, Thomas is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Week 2 Streamers (TE Preview)

    We can't just ignore the fact that over a fourth of Sam Howell's pass attempts went to Thomas in Week 1. Both Thomas and Ertz are veterans who were understandably undrafted, but if their Week 1 usage carries over to Week 2 they will look more like starters than waiver wire adds.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Busy in season debut

    Thomas caught four of his team-high eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Arizona. In addition to his surprising team lead in targets, the 32-year-old tight end played 82 percent of snaps on offense, not far behind WRs Terry McLaurin (89 percent) and Jahan Dotson (87 percent). The Commanders undoubtedly want more of the targets going to those two, and the Cardinals were a particularly good matchup for the tight end, but Thomas could still average a handful of looks per week or even slightly more if he's able to stay on the field. A trip to Denver in Week 2 marks the start of what could be a stretch of tough matchups however, as the Commanders subsequently face the Bills in Week 3 and the Eagles in Week 4.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Good to go for opener

    Thomas (calf) wasn't listed Wednesday on the Commanders' Week 1 injury report. Thomas' absence from the injury report confirms that he's completed his recovery from the calf strain that kept him out of practice and preseason games for nearly all of August. He'll likely reclaim his role as the team's top receiving tight end this Sunday against the Cardinals, though he could cede a few routes and snaps to Cole Turner as well as blocking tight end John Bates.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Making progress with calf

    Thomas (calf) is working his way back into practice and could have a major role under new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Cole Turner had a busy preseason filling in with the first-team offense, but Thomas is still expected to get most of those snaps/targets once the games count. It sounds like the 32-year-old is on track for Week 1 against Arizona despite missing most of training camp and all three preseason games. While probably only the fourth or fifth option in Washington's passing game when everyone is healthy, Thomas could bump up a spot in the pecking order if he's cleared to play Week 1 and WR Terry McLaurin (toe) isn't.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Doing individual work

    Thomas (calf) will do individual work Thursday, with coach Ron Rivera noting that the tight end has "progressed very well," Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Thomas hasn't practiced with teammates since at least Aug. 3 and seems likely to miss a third straight preseason game when the Commanders host the Bengals on Saturday. Second-year pro Cole Turner has been filling in as the top tight end for the first-team offense, catching six passes for 54 yards through two preseason games, including five connections with starting QB Sam Howell.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Works with trainers on side field

    Thomas (calf) did some jogging and worked on a side field with trainers at practice Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Thomas has been bothered by a calf strain since early August and missed Washington's first preseason game last week. It seems likely that he'll sit out Monday's contest against Baltimore as well, though that hasn't yet been confirmed. Given his ability to work on a side field Saturday, there remains hope that Thomas can be ready for the start of the regular season.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Still not practicing

    Thomas (calf) won't practice Sunday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Thomas has missed over a week of training camp now, including Washington's preseason opener Friday, due to a calf injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Commanders did add Kaden Smith to their tight end group Sunday for extra depth, which suggests Thomas isn't on the verge of suiting up any time soon.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Bothered by calf strain

    Thomas missed Friday's practice due to a calf strain, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. The Commanders apparently don't consider the injury serious, as coach Ron Rivera used the phrase "an abundance of caution" to explain why Thomas was held out of practice. The 32-year-old tight end doesn't have the stiffest competition in Washington's TE room and seems to be liked by the coaching staff, but his status with the team still feels a bit shaky given that he struggled last season and is now due a non-guaranteed $6.28 million base salary in 2023. The biggest thing working in Thomas' favor right now might be the reality that the Commanders don't have another experienced pass catcher at his position, nor do they have any TEs drafted before the fourth round. The strongest candidate to poach targets from Thomas would probably be 2022 fifth-round pick Cole Turner, who caught two passes on 245 offensive snaps last year.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Held to 16 yards in finale

    Thomas caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 26-6 win over Dallas. Thomas finishes his age-31 season with one touchdown in 14 games, having caught 39 of 61 targets for 323 yards (8.3 YPR, 5.3 YPT). He came back from last year's ACL tear for Week 1 and then returned from a calf injury after missing three games in October, mostly handling a familiar role as Washington's receiving threat at tight end. Thomas wasn't much of one in 2022, of course, and he's scheduled for a non-guaranteed $6.275 million base salary in 2023, the second season of his three-year extension, per OverTheCap.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Week 18 Streamers (TE Preview)

    Thomas has seen a 24% target share in the Commanders past two games and we'd expect a pass-heavy script against a Cowboys team that should be playing its starters.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Racks up six catches

    Thomas recorded six catches on seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns. Thomas was a favorite target of Carson Wentz and tied for the team lead with seven targets. He converted those opportunities at a high rate and recorded gains of 15, 11 and 10 yards. Thomas' production has remained volatile, though he has at least five receptions in three of his last six games.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Catches one pass in loss

    Thomas caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants. Thomas operated as the Commanders' No. 1 tight end, playing 40 of the team's 63 offensive snaps in the contest. Unfortunately, the veteran was unable to make the most of limited opportunities. It's been a mostly disappointing season for Thomas, as he is averaging an abysmal 19.6 receiving yards per game and has scored just one touchdown this season. The 31-year-old remains a very risky fantasy option heading into a Week 16 matchup with the 49ers.

  • Commanders' Logan Thomas: Held to 20 yards

    Thomas caught three of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 20-20 tie with the Giants. Thomas played 56 percent of offensive snaps, tying a season low from Week 8 when he was in his first game back from a three-week absence due to a calf injury. Thomas has averaged only 1.8 catches for 17.3 yards in five games since his return, unable to make much of a dent in an offense with talented wide receivers and a busy RB duo. He'll likely continue to get most of the TE snaps in obvious passing situations on the other side of a Week 14 bye when the Commanders face the Giants again.
