More Snaps, Opportunities Coming for Tyquan Thornton?

Tuesday, March 10, 1:40 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

Chimere Dike News

Chimere Dike Trending Down Despite Solid Rookie Season?

Monday, May 4, 7:36 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike's dynasty value may be reduced after the team brought in elite competition via the NFL Draft. The Titans selected Carnell Tate fourth overall, in a move that completely reset the wide receiver pecking order in Tennessee. Tate will be the immediate No. 1 receiver, while offseason signing Wan'Dale Robinson slots into the No. 2 role. That leaves Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Calvin Ridley all competing for the third spot on the depth chart. Even if Dike wins that job, he won't have a whole lot of fantasy appeal in a Cameron Ward-led offense that could continue to experience growing pains. At the same time, there's also a chance he falls to fifth on the depth chart. Sure, Dike was the WR50 last year with 48 catches, 423 yards, and four touchdowns, but he had fewer yards than Ayomanor and he has a far less established track record than Ridley. The dynasty outlook is bleak for Dike as long as he remains in Tennessee.
