Who Should I Start? Tyquan Thornton or Cody White

Wednesday, October 8, 10:27 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton continues to emerge as one of the pleasant surprises of the 2025 season. Through five games, the former Patriots wideout has caught 13 of 25 targets for 272 yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the WR22 in half-PPR formats. Even with the recent return of second-year receiver Xavier Worthy, Thornton's production has held strong, totaling 101 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. However, fantasy managers should tread carefully. The Chiefs' target competition is about to heat up, with Rashee Rice expected to return in Week 7 and Worthy likely to see an expanded role as he regains full health. That looming target competition could significantly cut into Thornton's target share. Thornton has flashed legitimate big-play ability and chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, but his long-term fantasy value is uncertain. He's best viewed as a strong sell-high candidate while his value remains high.

Las Vegas Raiders left guard Cody Whitehair (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals and did not return. The Raiders suffered numerous offensive line injuries in Week 9, leading to reduced protection in front of Gardner Minshew II and Alexander Mattison. Dylan Parham entered the game at right guard and Jordan Meredith shifted over to replace Whitehair at left guard.
