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.

Luke McCaffrey News

Luke McCaffrey is Cut Candidate in Dynasty Formats

Friday, June 19, 5:44 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey is falling on the depth chart after an unimpressive sophomore campaign. McCaffrey was off to a solid start to the season, but a broken collarbone cut his season short. He finished with 11 receptions for 203 receiving yards and three touchdowns in nine games last season. The former third-round pick has fewer than 30 receptions and less than 400 receiving yards during his first two years in the league. The Commanders brought in Dyami Brown, Van Jefferson, and drafted Antonio Williams during this year's draft. There's more competition now, and McCaffrey hasn't done enough to push himself ahead of those players on the depth chart. The 25-year-old could very well get lost in the shuffle and is someone who doesn't need to be rostered in dynasty formats anymore.
