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.

Ryan Flournoy a Dynasty Stash with Little Standalone Value

Saturday, June 13, 5:49 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy showed sporadic flashes in his second season but remains little more than an end-of-bench dynasty stash. Across 15 games in 2025, he accumulated 475 receiving yards, but almost half of that came in two games: the first with CeeDee Lamb sidelined with a high-ankle sprain and the other in a wild primetime affair with the Lions that saw 74 total points scored and Dak Prescott dropping back to throw more than 50 times. Across 13 other contests, Flournoy averaged less than 19 yards per game while adding three touchdowns. Should Lamb or George Pickens miss extended time moving forward, the most obvious benefactor will continue to be tight end Jake Ferguson, but even as a third option in such a scenario, Flournoy could see enough opportunity in a high-powered Cowboys offense to make him fantasy viable as the occasional injury replacement or bye week fill-in. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR121, the 26-year-old Flournoy is by no means a must-roster player, but in shallower leagues, he should be floated in trade conversations before being viewed as an outright drop candidate.
