2020 Receiving Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Thomas suffered a cracked rib during the preseason that kept him off the field until the second half of the 2019 campaign. Coming off a four-touchdown effort as a rookie, he was in line for productive season, but the injury limited him to five games and one catch during the regular season. Thomas played minimally in the Texans' two postseason contests and returns to a crowded position group that also includes Darren Fells, Jordan Akins and Kahale Warring. Houston ran a lot of 12 personnel (one RB, two TE) last season, but changes at wide receiver could mean a roster that carries only three tight ends. Read Past Outlooks
Teetering on roster bubble
Thomas doesn't appear to have much job security heading into training camp, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thomas had four touchdown receptions as a rookie in 2018 but was limited to five games and 67 offensive snaps in 2019 after a cracked rib at the end of August kept him on injured reserve for much of the season. Meanwhile, Darren Fells and Jordan Akins split the bulk of the playing time at tight end, combining for a 70-759-9 receiving line on 103 targets. Both appear locked in for 2020 roster spots, and 2019 third-round pick Kahale Warring also should join the competition after a preseason concussion led the Texans to stash him on IR for the entirety of his rookie campaign. Houston ran the second-most plays (349) out of 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) in 2019, so it wouldn't be a major surprise if head coach/general manager Bill O'Brien kept four tight ends on his 53-man roster. Even so, Thomas is looking at a difficult path to snaps and targets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
The 6-5 Thomas made for a big target and led the position group with four touchdowns last season. That was surprising, as fellow 2018 draftee Jordan Akins was presumed to be the receiving threat while Thomas was viewed as the more adept blocker. Thomas seemed poised for an expanded role in 2019, but unfortunately ended up being placed on IR due to a cracked rib.
