Logan Thomas Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. TE John Bates figures to lead Washington in pass routes but is just an emergency fantasy play.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (calf) will not play vs. the Titans today, ESPN's John Keim reports. Thomas misses a plus matchup after hurting that calf late in the practice week. Washington will have TEs John Bates, Cole Turner and Armani Rogers active for today's game. Bates is the best fantasy bet but would be a desperation play.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Commanders TE Logan Thomas a "true game-time decision" for today's tilt with the Titans. Thomas was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday. We'll get Washington's inactives around 11:30 am ET. It's a plus matchup for Thomas if he plays, but the calf makes him an extremely risky fantasy start.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas missed practice Friday with a calf injury that has him questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. ESPN's John Keim says the TE's status "will be determined Sunday morning." Sounds like Thomas will be risky to trust in fantasy football lineups even if he's active. John Bates figures to start if Thomas can't go. The team also plans to have TE Cole Turner active, with WR Jahan Dotson's absence (hamstring) opening a roster spot.

Commanders QB Carson Wentz threw for just 170 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys. WR Curtis Samuel once again led the team in targets (7), catching 4 balls for 38 yards. TE Logan Thomas, WR Terry McLaurin and TE John Bates tied for 2nd with 6 targets apiece. Rookie WR Jahan Dotson led the squad with 43 receiving yards and snagged the lone TD but left early with a hamstring injury. Dallas looked like a negative matchup heading in. A Week 5 home date with the Titans presents rebound potential.

WR Curtis Samuel led the Commanders in targets for the 3rd straight game in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 10 stood 1 ahead of WR Terry McLaurin and RB J.D. McKissic and 2 ahead of WR Jahan Dotson. TE Logan Thomas trailed in 5th place with 3 looks. Samuel caught a team-high 7 balls but collected a mere 48 yards (6.9 per catch). McLaurin turned his 6 receptions into 102 yards, while Dotson managed just 2 catches for 10 yards amid 8 targets. Through 3 weeks, QB Carson Wentz ranks 4th in the league in pass attempts, which has helped the volume of every pass-catcher.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. Activated from the PUP list less than 3 weeks ago after last December’s multi-ligament knee injury, Thomas is unlikely to be ready for a full slate of snaps today.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas is "ready to go" for Sunday's opener vs. the Jaguars, according to ESPN's John Keim. We'd be surprised if Thomas played a full allotment of snaps in his first game since last December's knee injury. He was just activated from the PUP list on August 22.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars after a limited week of practice. Activated from the PUP list less than 3 weeks ago, Thomas is unlikely to be ready for a full slate of snaps even if he plays. He’s not a viable Week 1 fantasy option.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. It looks like he has a real chance to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Jaguars -- 9 months after suffering a multi-ligament knee injury. We wouldn't trust Thomas in Week 1 fantasy lineups, but he might be in the mix by the end of September.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas told reporters Monday that he's not yet sure whether he'll play in the regular-season opener. He said he expects to be cleared "this week or next" for a full return from his knee repair and that he's playing without limitations. "Still feel things here and there, but not anything that affects the way I play," he said, according to ESPN's John Keim. Don't plan on using Thomas in Week 1 fantasy lineups. But it seems like he'll be available soon. We'll most likely want to see at least a game out of Thomas before considering him as a fantasy starter.

ESPN's John Keim writes that the "expectation" is that TE Logan Thomas (knee) will return by Week 2 "at the latest." Thomas was activated from the PUP list a week ago after tearing the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee last December. He won't be a reliable fantasy play out of the gate, but Thomas could be a starting option by October.

Washington has activated TE Logan Thomas from the PUP list, making him available to practice a little more than 2 weeks ahead of the regular-season opener. That should point to Thomas being active to open the season, though we'll see how close he can get to regular use before Week 1. He is still just a little more than 8 months behind tearing the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee.

Commanders rookie TE Cole Turner has been working in with the 1st team at training camp. Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports Washington says that he "has had a nice start to camp." Turner's not worth getting excited about, but there is opportunity potentially available. Logan Thomas has yet to come off the PUP list as he works back from a December ACL tear that included other damage. If Turner can work ahead of 2nd-year TE John Bates on the depth chart, he'd carry some intrigue as a very late 3rd TE (or 4th in FFPC formats) on best-ball rosters. The 5th-round converted WR caught 111 passes over his final 2 college seasons and delivered an above-average speed score for the position in pre-draft testing at 6'6 and 250 pounds. Turner at least looks like a name to know for dynasty purposes. Thomas is heading into his age-31 season.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (knee) has been placed on the PUP list. No surprise here. Thomas is still recovering from December injuries to his ACL, MCL, lateral meniscus and medial meniscus. We're expecting him to start the season on the reserve PUP list and miss at least the first 4 weeks.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas revealed more about the knee injury that he suffered this past December. "With my knee, the reports came out but they didn't tell the full story," Thomas said. "I did ACL, MCL and both my [lateral and medial] meniscus." We knew that Thomas tore his ACL and MCL, but the meniscus damage is new information. Thomas added that he's hoping to play Week 1 but admitted that the timeline he was given would have him back "somewhere around Week 4." We'll monitor his progress this summer.

Washington TE Logan Thomas has resumed jogging and was told that he's "a little ahead of schedule" in his return from a December 5 torn ACL. Thomas had surgery on December 17 and was reportedly given a 10-month timetable for return. That'd put him back in mid-October. We'll continue to monitor Thomas' progress, but fantasy owners shouldn't currently be expecting him to be ready for the start of the season.

Further testing revealed that Washington TE Logan Thomas tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team originally believed that Thomas only tore the MCL. We already knew he was out of the rest of this season, but now his availability for the start of the 2022 campaign is in question. We'll track his rehab this offseason.
