Mike Thomas - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes progress toward return Thomas (hamstring) participated in a limited fashion during Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Thomas has been dealing with the injury for the past week and was held out of the team's Week 11 contest as a result. He was also a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, so this progress is a good sign for his potential availability in Week 12. If he's able to take the field, Thomas could see an increased role with Auden Tate (COVID-19) unlikely to be available.

Not practicing Wednesday Thomas (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was unavailable for Sunday's loss to Washington and continues to deal with the hamstring injury. Thomas likely needs to practice in the next two days to have a chance of suiting up Sunday against the Giants.

Sitting out Sunday Thomas (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Washington, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Thomas will miss a game for the first time since the 2018 season. His role on offense has been consistent all year; he's played around 30 percent of the snaps each game, and his absence should open the door for both Auden Tate and Alex Erickson to handle larger roles Sunday, while Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green start at wide receiver, per usual.

Questionable for Week 11 The Bengals list Thomas as questionable with a hamstring injury for Sunday's game against Washington, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas was added to the injury report Thursday after practicing on a limited basis, and his questionable designation implies he wasn't able to shake the hamstring issue completely during Friday's practice. If he gains clearance for Sunday, Thomas will be in line for a depth role in Cincinnati's receiving corps, as Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green are locked in as the team's clear top-three wideouts.

Zero targets in Week 8 Thomas played only six snaps and had zero targets in Sunday's win over the Titans.

Impact Auden Tate had a big day on Sunday, relegating Thomas to a WR5 role for the Bengals. Even with John Ross inactive, Thomas needs a few injuries to move into a role where he's getting more than a handful of snaps.

NOVEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Two big plays Thomas had two catches for 54 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Browns, dropping one ball on the third target.

Impact Thomas isn't going to get the volume necessary to be useful in most fantasy formats -- he has yet to see more than four targets in a game -- but he is at least ahead of John Ross in the Bengals' pecking order.

OCTOBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Snags one pass in loss Thomas caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Thomas continues to operate as the No. 4 receiver behind Tyler Boyd, A.J. Green and rookie Tee Higgins. He's now totaled 11 receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown. Barring an injury to one of the starters, though, Thomas' fantasy value is negligible.

Loses key fumble Thomas caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and lost a fumble on that reception that was returned for a touchdown.

Impact Despite the lost fumble, Thomas might be in line for more opportunities next week against the Colts if A.J. Green's hamstring injury keeps him sidelined.

Only one target Thomas caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He was on the field for 25 offensive snaps.

Impact The ascendance of rookie Tee Higgins has limited Thomas's ability to make an impact. Quarterback Joe Burrow has also started throwing more to tight end Drew Sample. Thomas's chances of making an impact now seem to be tied to one of the top three Bengals receivers missing time.

Targets recede in Week 3 Thomas had two catches for nine yards on two targets in the Week 3 tie against the Eagles. He was on the field for 16 offensive snaps.

Impact Thomas played less and was targeted less frequently than Tee Higgins and even Auden Tate. He had established a connection with Joe Burrow in training camp that revealed itself earlier in the season, especially in Week 2 against the Browns when he scored, but he's a rotation player and not a mainstay right now.

Finds end zone in loss Thomas brought in all four of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 35-30 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Impact Thomas became the second Bengals pass-catcher to haul in a scoring throw from Joe Burrow in the contest, making his grab on a nifty slant pattern with 5:55 remaining to help bring Cincinnati within five points at the time. While Thomas figures to have an uphill battle for targets each week with the quartet of A.J. Green, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and John Ross in front of him on the depth chart, the veteran has a respectable seven looks through two games and could potentially benefit on occasion from the attention heaped on his teammates.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up 17 yards Thomas caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Thomas logged 15 offensive snaps -- tied with Auden Tate and rookie second-round pick Tee Higgins -- and was just one of four wide receivers to garner a target in the season opener. This trend likely won't keep up as Higgins gets more comfortable in the NFL.
