Kid gloves for Tua Tagovailoa? Is Mike White the Jets' future? AFC East analysis
Catches two passes in Week 13 Thornton caught two of his three targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills.
Impact The rookie wideout was on the field for 21 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. With 12 catches on 24 targets for 117 yards and a TD in eight games to date, the 2022 second-rounder isn't seeing steady enough volume at this stage to merit fantasy attention in all but the deepest of formats.

Not targeted against Vikings Thornton went without a target in Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Even though he technically started Thursday, Thornton saw his role slip Week 12 while veterans Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne took on more work. As a result, Thornton was limited to just 20 snaps on Thanksgiving Day and failed to see a target for the first time in any of his seven games this season.

Catches one pass Sunday Thornton logged 17 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thornton's Week 11 snap count represented a season low, and for the fourth consecutive game, the 2022 second-rounder caught just one pass (on two targets) for five yards. Until steady volume heads his way, Thornton is off the fantasy radar while working in a New England wideout corps that also includes Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

One catch in Week 9 Thornton logged 42 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts en route to catching one of his four targets for five yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com report...
Impact Since scoring two TDs in Week 6 against the Browns, Thornton has caught one pass in each of his last three games. The 2022 second-rounder is off the fantasy radar for now, with Jakobi Meyers being the only New England wide receiver producing consistently enough to merit weekly lineup consideration.

Impact Thornton's season-high playing time total was the result of DeVante Parker (knee) being forced out of Sunday's contest after one snap. With Parker potentially being unavailable for the Patriots' Week 9 contest against the Colts, Thornton could continue to see added work this coming weekend, but until the rookie wideout sees steady volume he'll be a speculative fantasy lineup option.

Catches one pass Monday Thornton was on the field for 44 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Monday's loss to the Bears, catching one of five targets for 19 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Nelson Agholor was back in the mix after missing a game due to a hamstring injury, he saw only three snaps as Thornton worked as the Patriots' No. 3 WR behind Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker. As the speedy rookie's two-TD effort in Week 6 suggests, Thornton has some playmaking upside, but in his current role he profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Impact Thornton saw an expanded role Week 6 alongside Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker, with Nelson Agholor (hamstring) inactive and Kendrick Bourne limited to four snaps due to a toe injury. The 2022 second-rounder's volume and fantasy upside Week 7 versus the Bears likely hinges on the availability of Agholor and Bourne, but in any case Thornton's speed gives him the potential to make plays in the coming weeks, thus making him a sleeper candidate in deeper formats.

Impact The 2022 second-rounder missed New England's first four games due to a collarbone injury, but now that he's back in the mix, Thornton brings added speed to New England's pass-catching corps. However, with Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor (hamstring) and Kendrick Bourne also in the team's WR mix, Thornton doesn't currently have a steady path to targets.
