  • Tyquan Thornton: Finds new opportunity

    Thornton signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Thornton was waived by the Patriots on Saturday after a disappointing three-year run in New England. The Baylor product was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the team but never lived up to expectations. Thornton had been a healthy scratch each of the last two weeks, but he'll now have an opportunity for a fresh start in Kansas City.

  • Tyquan Thornton: Let go by New England

    The Patriots waived Thornton on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Selected with the 50th pick overall by New England in the 2022 NFL Draft, Thornton never lived up to expectations over the first two and a half years of his NFL career, partially due to injuries that limited him to just nine appearances in 2023. He's generally stayed healthy in 2024 but has been unable to carve out a regular role in the wideout rotation, as Thornton had been a healthy inactive in four of the previous five contests. The 24-year-old receiver will be a casualty on the 53-man roster with the Patriots needing to make room for star defensive lineman Christian Barmore, who was activated from the reserve/non-football illness list.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Inactive Sunday

    Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Thornton was also a healthy scratch in Week 9. In his absence versus Chicago, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker and K.J. Osborn will handle the Patriots' wideout duties.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Inactive Sunday

    Thornton is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    With Thornton and K.J. Osborn not in uniform Sunday, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker are available to handle the Patriots' Week 9 wideout duties. In the wake of his healthy scratch Sunday, it's possible that Thornton could be moved ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Cleared for Week 9

    Thornton (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    After being limited Thursday, Thornton practiced fully Friday, which paves the way for him to be available Sunday against Tennessee. That said, the 2022 second-rounder isn't a high-percentage profile fantasy option these days while working in a wideout corps that also includes DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk and K.J. Osborn.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Added to injury report

    Thornton (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Thornton practiced fully Wednesday, so it's possible that he tweaked his ankle during Thursday's session. If Thornton is available Sunday against the Titans, he'd profile as a low-percentage fantasy option while working in a New England wideout corps that also includes DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk (concussion).

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Two catches versus Jets

    Thornton caught two of his three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

    Ja'Lynn Polk was out Sunday due to a concussion, so Thornton returned from two straight healthy scratches to log 12 of a possible 67 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. As long as Thornton continues to work behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, however, the 2022 second-rounder will remain off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: On track to play Sunday

    Thornton, who has been a healthy scratch the last two games, is in line to be active Sunday against the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Per head coach Jerod Mayo, Thornton has "had a great week of practice. Hopefully it translates." With Ja'Lynn Polk dealing with a concussion, Thornton should have an opportunity to work into the Patriots' wideout rotation Week 8 behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, but until the speedster puts up some consistent production he's off the fantasy lineup radar. In five games thus far, Thornton has caught two of his five targets for 27 yards.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Healthy inactive once again

    Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

    After playing just one snap in the Patriots' Week 5 loss to the Dolphins, Thornton now finds himself as a healthy inactive for the second week in a row. The 2022 second-round pick looks to have fallen out of favor in New England and may need the Patriots to lose another receiver to injury before he gets another opportunity to suit up for a game.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Inactive versus Houston

    Thornton is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Thornton and Javon Baker are healthy scratches for Sunday's contest. As a result, the Patriots' Week 6 WR corps will be comprised of Ja'Lynn Polk, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Kayshon Boutte.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Just one snap Sunday

    Thornton was one the field for only one of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Though K.J. Osborn (shoulder) was inactive, Kendrick Bourne (knee) returned to action Sunday and Kayshon Boutte logged 40 snaps. With his playing time tapering off, Thornton is far from the fantasy radar, with Chris Mason of masslive.com suggesting that the 2022 second-rounder could be a trade candidate.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Limited role Sunday

    Thornton logged 13 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Thornton failed to catch his only target Sunday, and was out-snapped in the contest by Ja'Lynn Polk (53), K.J. Osborn (42), DeMario Douglas (38) and even Kayshon Boutte (15). With Kendrick Bourne (knee) progressing toward a return to action soon, Thornton's path to fantasy relevance is getting increasingly narrow.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Held without a catch Thursday

    Thornton logged 17 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    In the process, Thornton did not catch his only target in the contest. With a 2-27-0 receiving line through three games, the 2022 second-rounder is off the fantasy radar while working as the Patriots' No. 4 WR behind DeMario Douglas, K.J. Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: No targets in Week 2

    Thornton logged 31 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Thornton was out-snapped by K.J. Osborn (51 snaps), Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) and DeMario Douglas (38 snaps) and wasn't targeted in the contest. As Thursday's game against the Jets approaches, the 2022 second-round pick is only a lineup option in the deepest of formats.

  • Patriots' Tyquan Thornton: Two catches versus Bengals

    Thornton, who was on the field for 38 of 65 snaps on offense in the Patriots' 16-10 season-opening win over the Bengals on Sunday, caught two of his three targets for 27 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Thornton was in the Patriots' starting lineup along with DeMario Douglas (39 snaps) and K.J. Osborn (40 snaps), whilerookie second-rounder Ja'Lynn Polk was also out there for 35 snaps in Week 1. Though Thornton appears to be carving out a steady role in the team's passing offense in 2024, he won't be a reliable fantasy lineup option until or unless he sees consistent looks from QB Jacoby Brissett, or 2024 third overall pick Drake Maye once he takes the reins.
