2023 Fantasy Outlook
Thomas made it back from a torn Achilles in 2021 for Week 1 of last season, but like many players before him he didn't have the same explosiveness and dealt with another lower-body injury early on. He ultimately played 14 games and took 68 percent of the offensive snaps in those contests, yet he finished with only a 39-323-1 line on 61 targets. While being another year removed from surgery might help, Thomas now is 32 and could lose his role (or at least part of it) to a young player like Cole Turner alongside John Bates. The Commanders didn't address their shaky TE room in the offseason, perhaps hoping Thomas can rebound. Read Past Outlooks
Being cut by Commanders
Washington announced the release of Thomas on Friday, saving the team roughly $6.5 million in cap space.
ANALYSIS
Thomas' release leaves the Commanders with about $1.7 million in dead cap space. The veteran tight end is heading into his age-33 season but logged a solid bounce-back effort in 2023, having secured 55 of 79 targets for 496 yards and four scores across 16 regular-season games. A proven contributor capable of moving the chains on offense, Thomas should garner real interest on the free agent market, though he's not guaranteed a chance at a true starting role at this point in his career. Washington also released veteran tackle Charles Leno in a cap-saving move Friday.

Thomas got off to a promising start in 2021 after a breakout 2020, but a major knee injury ended
his season and cast doubt over his fantasy outlook for this season. Thomas had surgery to
repair a torn ACL in his left knee Dec. 17, with the procedure also addressing tears to his MCL
and meniscus. Given the extent of Thomas’ injuries and his age (31), he is unlikely to be ready
for Week 1 — he only resumed jogging in April — and might find it difficult to return to his pre-
injury level of production. In his first year with Washington, the 6-6 tight end set career highs
with 72 receptions, 670 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 110 targets. He had 196 yards
and three touchdowns in six games last year before his season ended. Once Thomas is ready
to play, his biggest competition for snaps will be second-year tight end John Bates, who took on
a larger role in the second half of his rookie season following Thomas’ injury.
