Plays minimal role in Carolina
Thompkins caught all four of his targets for 20 yards and rushed two times for seven yards over seven regular-season games in 2024. He also tallied 134 kick-return yards and 19 punt-return yards.
ANALYSIS
Thompkins spent most of his 2024 campaign bouncing between the Panthers' practice squad and active roster, appearing in seven consecutive games from Week 9 to Week 16. The 25-year-old played a minimal role on Carolina's offense, logging just six touches over 51 offensive snaps. He also wasn't much of a factor in the return game, stepping in for Raheem Blackshear and serving as the team's top return specialist in Weeks 14 and 15. Thompkins is now set to be a restricted free agent this summer, but it wouldn't be surprising if he lands elsewhere, as he was a healthy scratch in the Panthers' final two games of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The resilient Thompkins eventually earned his way onto the active roster last season after initially earning a practice squad spot following final cuts. The undrafted Utah State product recorded his first five regular-season receptions across five games and logged 324 return yards as well. Thompkins totaled 122 snaps overall in 2022, but he's now fighting for the No. 3 WR job with Trey Palmer and David Moore after Russell Gage suffered a season-ending injury in training camp.
