Deven Thompkins

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
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.

No targets despite solid snap count
WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
September 18, 2023
Thompkins rushed once for 11 yards and didn't log any targets in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay and returned two punts for seven yards.
ANALYSIS
Thompkins' lack of targets was disappointing considering he logged 32 snaps from scrimmage, yet that level of involvement is encouraging in its own right. The second-year speedster has been within a handful of snaps of No. 3 receiver Trey Palmer in both of the first two contests, but his game-to-game production will naturally be difficult to trust unless injuries strike Mike Evans or Chris Godwin.
