2022 Fantasy Outlook
Thomas started a career-high 13 of 17 games last season, but he only managed 18 catches on 30 targets for 188 yards and didn't score any touchdowns. Despite that limited pass-catching profile - as well as rookie third-rounder Tommy Tremble sporting slightly better production - Thomas was re-signed on a three-year deal this offseason. That commitment figures to keep Thomas in a similar role during the upcoming campaign, with his blocking offering more value than his presence as a route runner. Read Past Outlooks

Reworks deal with Panthers
Thomas agreed to a restructured contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thomas signed a three-year extension in the 2022 offseason, and his reworked deal will help Carolina's cap flexibility. He's expected to occupy a backup role after the Panthers signed fellow tight end Hayden Hurst to a three-year contract Wednesday.

Jerry Donabedian surveys all of Wednesday's transactions and hones in on the moves that matter most for fantasy.

Jerry Donabedian takes a look back at some of 2022's standouts and gives his early 2023 fantasy rankings for tight ends.

James Cook got more snaps and carries than Devin Singletary even with the Bills playing their starters for the entire game Sunday.

Jerry Donabedian thinks the Saints are set at wide receiver for the next half decade with Rashid Shaheed joining Chris Olave to give them a pair of rookie standouts.

After long-time Panthers tight end Greg Olsen left last offseason, Thomas was promoted to the top of the depth chart. The result was heightened expectations, but Thomas fell flat in his opportunity. In 16 games, he caught 20 of 31 targets for just 145 yards and one touchdown. In March, Carolina inked Dan Arnold to a two-year contract, moving Thomas back down the pecking order at tight end ahead of the upcoming campaign.
