Finishes as team's leading receiver
Thornton finished with three catches for 90 yards on five targets in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
After drawing a team-high nine targets in the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Giants, Thornton saw his role in the passing game take a significant hit in the Week 4 win over the Ravens, when Kansas City returned Xavier Worthy from a two-game absence. Though he still ranked fourth among Chiefs receivers in snap share (45 percent) and ranked fourth overall in targets in Monday's win, Thornton was able to make the most of his opportunities. He accounted for three of the Chiefs' four biggest plays of the night, ripping off gains of 34, 32 and 24 yards on downfield throws by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. As one of the speedier players on the roster, Thornton could continue to have a role as a vertical threat even when Rashee Rice returns from suspension Week 7, but Thornton's game-to-game production will likely be somewhat volatile.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Over the first two years of his pro career, Thornton, a 2022 second-rounder, has had trouble staying on the field and been limited to 35 catches in 22 contests. With an eye toward holding up better, the 6-2, 185-pounder sought to bulk up ahead of this season. Thornton's speed remains his calling card, and that's what could help him stick around if he has a strong summer under the tutelage of new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. On the plus side, Thornton, 24, figures to have a clean slate with the team's new coaching staff, but the Baylor product has plenty of competition for targets in a crowded wideout corps that lacks a clear pecking order ahead of training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fellow speedster returns Sunday
Thornton, who's served as the Chiefs' most consistent downfield threat in the absence of Xavier Worthy over the last two-plus games, will see his teammate return to action in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Ravens, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thornton has arguably shown nearly as much promise over his first three games in Kansas City than he did over his three seasons in New England combined after the Patriots selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The speedster has particularly thrived in the two full games Worthy has missed, posting a combined 7-130-2 line on 14 targets in that span. However, Worthy's return gives the Chiefs back their most potent deep threat, and it remains to be seen if Thornton will therefore see a reduction in downfield routes.
