Logan Thomas

Postby FantasyFootballTeam » Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:16 pm

'Experts" have him ranked as a Top 8 TE this year in redraft and he's been moving up the draft boards during the off-season.

He was second in targets last year behind McLaurin but now they've added Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown. Fitzmagic is an upgrade at QB but not known for throwing to his TE's and Thomas wasn't very efficient last year either.

Will his fantasy production be as good as it was as the end of last year?

He could still finish in the top 10 but I think his production will go down. I'm guessing TE 6 - 10 type of finish.

I wouldn't go off of what Fitz did in Miami as he's in a different offensive system in Washington. If anything, I think Logan will get more redzone targets this year than he did a season ago even if his overall reception count goes down a bit.

That said, I'm not sure if he's a top 5 TE this year. That seems a bit high for me but he has the potential to finish top 10. Which, would make him a valuable asset to have at tight end, especially in TE premium leagues.

He is this year's Tyler Higbee. I won't be touching him.

He's 30.

He failed with the Cardinals and Bills...who sure could have used a tight end. I'll give him a pass on Detroit because of Hockenson, but...still wasn't a factor there.

It took a combo of Haskins/Alex Smith/Kyle Allen/Taylor Heinicke to make him relevant. Doesn't that read like a list of QBs that just didn't want to target downfield? Meanwhile the Football Team has brought in Fitzpatrick, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, wants to get Gibson more involved in the pass game, drafted Gandy-Golden last year. This is not a team that wants Thomas to be a focal point.

Could he finish Top 10? Of course, after the Top 5 or so its a crapshoot, but I'm just unwilling to pay.

Except for the big contract extension them gave him. At his retraft price point (9/10 rd) I'm buying

Thomas got and extension and is much more athletic than Higbee. I think he's a TE 1 again this year. Maybe lower than top 5, but he should produce.

His success was almost solely because of the high # of targets. The targets will go down therefore we should expect lower production totals. I'm not buying him as a Top 8 TE. Curtis Samuel is getting attention in that offense.

Even if Thomas is that Top 8 TE the experts are saying he is... The TE8 just isn't a difference maker in fantasy football these days. The TE6 barely is.

That depends on your league size, it only takes 0.01 to win or lose a game.

You can use that point for literally anyone... TE premium is starting the become the standard and I only play in bigger leagues.

All that does for me is widen the gap between the elite Top 3 and all the rest. Hence why I've been ignoring the TE position and eating up all the midround WR value instead. Seems to be working for me.

Except you haven't played a game yet, so you really don't know if its "been working for you" it's just your strategy

Logan at te3 would have been rb 12 last season where te 8 was about rb22, yes there are a bunch of te's in the 2nd tier but if been seeing all of them go between rounds 6-8

Take this for what its worth, I'm a diehard Skins fan, follow their forums and all the training camp reports from fans there watching are incredibly encouraging. They say he looks like he's taken a huge step forward and Fitz is targeting him more than anyone else in red zone plays. I think he's top 5 this year, I really do. That dominant defense will ensure they have a lot of possessions, and as others have said, Fitzmagic will be a HUGE boom to all the Redskins offensive players (last year we had the worst QBr BY FAR in the entire league) Fitz doesn't have to be Brady, he just needs to be average, and it will make a huge difference. I'd be buying if the price was reasonable.

to put in perspective, I'm doing a best ball PPR redraft right now, and I took Thomas in the 8th round, over WRs like Gallup, Cooks, AB, and even ahead of Fant. I really do think he's one of those mid round gems that will be on a lot of league winners rosters this year. He finished 4th last year in our scoring, top 3 since week 6 when he started producing every single week.

I don't think people watched him much last year. He's really good.
