Thompson signed a contract with the Jets on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson played in 13 games in 2018 while with the Cowboys and the Bills, totaling 17 receptions for 161 yards on the season. If he makes the Jets' final roster in 2019 it will likely be as a depth receiver and special teams player.

Thompson, who played eight games for the Cowboys this season before spending five more with the Bills (he missed the finale with a toe injury), will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson, while still speedy, is primarily a depth receiver at this stage of his career and caught only 17 balls for 161 yards and no touchdowns last season. The Bills like him enough that they've had him for three different stints, but he'll be 30 next month and may be phased out as the team continues to rework the position group. At best, he'll end up as a No. 4-5-6 receiver in 2019.

Thompson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson missed each day of practice this week. The Florida product sustained the injury during last week's loss to the Patriots. In Thompson's absence, Da'Mari Scott and Victor Bolden could each see increased workloads.

Thompson (toe) missed practice for the second straight day Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It's looking pretty slim the veteran will play in the finale, which would perhaps give rookie Ray-Ray McCloud a few looks as a depth option in the offense after being a healthy scratch for several weeks this season.

Coach Sean McDermott said Thompson (toe) wouldn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After exiting the Week 16 loss to the Patriots with the toe issue, Thompson will probably need to make it back to the practice field in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a shot at suiting up in Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins. If active for the contest, Thompson would likely rank as nothing more than the Bills' No. 4 option at wideout, a role that wouldn't lend itself to much fantasy utility.

Thompson is questionable to return to Sunday's game with a toe injury.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Thompson's toe injury is not yet well known. With Thompson temporarily sidelined, Da'Mari Scott and Victor Bolden could see a small increase in workload. More details regarding Thompson's injury will likely surface after Sunday's game.

Thompson was targeted three times in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but didn't catch a pass and only saw 16 snaps on offense.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills snapped up old friend Thompson after he was dropped by the Cowboys during Buffalo's bye week, but it looks like for now the team wants to get a look at younger, faster receivers in Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster, both of whom saw more time on the field than Thompson and had a far bigger impact in the game's outcome. Even with Kelvin Benjamin's role shrinking by the week, Thompson looks like the No. 5 or No. 6 option among wideouts at present, with a chance to try and stick with the team over the offseason.

The Bills have signed Thompson.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Thompson's third stint with the Bills. He re-joins the team after being released by the Cowboys following eight games this season, in which he hauled in 14 of his 20 targets for 124 yards. Thompson adds depth to a Buffalo wideout corps that has struggled most of the season, but did show some life in Week 10's 41-10 win over the Jets. As the season progresses, Thompson's fantasy upside hinges on his ability to develop chemistry with QB Josh Allen, but until a connection on that front develops, the speedy wideout is off the fantasy radar.

The Cowboys released Thompson (ribs) on Friday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After inking a deal with the Cowboys in March, Thompson was beset by Achilles and shoulder injuries during the offseason program and preseason, released on cut-down day Sept. 1, and re-signed three days later when Noah Brown (hamstring) was placed on IR. Dallas activated Brown to the 53-man roster Friday, which necessitated a roster move. Thompson was the casualty, ending his Cowboys tenure with 14 catches (on 20 targets) for 124 yards and no touchdowns in eight games.
