Thomas (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas received the questionable tag after he sat out practice Thursday and Friday with an illness, but he's been cleared to take the field Sunday. The 26-year-old caught three of four targets for 24 yards last week in Baltimore, and he's largely been unproductive in the passing game this season despite operating as Carolina's No. 1 tight end.

Thomas (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was unable to practice Thursday or Friday. If he doesn't feel better by Sunday, Thomas will likely cede the starting role at tight end to Tommy Tremble. Fellow tight end Stephen Sullivan is also questionable due to an illness.

Thomas (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was a new addition to the team's injury report Thursday. If he is unable to recover from his illness in time to play Sunday against the Broncos, Tommy Tremble will take back over the No. 1 tight end role, while Stephen Sullivan will likely be looking at an uptick in work.

Thomas caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' three catches marked a season high while his yardage total was his highest since Week 1. Despite still carrying low value ahead of this Sunday's matchup versus the Broncos, Thomas at least put together a decent performance by his standards in Week 11.

Thomas caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas and Tommy Tremble had nearly identical snap counts, yet the second-year pro finished with two grabs on four looks for 17 yards. With only four multi-catch outings this season, however, Thomas' spare usage in the passing game shouldn't come as a surprise.

Thomas caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has finished with either one or two receptions in every game this season. However, in topping 20 yards only twice and not yet finding the end zone through seven games, he carries minimal fantasy value.

Thomas caught both his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
While it was a very modest yardage total, it was good for the best performance of the day by any Panther not named Christian McCaffrey. Thomas has yet to haul in more than two catches or see more than three targets in a game this season, and the team's revolving door at quarterback -- Jacob Eason took over for P.J. Walker (neck) in the second half Sunday -- won't improve the tight end's chances of taking a step forward heading into a Week 7 tilt against the Buccaneers.

Thomas caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has now failed to top 15 receiving yards in any of his last four games, emphasizing his restricted value as more of a blocking tight end.

Thomas caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas overcame an ankle injury during the week to suit up Sunday, but fellow tight end Tommy Tremble played more snaps and caught a season-high three passes for 34 yards. Although another week could help Thomas return to full health, he nonetheless sports restricted fantasy value in a poor Panthers passing attack.
