Week 16 vs. Atlanta Falcons
After 14 catches in two games, Ian Thomas was held to just two reception off of four targets and 14 yards on Monday night against the Saints. In what was a defensive struggle, neither team excelled offensively, and Thomas and the rest of the Carolina passing attack suffered as a result.
This week, Thomas has some upside against the Falcons, but with Cam Newton’s shoulder keeping him out for the final two games, it’s going to be difficult for anyone in Carolina to excel. Due to the matchup and his role in the offense, Thomas should be considered a viable streaming option for desperate owners, but hopefully, there are other options available.
