Commanders ruled out TE Logan Thomas for Sunday’s game vs Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: John Bates, Cole Turner

Fantasy Impact:

When Thomas left early in Week 2, Bates (18) and Turner (12) would end up running a similar amount of routes, combining for five receptions. Neither of them should be started this week, but Bates would be the better bet for the truly desperate.

Commanders TE Armani Rogers did, in fact, tear his Achilles yesterday, source said following his MRI. He plans to have surgery next week from expert Dr. Robert Anderson and should make a full recovery. But out indefinitely.

Related Players: Logan Thomas, John Bates, Cole Turner

Fantasy Impact:

Rogers was a 2022 UDFA who had a decent amount of playing time during his rookie year, but didn't get a ton of run at receiver, turning in a 5-64-0 campaign. This may open the door to more playing time for 2022 fifth-rounder Cole Turner, who logged 245 snaps last year, with a majority of those coming in run blocking.

Washington activated TE Logan Thomas from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform List.

Related players: John Bates

Fantasy Impact:

Now it will be a race to get ready for Week 1. Thomas had a nice year in 2020 before getting hurt in 2021. He caught 72 balls for 670 yards and six TDs. A lot of that production came over the final five weeks, including catches of 9, 6, 13 and 7 from Weeks 12-15. He also collected 44 of his 110 targets during that four-week span. Obviously he was poised for a huge year in 2021 before tearing his ACL. The potential is still there for 2022, assuming he can get back up to speed. He'll have some late-round value as a TE2 with TE1 potential if things go right. If he's not ready, Bates would be next up.
