Fantasy Impact: Thomas finished tied for first in targets on the afternoon. Even though he failed to find the end zone, his huge amount of yardage provided plenty of points for his owners. His still isn't getting many red zone looks. Eric Decker saw several against the Patriots, managing to grab one for a touchdown. Thomas hasn't scored since Week 2, but his explosive ability will keep fantasy owners happy regardless, it seems. He is a solid start every week.
