Will Julius Thomas become fantasy-relevant again this season?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are listing Julius Thomas as questionable to face the Tennessee Titans. He is dealing with an ankle injury that prevented him from practicing Tuesday.

This issue has been lingering the last few weeks, but Thomas did at least get in a limited workout on Wednesday and has not missed any games due to it. He probably will play Thursday, but that does not mean you should start him in fantasy football.

Thomas has been a major disappointment this season, catching just 16 passes for 196 yards and two scores. He has caught just seven passes for 61 yards and one score over the last three games.

Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Thomas as the 12th-best tight end in Week 8. He faces a Titans defense allowing the 11th-most fantasy points to tight ends this season.

Even with a favorable matchup, Thomas is someone you should not start in any league this week, and you should consider cutting him as well.
