Zavion Thomas Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR148 at 0.6 PPR points per game.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Packers in Week 5 (10th against WRs) and the Falcons in Week 6 (3rd against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The Bears spent the 89th pick on Thomas, betting on track-meet speed rather than college production, and the bet is a gamble. His LSU profile is thin: a target share that sat in the 19th percentile and just 1.52 yards per route run, the kind of efficiency that makes the early selection a head-scratcher. At 5-foot-10 and 22 years old, he lands behind a reshuffled but still busy pass-catching room, and barring injuries ahead of him he has a steep climb toward weekly relevance.
The one real path is scheme. Ben Johnson reportedly wants a gadget role that mixes in backfield snaps, the same blueprint Green Bay used with Savion Williams. That could manufacture touches his route metrics never would. Still, Year 1 looks limited, and he is rostered in roughly 1% of leagues for good reason. Leave him on the wire and revisit only if his snap count climbs midseason.
