Carson Wentz will be under center when the Washington Commanders will play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Week 1 of the NFL season. For fantasy managers, especially in tight-end premium leagues, the most intriguing “What if?” can be found with seventh-year TE Logan Thomas. After appearing in only six games in 2021, the talented 31-year-old could return from his ACL injury in Week 1. Here’s what we know.

Logan Thomas (knee) is Ready to Go for Week 1
Per John Keim, Logan Thomas (knee) is ready to go Sunday against Jacksonville.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas has been limited in practice this week but will suit up Sunday. The 31-year-old suffered a season-ending ACL tear and only appeared in six games in 2021. Thomas currently ranks as the TE28, according to FantasyPros. It may still be best for fantasy managers to wait a week to see how Thomas looks and opt for a safer play in Week 1.

What the Experts are Saying
Logan Thomas isn’t sure if he will be suiting up in Week 1. That’s enough to take him out of consideration for our lineups. Even if he does give it a go, it could be in a limited capacity against a team that held tight ends to the ninth-fewest receiving touchdowns and 14th-fewest fantasy points per game last year.
