Ian Thomas Week 15 Outlook - Seahawks at Panthers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Dec 9th 2019, 11:56am EST

So much for that timeshare talk. Thomas saw 10 targets against the Falcons with Olsen out of the lineup, hauling in five passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. He played 61-of-71 snaps, so you can say he's a full-time player. Stay tuned for updates on Olsen's status, but we'll go forward as if it's another week with Thomas as the starter. The Seahawks have allowed nine different tight ends to hit double-digit PPR days against them, with each of them finishing as top-14 options in those weeks. They're the opposite of the Panthers, as teams have gravitated throwing to tight ends against them, averaging 9.3 targets per game to the position (3rd-most). It's a recent problem for them, too, as Tyler Higbee finished with 7/116/0, Kyle Rudolph 4/50/1, Zach Ertz 12/91/1, ad Dallas Goedert 7/32/0 have shown over the last three weeks. If Olsen is out again, Thomas is back on the low-end TE1/high-end TE2 radar.
