2 years agoCarolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas operated as the team's TE1 last week and will go on the road to face the New York Giants in Week 2. Thomas was only targeted three times in Week 1, but turned one of his two receptions into a 50-yard gain and was brought down just shy of the end zone. Tommy Tremble is also competing for tight end duties in Carolina but ran clearly behind Thomas, who out-snapped him 35-to-18 in the season opener. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has frequently targeted tight ends throughout his career, so Thomas' utilization going forward is something to keep an eye on. For now, he can be left on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of redraft leagues.--Jorden Hill - RotoBaller
