Jordan Thomas (TE, HOU) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas only had four receptions for 91 yards entering last Thursday night’s showcase against the Miami Dolphins, but then Thomas put on a scoring show that DFS players that took a flyer on him must have thoroughly enjoyed as he hauled in two touchdown tosses from Deshaun Watson.

Starting Texans tight end Ryan Griffin has missed the last two games with an illness, but even if he does return against Denver this weekend you have to believe Thomas will be featured more often after his breakout performance. With supersonic speedster Will Fuller out for the season with a torn ACL, Thomas could emerge as a bigger part of the passing package for Watson, especially inside the red zone.
