 The first tight end we're in agreement with and that's Ian Thomas who's definitely the best player off the wave or wider That you can grab and immediately plug in your lineup. Why should fantasy owners know the name Ian Thomas? Well, they should know the name Ian Thomas because I talked about him last week So why what took you so long to buy into Ian Thomas? We needed the Gregelson injury obviously to open up the the production here at the opportunity for Ian Thomas But if you look at what he's done, I mean just this past week Played on 82% of the snaps. He's coming off a game with 11 targets guys 11 targets for a tight end is phenomenal In fact the 11 targets led all tight ends in week 14 across the NFL He has at least five receptions and 46 yards in back-to-back games Dating back to week 13 when Greg Olson left that game early Cam Newton has typically always targeted the tight end somewhat in this offense You know what when it was it was Greg Olson when he was healthy throughout his career Cam Newton always threw to his tight end Ian Thomas now stepping in playing a ton of Playing up a ton of snaps seeing a lot of targets and going up against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night with a 52-point game total I know the Saints have been stout against tight ends all season long But they just faced Cameron Bray and allowed to receiving touchdowns those were only two catches But that's all we care about we need touchdowns from the tight end position So Ian Thomas based on how often he's being used how often he's on the field I like him on Monday night football against the New Orleans Saints The Panthers in general have seemed to try to get younger a little bit and try to use their more talented and athletic players That's why you've seen more of Curtis Samuel more of DJ Moore And yeah, since Greg Olson has been injured more being Thomas who has just definitely come on throughout the season Cam trusts him, which means you should trust him if you're desperate at tight end And I know all of us are and maybe Jen Jalen same as doesn't start this week here in need of one Ian Thomas very well could be your guy
