Quick answer
Buy lowThomas caught 13 passes for 114 yards in 2025, finishing TE74. He scored 5% more than his touches said he should. After a rough middle year (TE102), TE74 looks like a reset worth tracking. Played a short 2025 (9 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
