Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection He is out. The job is still his when he returns.
Depth/upside bet — WR role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
BuyThornton caught 10 passes for 135 yards in 2025, finishing WR148. He scored about 56% less than his touches said he should. Only 11 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
