Quick answer
Buy lowThornton caught 19 passes for 438 yards in 2025, finishing WR73. He scored about 6% less than his touches said he should. Path runs WR145 → WR172 → WR73 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. Only 4 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
