Add Logan Thomas: The Commanders tight end put together his best game of the season with five receptions for 65 yards, leading the team in both receptions and yards.

  • His playing time has been relatively consistent all season when he’s healthy, although the Commanders haven’t give him as much playing time as he received back in his prime with the team.
  • Washington was rotating players out more than usual in general in this game. Terry McLaurin finished with a season-low offensive snap rate, and Jahan Dotson played more than last week but still less than expected.
  • Usually, someone with only one good game on the season and this little of playing time wouldn’t be on fantasy radars, but Thomas is boosted by his schedule and the number of tight end injuries in recent weeks.
  • His next three opponents are the Falcons and the Giants twice.

Consider Teagan Quitoriano in dynasty leagues: The Texans’ fifth-round tight end continues to see more playing time on offense.

  • Brevin Jordan was a healthy inactive for the second straight week.
  • Quitoriano first started to see playing time in Week 9 after a knee injury kept him out during the first half of the season.
  • He was primarily used as a blocker in his first two games, running only four pass routes in each outing.
  • He ran several more pass routes in this game, taking more of the team’s snaps in 11 personnel.
  • His increased playing time didn’t lead to any production, as he didn’t catch his only target.
  • Quitoriano is Houston’s only tight end who both played in this game and is under contract for 2023. There is a chance he’s the team’s top tight end in 2023 and could take on that role later this season.
  • He probably won’t be a factor in fantasy football this season, given the state of the Texans’ offense.


Table Notes

Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.

Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.

Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
