Wide receiver Mike Thomas will have better coaching wit...

Apr 10, 2012

Wide receiver Mike Thomas will have better coaching with Jerry Sullivan and a better supporting cast with Laurent Robinson, Taylor Price and, presumably, a high draft pick in the mix.

Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. has said Thomas can combine attributes of Wes Welker and Steve Smith.

But many Jaguars fans were left wondering about Thomas last season, when he fell off after he got a contract extension in early October. That three-year, $18 million deal included $9 million guaranteed. It eclipsed the three-year deal worth $13.35 million with $5 million guaranteed that Green Bay gave Jordy Nelson.

Word in Jacksonville was that Thomas gave up late in the season, frustrated by a bad receivers coach in Johnny Cox and a struggling rookie quarterback in Gabbert. Cox was fired by interim head coach Mel Tucker and replaced by quarterbacks coach Mike Sheppard.

Jets WR Davante Adams misses Wednesday practice with illness and wrist soreness

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Out, Mac Jones In for Week 11

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is out again this week, per coach Doug Pederson. Mac Jones starts again at Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

In Mac Jones' first start, the Jaguars managed only 7 points while the quarterback took 22 pass attempts to reach a 111-0-2 stat line. This is a downgrade to all Jaguars pass-catchers, while Jones is unplayable in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders day-to-day with foot/ankle injury

Panthers RB Miles Sanders, who was carted off with a foot/ankle injury in Germany, is considered day-to-day after extensive tests and a visit with an expert, sources say.

They want the swelling to go down, and he could miss a little time. But as of now, not considered major.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Jonathon Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

Even with the Panthers Week 11 bye week, it's hard to envision much of a role for Sanders moving forward, with Brooks slated to become a part of the offense after the bye. Even if Brooks doesn't see the field, Sanders shouldn't be held on any fantasy rosters right now.
