Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton hauled in two passes for nine yards and a touchdown during Thursday’s preseason opener against the Giants. New England ultimately lost to New York on a field goal as time expired. The final score was 23-21.
Fantasy Impact: Thornton is known for his blazing fast speed, but he showed his versatility by successfully running shorter, physical routes against New York. He should have no trouble opening up opportunities for the offense in his rookie season. Even in a busy wide receiver room, Thornton could generate some low-end fantasy relevance in deeper leagues as soon as 2022.
