Thomas caught four of his team-high eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Arizona.
In addition to his surprising team lead in targets, the 32-year-old tight end played 82 percent of snaps on offense, not far behind WRs Terry McLaurin (89 percent) and Jahan Dotson (87 percent). The Commanders undoubtedly want more of the targets going to those two, and the Cardinals were a particularly good matchup for the tight end, but Thomas could still average a handful of looks per week or even slightly more if he's able to stay on the field. A trip to Denver in Week 2 marks the start of what could be a stretch of tough matchups however, as the Commanders subsequently face the Bills in Week 3 and the Eagles in Week 4.
