Risk Flags
4- Draft Capital
Thomas went undrafted in 2026 despite declaring from Georgia, meaning the Bengals have zero draft capital invested in his development. UDFA wide receivers face extremely long odds to stick on a 53-man NFL roster.
- Target Competition
Cincinnati's WR room is headlined by Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, with Andrei Iosivas, Colbie Young, Mitchell Tinsley, and Charlie Jones all ahead of Thomas on the depth chart — there is no realistic path to targets in 2026.
- Production Concerns
Thomas recorded only 16 catches for 254 yards and 4 TDs in his lone season at Georgia after transferring from Texas A&M — paper-thin production for a dynasty WR prospect, raising real separation and route-running questions.
- Roster Security
As a UDFA behind two stars and a drafted rookie, the most probable outcomes are a final-cut release or a practice-squad stash with negligible dynasty relevance.
