Summary

Tyquan Thornton carries a 78.0 dynasty score, ranking 85 at WR. He recorded 438 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in 2025, and his dynasty score is expected to rise with another year of growth at age 26 with 1 year remaining on his contract.

Projection Rationale

Thornton’s 438 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in 2025 indicate a rising production trajectory. He ranks 35th percentile in production and 72nd percentile in usage, suggesting he will continue to see increased targets and opportunities. With 1 year remaining on his contract, Thornton’s role security is secure, and his ceiling depends on the Chiefs’ passing game efficiency.

Injury Risk

Thornton suffered injuries in Weeks 16 and 17 of the 2025 season, which is concerning given his 57th percentile durability grade. His age (25) and durability concerns raise his injury risk profile.

Opportunity Notes

Thornton’s snap share trended down in 2025, averaging 41.8% of the offense’s snaps, but he remains a key contributor to the Chiefs’ passing game. There is no clear competition for his role.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Eric Bieniemy coordinates a west coast offense with a 57.6% pass rate and 80.0% shotgun rate, which suits Thornton’s skills as a receiver. The offense’s pass-happy nature may limit his ceiling, but his role is secure.

Trend Assessment

Rising: Thornton’s dynasty score is trending upward due to his increasing production, as evidenced by his 35th percentile production grade and 72nd percentile usage grade.

Ceiling / Floor

Thornton’s ceiling is WR2-WR3, requiring significant growth in his receiving yards and touchdowns. His floor is WR5-WR6, as his trade value suggests a moderate drop in production would put him in a lower tier.
