No. 4 – TE Logan Thomas

It’s incredible how much Logan Thomas has developed in just one season with the Washington Football Team. At the beginning of the year, he was a marginal starter, with clear limitations regarding his play strength, toughness, and natural receiving ability.

Now, he routinely makes tough catches every week, and he’s morphed into a legitimate go-to weapon for the Washington Football Team. Even when Terry McLaurin isn’t making as much of an impact, Thomas still has the ability to make plays over the middle.

Saturday may present an opportunity for Thomas. The Buccaneers’ rangy linebacker Devin White will not be playing. Thomas will still have to deal with Lavonte David, of course, but it’s better playing against one Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker than two.

Thomas also has a five-inch height advantage on David, and given how much he’s grown this season, he’ll have throws come his way. As his touchdown catch against the Eagles displayed, Thomas has grown into his role as a No. 1 tight end. Now, it’s time to take that role to the next round.
