Quick answer
BuyThornton caught 11 passes for 219 yards in 2026, ranking WR39 through 4 games. The running rank is WR39 through 4 games, from WR73. Don't treat that like a season finish. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
