Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Not targeted in loss
Thornton was not targeted in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Thornton logged 38 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps behind fellow receivers Tre Tucker and Tyler Lockett on Monday, but quarterback Geno Smith didn't look Thornton's way. Meanwhile, fellow rookie Jack Bech hauled in his lone target for 19 yards before returning to a reserve role. Through nine games played this season, Thornton owns a disappointing 6-98-0 receiving line.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Manages one reception on TNF
Thornton caught one of two targets for four yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.
Thornton, who was deemed a healthy scratch in Week 9, returned to the lineup Thursday after fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers was shipped to Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline. However, Thornton made several key mistakes in the prime time contest, including an offensive pass interference penalty on a would-be Tre Tucker touchdown, followed by a drop on an accurate deep ball down the right sideline. Nonetheless, Thornton logged 37 offensive snaps to Jack Bech's 14, and a much more promising matchup against the Cowboys awaits on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Will be active Thursday
Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Thornton will be active for Thursday's road matchup against the Broncos, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Thornton was a healthy scratch Week 9, but he now rejoins Raiders' the wide receiver rotation following the team's decision to trade Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville. The rookie fourth-round pick hasn't logged a catch across his last four regular-season appearances despite having drawn seven targets in that span. Across seven career games, Thornton has secured five of 19 targets for 94 yards.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Inactive Sunday
Thornton is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Thornton the odd man out in Week 9, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Tyler Lockett and Alex Bachman will handle the Raiders WR duties versus Jacksonville. Through seven games to date, Thornton has caught five of his 19 targets for 94 yards.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Fills in for Meyers
Thornton was unable to haul in any of his three targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.
Thornton actually had a pair of would-be first down receptions wiped out by penalties, but he ended the contest with a zero in the box score because of the flags. Nonetheless, his playing time surged with Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Brock Bowers (knee) sidelined, as Thornton logged 86 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps. Meyers is tracking to return after the Week 8 bye, so Thornton figures to continue competing with Jack Bech for the WR3 role.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Logs two offensive snaps in win
Thornton was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans.
Thornton played just two offensive snaps in the Raiders' comfortable win, while fellow rookie Jack Bech remained in the WR3 role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker. Thornton has gone three consecutive games without a reception, becoming an even tougher stash on deep fantasy benches with Las Vegas' bye approaching after a Week 7 contest in Kansas City.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Held catchless in loss
Thornton failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.
Thornton was held without a catch for the second straight game Sunday, and his 47 percent offensive snap share was his lowest mark of the season. Through five games, the rookie wideout has recorded just five receptions for 94 yards. Thornton's limited role in the offense makes him extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 22-year-old will have his next opportunity to produce when the Raiders host the Titans in Week 6.

Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: First game without a reception
Thornton was unable to haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.
Thornton posted a zero in the fantasy scoring column, while quarterback Geno Smith struggled to get much of anything going through the air, completing 14 of 21 pass attempts for just 117 yards. On a more positive note for Thornton, he continues to retain the WR3 role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with fellow rookie Jack Bech logging only five offensive snaps Sunday.
