Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas has been a non-factor in practices and appears to have chemistry issues with QB Ryan Tannehill, according to Omar Kelly of the Sun-Sentinel.

Fantasy Tip: The Dolphins are hoping that Thomas can be the weapon he was in Denver and not the bust he was in Jacksonville, but the early returns don't sound encouraging. You can stash him as a TE2 in case he returns to form, but don't count on him being a fantasy starter.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas has the chance to be a 10-touchdoown player if he can stay healthy, according to offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas has played well when he is healthy, but the problem is that he has not played more than 14 games in any season since entering the NFL. He should have a solid role in the passing game this upcoming season and probably should be considered as a No. 2 fantasy tight end because of his injury history.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas is going to be a big part of the Dolphins' offensive plans in 2017, according to QB Matt Moore.

Fantasy Tip: A big reason for the excitement surrounding Thomas is that he is reunited with Adam Gase. Thomas easily produced the best football of his career in Denver when Gase was the Broncos' offensive coordinator. Healthy has been an issue for Thomas, though. If he can stay on the field he has TE1 upside, but he's better drafted as a TE2.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas is "going to be a thing this year" if he stays healthy, according to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, who reports the team has drawn up multiple plays just for him.

Fantasy Tip: The unofficial start date of Thomas' hype train began the day he was traded to Miami to reunite with Dolphins head coach Adam Gase, who ran the offense in Denver when the former basketball player tallied 24 touchdowns in 27 games from 2013-14. Thomas' biggest hurdle for most of his career has been durability, so he stands a great chance of returning to the TE1 ranks if he can stay healthy in an offense that will make sure he is an important weapon in the red zone.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas' chemistry with QB Ryan Tannehill appears to be a work in progress at this point during offseason workouts, in the opinion of The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas will have training camp and the preseason to build chemistry with Tannehill, so owners should not be worried about the situation. Thomas should be a valuable fantasy option for owners as long as he is healthy and can be a low-end No. 1 option.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas is familiar with the offense, according to offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen, and Christensen said head coach Adam Gase knows how to use Thomas "extremely well" from their time together with the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Tip: There is no doubt that Jacksonville badly misused Thomas the last two seasons, but injuries are also a major concern with the tight end. He is worth a look as a low-end TE1, but you will want to have backup plan in place.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas can add "10, 12 touchdowns" to the Dolphins' offense in 2017, according to offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen.

Fantasy Tip: It's a highly optimistic and, quite likely, unrealistic projection given Thomas' injury history, the fact he isn't playing with Peyton Manning anymore and Miami's focus on running the ball with Jay Ajayi. It is quite likely, however, Thomas does emerge as Ryan Tannehill's favorite red zone target, so he could have low-end TE1 upside.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas told the Florida Times-Union recently this spring "is probably the best I've ever felt" and that head coach Adam Gase's offense "feels a lot like home".

Fantasy Tip: Gase was the offensive coordinator in Denver when Thomas posted back-to-back seasons of 12 receiving touchdowns, so the 28-year-old tight end certainly has reason to be optimistic if he is as healthy as he says he is. With Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills taking defensive attention away from him at receiver, Thomas could be poised for a nice rebound in 2017.

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said TE Julius Thomas is "going to make a little bit of a difference for us." Gase also said he has a "good idea" of what the club wants to do on offense with him.

Fantasy Tip: When Gase and Thomas were together in Denver, the latter was arguably the most productive tight end in all of football, accumulating a whopping 24 touchdowns in 27 games as a starter. By comparison, Thomas didn't even score ten times combined over his two years with the Jaguars, but injuries played a role in that as well. The 28-year-old will have great potential as a sleeper in Miami.

Miami Dolphins TE Julius Thomas restructured his deal, turning his contract into a two-year deal worth $12.2 million with $7.5 million guaranteed.

Fantasy Tip: There are a lot of mouths to feed in Miami's passing attack, and even if he can stay healthy, Thomas will have a tough time being more than a TE2 in 2017.
