In four games played, Thomas has notched 10 catches on 14 targets for 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Since hauling in 61 receiving yards on three receptions in his debut with the Texans, he has failed to tally more than 50 receiving yards in the last three games.

He has been able to pick up a more consistent role in the last couple of weeks as he has notched at least three catches in each of the last two games that have been evident that the team is trying to work to get him more involved.
The final month of the regular season should be an opportunity for him to increase his role while proving to be a key in helping the Texans making a deep run in the playoffs.
