Bills' Deonte Thompson: More journeyman journeys?
Deonte Thompson, who played eight games for the Cowboys this season before spending five more with the Buffalo Bills (he missed the finale with a toe injury), will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.Thompson, while still speedy, is primarily a depth receiver at this stage of his career and caught only 17 balls for 161 yards and no touchdowns last season. The Bills like him enough that they've had him for three different stints, but he'll be 30 next month and may be phased out as the team continues to rework the position group. At best, he'll end up as a No. 4-5-6 receiver in 2019.

Bills' Deonte Thompson: Another missed practice
Deonte Thompson (toe) missed practice for the second straight day Thursday.It's looking pretty slim the veteran will play in the Buffalo Bills' season finale, which would perhaps give rookie Ray-Ray McCloud a few looks as a depth option in the team's offense after being a healthy scratch for several weeks this season.

Bills' Deonte Thompson: Missing first practice of Week 17
Coach Sean McDermott said Deonte Thompson (toe) wouldn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.After exiting the Week 16 loss to the Patriots with the toe issue, Thompson will probably need to make it back to the practice field in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a shot at suiting up in Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins. If active for the contest, Thompson would likely rank as nothing more than the Bills' No. 4 option at wideout, a role that wouldn't lend itself to much fantasy utility.

Bills' Deonte Thompson: No immediate impact
Deonte Thompson was targeted three times in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but he didn't catch a pass and only saw 16 snaps on offense.The Buffalo Bills snapped up old friend Thompson after he was dropped by the Cowboys during Buffalo's bye week, but it looks like for now the team wants to get a look at younger, faster receivers in Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster, both of whom saw more time on the field than Thompson and had a far bigger impact in the game's outcome. Even with Kelvin Benjamin's role shrinking by the week, Thompson looks like the No. 5 or No. 6 option among wideouts at present, with a chance to try and stick with the team over the offseason.

Bills' Deonte Thompson: Reaches deal with Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills signed Deonte Thompson to a contract Wednesday.This will be Thompson's third stint with the Bills. He returns to the team after being cut loose by the Cowboys, with whom he appeared in eight games this season and hauled in 14 of 20 targets for 124 yards. Thompson adds depth to a Buffalo wideout corps that has struggled most of the season, but the group showed some life in the 41-10 win over the Jets in Week 10. As the season progresses, Thompson's fantasy upside hinges on his ability to develop chemistry with rookie quarterback Josh Allen. Until a connection on that front develops, the speedy wideout is off the fantasy radar.
