Jaguars TE Julius Thomas fractures his finger

Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas left tonight's game with a fractured finger. Thomas has a long history of injuries. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "The hope is it'll affect him minimally." It sounds like they expect him to attempt to play through the injury, instead of opting for surgery, which would cause a lengthy recovery.

Fantasy Analysis:

Well, it took one preseason game for Thomas to get injured. Not only have injuries been a concern, Thomas has missed as many games as he's played in throughout his career. This is exactly why drafting him as the TE6 is absurd.
