Cleveland Browns
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Browns had several defensive needs and took care of free safety early in free agency when adding Thornhill, a four-year veteran with a load of big-game experience in the Chiefs' secondary. Under new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Thornhill will reprise the role he held in Kansas City -- as a roving deep cover safety capable of making game-changing plays (three picks in 2022) for a team that ranked 23rd in turnovers last year. The Browns are going all in this year, and Thornhill's playoff experience is expected to help transition Cleveland into a legitimate postseason threat. Read Past Outlooks

March 11, 2024
Thornhill posted 54 tackles and one pass defensed over 11 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Thornhill had a noticeable drop-off in production from his days with the Chiefs. Both the team and the player expected more after Thornhill signed a three-year deal a year ago, and the Browns need more of his previous version this coming season. There was a nagging calf injury, and he may never have been completely healthy. Thornhill is expected to rejoin Grant Delpit (groin) on the back end of the Browns' defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Predicting All-Pro campaign
SKansas City Chiefs
June 27, 2022
Thornhill feels fully healthy this offseason for the first time since his rookie year and thinks he's ready to fill the shoes of Tyrann Mathieu in the Kansas City secondary, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and while he has yet to miss a regular-season game in his career, Thornhill has played through numerous minor injuries. With Mathieu now in New Orleans, Thornhill has a chance to emerge from his shadow and predicts he'll be able to put up numbers worthy of a berth on the All-Pro team.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
After a rookie season during which he graded out highly in pass coverage and reasonably well in the other facets of the game, Thornhill's second season marked a bit of a step back in that regard. He finished out 2020 with just 41 tackles (33 solo) and turned in only one interception after notching three as a rookie. Even so, Thornhill should claim a hefty role at the back end of the Chiefs' defense again in 2021.
Thornhill's rookie season couldn't have gone much better, as the rookie finished out the year with the Super Bowl champs having amassed 58 tackles (42 solo) and three interceptions (one for a touchdown) over 1,012 defensive snaps. When healthy, Thornhill should resume his duties alongside Tyrann Mathieu, though Daniel Sorenson could play a larger role early if Thornhill isn't ready to open 2020.
