In the preseason, Dont'e Thornton generated a lot of hype for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The big rookie wide receiver caught an impressive touchdown from Geno Smith that set off a lot of hype.
So far this season, though, Thornton hasn't always been that present.
The Raiders keep playing him, but he hasn't done a ton so far.
On Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11, that was again true early on.

Is Dont'e Thornton playing tonight?
Yes, Thornton is on the field Monday night.
He wears jersey number 10 and has played on double-digit offensive snaps through halftime.
The Raiders haven't targeted him yet, though.
Three WRs had targets from Geno Smith in the first half: Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett and Jack Bech.
Thornton was still on the field in the first drive of the second half, but he still didn't get thrown to. Smith is throwing a ton to tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty, too.
