Michael Thomas Should See Plenty Of Targets Against Panthers
Dec. 12, 2018
.New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will head into Week 15 with 102 receptions for 1,218 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. Thomas will face a Panthers secondary that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to receivers, including four 100-yard receiving games since Week 11. Carolina has surrendered 10 touchdowns to receivers over their last six games and now must try and shut down one of the game's elite receivers. Thomas should be able to exploit this matchup in Week 15 and will be a WR1 option across all fantasy formats.
Michael Thomas Leads Saints With 11 Receptions

Dec. 6, 2018

Michael Thomas Sidelined Wednesday
Dec. 5, 2018
.New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not what his fantasy owners or the Saints want to see with the fantasy playoffs starting this week. Thomas is a must-start WR1 anytime he's on the field, and he has a great matchup in Tampa's soft secondary. If he plays, Thomas should bounce back after having just five catches for 40 yards in the Week 13 loss to Dallas. If this injury keeps him out, New Orleans would be down to rookies Tre'Quan Smith and Keith Kirkwood as their top two receivers, which would downgrade quarterback Drew Brees' high-end QB1 upside.

Michael Thomas A WR1 Despite Tough Week 9 Matchup
Oct. 30, 2018

Thomas' production has cooled off after a three-game start to the season that produced 38 receptions, 398 yards and four touchdowns.

Los Angeles has also allowed 10 different receivers to score 10 or more fantasy points against them over their last six games. Thomas is a must-start in most fantasy formats for Week 9.

Michael Thomas To Battle Stingy Ravens In Week 7
Oct. 16, 2018

The Saints offense can struggle playing outdoors and on the road and Thomas recently racked up only 47 yards against the Giants in New York. Thomas will be the top option in the passing game for the Saints but they could look to lean on the running game in what should be a tight scoring game. Thomas is a must-start but could fail to crack the top-15 among wide receivers in fantasy for Week 7.
