Darius Slay's Injury Isn't Serious rotoballer.com Mon 12/7/20 12:57 PM
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) left the team's Week 13 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he's not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. It's good news for an Eagles secondary that will have a tall task against the Saints in Week 14. If Slay can get in some practice time this week, he'll likely be tasked with trying to slow down wide receiver Michael Thomas, who put up his second 100-yard game of the season on 11 targets in the win over ...
Michael Thomas Has 105 Yards rotoballer.com Sun 12/6/20 6:01 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas ended Week 13 with nine receptions for 105 yards on 11 targets. Thomas is the only reliable receiver on this Saints offense and has produced even without Drew Brees under center. In two of the past three games, the talented wideout has gotten at least nine receptions, 11 targets, and over 100 yards. With such a rich role and great consistency, Thomas is a strong start in the coming weeks.
Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Good To Go rotoballer.com Fri 12/4/20 5:01 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) are both good to go for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both players were full participants in Friday's practice after the Saints held them back on Wednesday and Thursday for maintenance reasons. Kamara had previously hauled in at least five receptions in eight of 11 contests this year, though the presence of Taysom Hill at quarterback has limited his upside. He should be looked at as a low-end ...
Michael Thomas A Low-End WR1 rotoballer.com Thu 12/3/20 8:50 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a low-end WR1 this week. Thomas is still dealing with his ankle injury but managed to put up four receptions for 50 yards on six targets last week. With Taysom Hill under center, the passing game is not expected to be explosive, but Thomas' role as the WR1 on the team should help him in regards to a high number of targets. The Falcons allow the fourth-most points to fantasy WRs, so Thomas is in a solid spot to deliver.
Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Limited Thursday rotoballer.com Thu 12/3/20 6:11 PM
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) were both limited participants in Thursday's practice. Both Thomas and Kamara have had their practice reps capped in each of the past two weeks as they continue to deal with their respective injuries. There's nothing to suggest that they won't be on the field come Sunday, though fantasy managers would be wise to keep a watchful eye on Friday's injury report. Both players should be in fantasy lineups if...
Michael Thomas Has 50 Yards rotoballer.com Sun 11/29/20 9:11 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had four receptions for 50 yards on six targets in the Week 12 win over Denver. It was a quiet day for the New Orleans passing game as the rushing attack was dominant, but Thomas still had a decent outing compared to the rest of the pass-catching unit.

Because of his role ...
Michael Thomas A WR1 Against Broncos rotoballer.com Wed 11/25/20 5:38 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a WR1 against Denver on Sunday. He is currently still nursing that ankle injury that caused him to miss several games, but there is no sign right now that he is in danger of missing the game. Thomas posted his best numbers of the season last week, getting nine receptions for 104 yards on 12 targets. It was also a great sign that he had rapport with QB Taysom Hill. As he is bound to draw a number of targets due to his role as the WR1 on the ...
Michael Thomas Tallies Game-High Receiving Numbers rotoballer.com Sun 11/22/20 6:44 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught nine of 12 targets for 109 receiving yards in a 24-9 win over Atlanta. Thomas exploded on the scene with this performance, his best of the year so far. He was the apple of new starter Taysom Hill's eye, as no Saints' receiver came even close to his 12 targets. It could have potentially been an even bigger day, as Thomas dropped a wide-open, 25-yard pass. Still, this was the type of player fantasy managers thought they were getting. He may ...
Michael Thomas More Of An Upside WR2 rotoballer.com Fri 11/20/20 7:52 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas has a juicy matchup on tap in Week 11 against the Falcons. However, there's just a lot of uncertainty around Thomas right now, particularly surrounding his quarterback situation. There were already some question marks about his potential effectiveness with Jameis Winston, but now it will reportedly be Taysom Hill- who has 18 career passes- throwing him balls. Thomas should be downgraded slightly because of the risk with Hill under center. ...
Michael Thomas Has 27 Yards rotoballer.com Sun 11/15/20 11:36 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had two receptions for 27 yards on seven targets in the Week 10 win over the 49ers. In his second contest since returning from injury, Thomas certainly had a disappointing outing. Nevertheless, he has seen at least five targets in all three games that he has played this year, and as the WR1 on the team, he will continue to see the looks going forward. This keeps him in the WR1 tier weekly.
