New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. The 41-year-old Brees downplayed his presence on the Week 9 injury report."I'm 41 years old. I've got a lot of stuff going on. But I just keep ticking," Brees said. Even if he gets Thomas back in this one, Brees will be more of a QB2 against a Bucs defense allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to signal-callers. Thomas has been the ...

Halfway through the 2020 NFL season, things are getting repetitive. Once again, Michael Thomas doesn't play, along with nearly a dozen elite running backs. This siphoning of the RB position leaves the following people atop scoring leaderboards for the week: Giovani Bernard, DeeJay Dallas, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Zack Moss, Jamaal Williams, Justin Jackson, Damien Harris, Gus Edwards, Troymaine Pope. Those names were not cherry-picked. Those are all top 15 running backs (in PPR) for Week ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas returned to practice on Thursday, but he'll miss yet another game after tweaking his hamstring last week. The first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts in the first round in most leagues, Thomas has been a huge bust this season and hasn't played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 1. Fantasy managers will be hoping to get him back in Week 9 against the Buccaneers. ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday. Thomas still isn't a lock to return to action for the first time since Week 1, but this is definitely a positive development for his chances of playing in Week 8 against the Bears. A return to a full practice would really ease the mind of Thomas' fantasy managers, but either way, you're putting him back into your starting lineups if he's active on Sunday. The matchup against Chicago isn't an ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would be a solid play this week even against a tough Bears Defense due to his talent and predicted high volume in the passing game. Nevertheless, the WR is dealing with a hamstring and ankle injury and it's important to monitor his status heading into Sunday's clash to see if he will play.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Thomas tweaked his hamstring in practice last week and was unable to play, and he should be considered highly questionable to suit up in Week 8 against the Bears. The 27-year-old All-Pro wideout has been a huge bust for fantasy managers as the consensus top overall wideout heading into the 2020 season after his monstrous 2019 performance. With Emmanuel Sanders also questionable after ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) has had a disastrous start to the 2020 season. He suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and hasn't been back on the field since then, though his last two missed games were due to a fight with a teammate and a hamstring injury. Now, there seems to be speculation that Thomas could be on the trade block with the trade deadline approaching. It's hard to know how a trade would effect Thomas's fantasy value. He'd been a staple of ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) is in jeopardy of missing Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas has already been ruled out for Week 7 after tweaking the hamstring in practice on Wednesday, further complicating his status moving forward. The All-Pro wideout underwent an MRI that showed a Grade 1 strain, which is expected to keep him out for 1-2 weeks. It's another blow to what has been a rough year for Thomas and his fantasy managers. With Emmanuel Sanders ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. He will miss his fifth straight game. He is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that developed this past week. Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) was placed on the Reserve-COVID list on Friday and will miss the game as well, making the Saints extremely short-handed at receiver. Receiver Tre'Quan Smith and tight end Jared Cook get a boost in value in the game and ...
