All told, six of the top 25 fantasy players in the league were sidelined for Week 3.That left us with a lesser slate of stars than we are used to.Exciting matchups and finishes ...

Michael Thomas Improving, No Guarantee For Week 4 rotoballer.com Sun 9/27/20 9:56 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is improving and has a chance to practice next week ahead of a Week 4 matchup with the Detroit Lions. The team is being very cautious with Thomas and they do not want him out there unless he's 100 percent, so this is no guarantee for his status against Detroit. Thomas has a 2-4 week timeline for his injury and Sunday's game is the second contest he's missed. It's very possible he practices this week and still doesn't play in Week 4. ...
Michael Thomas Ruled Out For Week 3 rotoballer.com Fri 9/25/20 5:35 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. Thomas will miss his second straight game as he continues to deal with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered late in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The All-Pro wideout hasn't practiced yet since spraining his ankle, though there was a sliver of hope that he would be available for last week's game. If that's the case, there's probably a realistic shot at this point that Thomas is ...

It was a bloodbath in the fantasy streets, especially for a lot of player's popular early-round selections. Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Davante Adams, Raheem Mostert, and Courtland Sutton all face injuries that put their week 3 in doubt, joining Michael Thomas and George Kittle among many, many others from week 1.The good news?

How do we handle Michael Thomas’ injury in fantasy football? profootballnetwork.com Thu 9/24/20 7:16 PM
As the undisputed top wide receiver in fantasy football entering this season, the expectations were undoubtedly high for Michael Thomas. Unfortunately, a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 1 has already caused him to miss this past weekend’s game, and he may be on his way to this being a multi-game absence. So how do fantasy […]
Michael Thomas Misses Practice Again rotoballer.com Thu 9/24/20 4:21 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) missed another practice on Thursday. Thomas has missed the last two days of practice this week and is likely to miss his second straight game as he tries to return from the dreaded high ankle sprain. With the Week 3 game on Sunday night against the Packers, there's even more reason to give up hope in using Thomas this weekend. Emmanuel Sanders proved in Week 2 that he can't be trusted with Thomas out of the lineup, as he had just one ...
Michael Thomas Absent At Practice Wednesday rotoballer.com Wed 9/23/20 5:08 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday while he tries to recover from a high ankle sprain. Thomas missed the Monday night loss to the Raiders and could miss several more weeks. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to get the All-Pro receiver back in Week 3 against the Packers. As we witnessed against Las Vegas, you can't really count on New Orleans' other receivers in Emmanuel Sanders or Tre'Quan Smith in the absence of Thomas. This game has ...
Michael Thomas Ruled Out Against Raiders rotoballer.com Sat 9/19/20 4:41 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. There was a "glimmer of hope" that Thomas would be able to suit up a week after suffering a high-ankle sprain, though that was probably false hope at best. This is ideal for fantasy managers because now they can pivot to options on their bench from Sunday's slate of games. Fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders and tight end Jared Cook should see a larger share of targets...
