The New Orleans Saints could go receiver-heavy in this year's draft, and one such wideout that they would consider late in Round 1 is TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor. Reagor would give the Saints plenty of speed at the position while also giving the team depth behind Deonte Harris as a kick and punt returner. If New Orleans doesn't go receiver in the first round, then linebacker will be a position that they'll highly consider. Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders will be the Saints top two ...

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had one of the greatest seasons we've ever seen by a running back, and he did all of it with backup quarterbacks.However, for every success story, there are always people on the opposite end of the spectrum. Those are...

After a very interesting season of fantasy football action, many owners were left with a bitter taste in their mouth from a few of the elite NFL wide receivers.While Michael Thomas dominated and Julio Jones was his usual reliable self, not all was good if you played it safe by taking a receiver early. Who wouldve thought that guys like D.J.

The Minnesota Vikings Defense had a superb game in the 26-20 overtime win in the Wild Card round over the New Orleans Saints. Danielle Hunter forced a fumble which Jalyn Holmes recovered, Anthony Harris notched his seventh interception of the year, and the Hunter/Griffen combo combined for 3 sacks on the day.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught seven of eight targets for 70 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Though he didn't play badly, the playoff loss is a disappointing end to a historic season for Thomas.

It's scary to think that Thomas is still only four years into his career-...

First-team All-Pro Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) wasn't listed on the team's final injury report, which is clearly a huge boost for this defense. However, the prospects of Saints quarterbackDrew Brees and wide receiverMichael Thomas going against an injury-riddled, poorly-rated secondary don't ...
