New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas had a huge day in his team's 26-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The All-Pro receiver caught 13 of 14 targets for 152 yards and routinely burnt Atlanta's corners with his excellent route running. Thomas benefited from Brees not looking downfield that often, as he racked up fantasy points on short pass after short pass. He has 86 receptions, the most in NFL history through a team's first nine games. Up next is a matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas draws an excellent home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. The All-Pro receiver enjoyed a bye last week and still paces the NFL in catches, 73 and receiving yards, 875. Thomas is the only player who has 15+ fantasy points in every game this season, showing just how safe his floor has been. He'll face off with a Falcons secondary that ranks 30th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. In a game with shootout written all...

In most fantasy leagues, there are just five weeks left before the playoffs begin. Time is running out. Let's take a look at the top fantasy scorers (standard scoring) at each position thus far... Deshaun Watson leads all QBs with 229.8 fantasy points at 28.7 points per game. Do-it-all back Christian McCaffrey is the highest-scoring running back (167.8 points). Michael Thomas (110.6 points) leads all receivers, while tight end Austin Hooper (89.1 points) leads the thin tight end position. If you...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas picked up right where he left off with quarterback Drew Brees in Week 8. Thomas caught all 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old receiver beat Pro Bowl corner Patrick Peterson's coverage several times in this one and broke Peterson's tackle to get into the end zone. Thomas has had double-digit targets in four straight games and is on pace for 146 catches, which would be an NFL record. The Pro Bowl wideout will get a nice ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas should maintain his usual high floor despite perhaps his toughest cornerback matchup yet in Week 8. The 26-year-old receiver will square off with eight-time Pro-Bowler Patrick Peterson, who made his return to the field last week against the New York Giants. Thomas comes into the contest averaging a healthy 11 targets per game and currently leads the league in catches and receiving yards. He'll likely be shadowed by Peterson on the outside but ...

In Week 7, a good number of the wide receivers that registered top-12 production were not the usual cast of characters. The No.1 wide receiver on the week was Marvin Jones who turned four of his 10 catches into touchdowns. Zach Pascal scored two touchdowns finishing as the No. 2 receiver on the week, while Alex Erickson had the best game of his career, finishing as the No. 8 wide receiver. Studs such as T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyreek Hill, Michael Thomas and Allen Robinson all had solid ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught nine of 11 targets for 131 receiving yards against the Chicago Bears. The fourth-year veteran was unguardable in this game, at times catching passes with three or four defenders in his vicinity. Thomas was a featured part of the offense with starting running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) and starting tight end Jared Cook (ankle) unable to play. Games like these demonstrate Thomas' sky-high fantasy floor, as he failed to find the end zone yet ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a WR1 in Week 7, despite a tough matchup against the Bears. Through six weeks, Thomas checks in as fantasy football's WR2 and has seen at least 12 targets in consecutive games. The former Ohio State star faces a Bears Defense that ranks eighth in points allowed to opposing wide receivers. Thomas could see double-digit targets for a third week, as the Saints will potentially be without star running back Alvin Kamara, who is battling an ankle ...

Michael Thomas hauled in 8 catches for 89 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's 13-6 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey wasn't active in Week 6, and Thomas went to work exposing the Jags secondary. Teddy Bridgewater didn't take many deep shots, and when he did, they mainly fell in Ted Ginn Jr.'s direction, which kept Thomas's ceiling capped. Thomas's stranglehold over New Orleans' target share won't be changing anytime soon, so expect him to continue dominating in the weeks to come.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught a team-high eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in his team's Week 6 win. Thomas was leaned on in the second half after an already-hobbled Alvin Kamara tweaked his knee. The star wideout has a good rapport with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, though the two failed to connect in the red zone a couple times. Nevertheless, Thomas continues to thrive in the Saints offense and will look to continue his success against the stingy Chicago Bears ...
