Let's face it - as much as you try to build a strong team at all positions, you're winning each week based on the strength of one or two players that put up huge performances. The vast majority of champions from 2016 weren't won by guys with the best balance in their lineup or the safest first-round pick. It's the guys who took David Johnson in the second round or Matt Ryan in the 12th, scooped Jordan Howard or Michael Thomas off waivers, or "bought high" on LeGarrette Blount after [...]Keep on reading: Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Love/Hate

This article references Michael Thomas and more! New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was targeted a team-high eight times, but wound up with a mere 45 yards on five catches.

Thomas reaffirmed the fact he is the top target for Drew Brees, but he also will draw tougher coverage as the team's top receiving threat from on, as he did against Xavier Rhodes on Monday night. Thomas is still a low-end [...]Keep on reading: Michael Thomas Leads Way in Targets But Not Much Else

This article references Michael Thomas and more! New Orleans wide receiver Michael Thomas is the clear number one target for Drew Brees this season, but that also means drawing better cornerbacks on the other side. To start the year, he will likely be shadowed by Minnesota Pro Bowl cornerback Xavier Rhodes. Rhodes himself is looking forward to the matchup and relishing the chance to tackle former teammate Adrian Peterson. He will have his eyes squarely on Thomas, though, and acknowledged such.

He didn't parlay any into a big play, however, with a long of nine yards and a total of 27 receiving yards.

Infrequently does something equate to the feeling of having a late round sleeper pay off tremendously for your fantasy team. In similar fashion, nothing is more devastating than investing a top 30 pick on a player who underperforms consistently on a week by week basis. There?s no denying the value of running backs in fantasy football, as the position is extremely scarce in comparison to wide receiver. However, abundance doesn?t always link to value, as it is best to enter your draft knowledge[...]Keep on reading: Boom or Bust - Three Player Predictions for WR
