Thomas has been added to the Saints' Week 16 injury report, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. The wideout is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons with a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has been on a roll of late, so this situation needs to be monitored closely, give that late injury report additions can be unsettling. Fortunately for those looking to use Thomas in Week 16 fantasy lineups, the Saints kick off at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Thomas brought in nine of 11 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season highs, and he also scored a touchdown for the third straight contest. The second-year wideout has posted 19 catches overall in the last pair of contests, and factoring in Sunday's production, he's now only the second player in NFL history with at least 90 catches in his first two seasons. Thomas will look to continue building on his strong season versus the Falcons in Week 16.

Thomas brought in 10 of 14 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas paced all pass catchers in receptions and yards while generating his second 100-yard effort of the season. The second-year wideout has touchdowns in back-to-back games and has seen double-digit targets in four of his last six contests. With a clear role as Drew Brees' No. 1 wideout, Thomas will look to exploit a vulnerable Jets secondary in a Week 15 home tilt.

Thomas caught five of nine targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a down performance in Los Angeles the previous week, Thomas and the rest of the Saints offense bounced back strong, albeit with Alvin Kamara once again leading the way. Thomas did lead the team in targets and receiving yards, also accounting for Drew Brees' lone touchdown pass, while Kamara and Ingram combined for three scores on the ground. Next up is a Thursday night matchup with an Atlanta defense that's done a nice job against opposing wideouts, though the Falcons may be without top cornerback Desmond Trufant (concussion) for a second straight game.

Thomas caught five of eight targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas has operated as a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option all season, and that notion certainly endured through Sunday's game. The issue seems to be the Saints' tendency to go away from its passing game in the red zone. In fact, Thomas hadn't seen a red-zone target in four games entering Week 12. He got one opportunity against the Rams, but was tackled at the three-yard line by cornerback Kayvon Webster. Expect more of the same from Thomas when the Saints host the Panthers in Week 13.

Thomas recorded six catches for 91 yards on 11 targets in Sunday's 34-21 overtime win against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas tied for the team lead in both catches and yards while leading New Orleans in targets. While the second-year receiver has topped 80 yards in six of 10 games, Thomas has only made two trips to the end zone after scoring nine touchdowns as a rookie.

Thomas recorded 117 receiving yards while catching nine of 10 targets during Sunday's 47-10 win over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas came up with his most productive game of the season, setting personal bests in both catches and receiving yardage. The running game dominated the day, but the second-year wideout was still prominently featured in the passing game, finishing with six more targets than the next closest teammate. Thomas' role as Drew Brees' top target affords him a solid weekly floor for production and he should be in line for another strong showing next week at home against the Redskins.

Thomas (ankle) doesn't have a designation in advance of Sunday's game in Buffalo, Herbie Teope of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Limited by an ankle injury both Wednesday and Thursday, Thomas returned in full Friday, effectively shedding any doubt about his ability to play Week 10. He'll thus act as the No. 1 option for Drew Brees against the Bills' 26th-ranked pass defense (250.3 yards per game).

Thomas (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
While Thomas has been limited in both of the Saints' first two practices to begin the week, the fact that he's merely participating should clear up most of the concern surrounding the wideout's health. Thomas dealt with a knee issue and was limited in back-to-back practices last week before practicing fully Friday and playing in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Buccaneers; the Saints will hope he follows a similar path in Week 10.

Thomas was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Last week, Thomas was afflicted by a knee injury, progressing from a DNP on Wednesday to an uninhibited practice Friday. On this occasion, the ailment has changed, but his ability to practice in the first session bodes well for his availability Week 10. Operating at less than optimal capacity Sunday against the Buccaneers, Thomas reeled in eight of 11 passes for 65 yards, so he's proved capable of effective stat lines, even if his health has been compromised.
