Michael Thomas News
As expected, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) watched mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday from the sidelines on Tuesday. He has been rehabbing at the team's facilities throughout organized team activities and minicamp, but he hasn't been able to get back on the field after missing all of the 2021 season. The 29-year-old played in only seven games in 2020, too, but he was the best receiver in the NFL in 2018 and 2019. It remains to be seen if Thomas will even be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July, which continues to make him an extremely risky fantasy selection right now as a WR3. When he does return, he'll be fighting for targets with rookie first-rounder Chris Olave and veteran Jarvis Landry.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) isn't expected at upcoming minicamp. However, head coach Dennis Allen isn't concerned, commenting that he'd like the 29-year-old recovered fully from offseason ankle surgery before returning to the team. Thomas continues his rehab efforts, with the multi-time Pro Bowler recently advancing to running sprints, and he's likely to be ready for training camp. Nevertheless, while the wideout isn't a lock to be the fantasy juggernaut he was in the past, he still has a much higher upside than most.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is "doubtful" to be ready to participate in mandatory minicamp next week, according to head coach Dennis Allen. Thomas has been at the team's facilities this offseason, but he hasn't been able to practice at all and hasn't played since 2020 after needing another surgery on his troublesome ankle. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was an All-Pro in 2018 and 2019 when he led the league in receptions both years, and he had a league-high 1,725 yards and 107.8 yards per game in 2019. But he's a pretty big risk as a WR3 in fantasy this year, and there's a good chance he won't be ready for training camp next month. When healthy, Thomas will be competing for targets with rookie first-rounder Chris Olave and newcomer Jarvis Landry.
