Michael Thomas Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) has had a disastrous start to the 2020 season. He suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and hasn't been back on the field since then, though his last two missed games were due to a fight with a teammate and a hamstring injury. Now, there seems to be speculation that Thomas could be on the trade block with the trade deadline approaching. It's hard to know how a trade would effect Thomas's fantasy value. He'd been a staple of consistency for fantasy owners on a yearly basis before this year's bizarre and unfortunate start. However, at this point, it seems as if a change of scenery for the star receiver could be welcoming news for both Thomas and the Saints.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) is in jeopardy of missing Week 8 against the Bears. Thomas has already been ruled out for Week 7 after tweaking the hamstring in practice on Wednesday, further complicating his status moving forward. The All-Pro wideout underwent an MRI that showed a Grade 1 strain, which is expected to keep him out for 1-2 weeks. It's another blow to what has been a rough year for Thomas and his fantasy managers. With Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) also expected to be sidelined in Week 8, it's becoming increasingly likely that the Saints will be without their top two wideouts for a second straight week. It's an incredible opportunity for Tre'Quan Smith, who should see more chances against a tough Panthers secondary.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. He will miss his fifth straight game. He is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that developed this past week. Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) was placed on the Reserve-COVID list on Friday and will miss the game as well, making the Saints extremely short-handed at receiver. Receiver Tre'Quan Smith and tight end Jared Cook get a boost in value in the game and running back Alvin Kamara should get all the work he can handle.
