Michael Thomas Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. Thomas is coming off a great game against the 49ers' league-best pass defense, in which he saw a season-high 15 targets. Double-digit targets are a lock for Thomas again this week, considering how much stronger the Colts have been against the run than the pass. New Orleans may also be without tight end Jared Cook (concussion), which would free up some more targets for Thomas. Fantasy owners of the All-Pro receiver should have him locked into their lineups this week.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas hauled in 11 of 15 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Thomas had a decent stat line through three quarters- then the fourth quarter happened. The All-Pro wideout had five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter alone. His crunch-time production included a beautiful, over-the-shoulder 49-yard grab, which ultimately led to a Thomas touchdown a couple plays later. It was a great rebound effort for the 26-year-old, who will look to keep it up in Week 15 against a beatable Indianapolis Colts secondary.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will face the stingy San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. The 49ers have allowed only 134.2 passing yards per game this year, best in the NFL. Despite this, one receiver has posted at least 50 yards or scored a touchdown in eight games against the 49ers this year. Considering how involved Thomas is, he should be able to eclipse 50 yards. He has the lowest upside of virtually any WR1 this week and has some risk, given that Drew Brees may struggle to put up good numbers. Still, Thomas has been the best fantasy asset at wide receiver this year. It's realistic to expect him to at least reach 15 fantasy points, even against this defense.
