Michael Thomas Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a WR1 in Week 7, despite a tough matchup against the Bears. Through six weeks, Thomas checks in as fantasy football's WR2 and has seen at least 12 targets in consecutive games. The former Ohio State star faces a Bears Defense that ranks eighth in points allowed to opposing wide receivers. Thomas could see double-digit targets for a third week, as the Saints will potentially be without star running back Alvin Kamara, who is battling an ankle injury. Thomas should get plenty of opportunities in this contest, especially if Kamara is unable to play.

Michael Thomas hauled in 8 catches for 89 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's 13-6 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey wasn't active in Week 6, and Thomas went to work exposing the Jags secondary. Teddy Bridgewater didn't take many deep shots, and when he did, they mainly fell in Ted Ginn Jr.'s direction, which kept Thomas's ceiling capped. Thomas's stranglehold over New Orleans' target share won't be changing anytime soon, so expect him to continue dominating in the weeks to come.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught a team-high eight of 12 targets for 89 yards in his team's Week 6 win. Thomas was leaned on in the second half after an already-hobbled Alvin Kamara tweaked his knee. The star wideout has a good rapport with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, though the two failed to connect in the red zone a couple times. Nevertheless, Thomas continues to thrive in the Saints offense and will look to continue his success against the stingy Chicago Bears Defense in Week 7.
