Michael Thomas Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught seven of eight targets for 70 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Though he didn't play badly, the playoff loss is a disappointing end to a historic season for Thomas. The All-Pro set the NFL record for receptions with 149, posted the seventh-most receiving yards in a single season in NFL history, and matched his career-high with nine receiving touchdowns. It's scary to think that Thomas is still only four years into his career- there's room for him to get even better. His dominant 2019 should leave no doubt that he should be the first receiver taken in all draft formats, especially PPR.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas has a wonderful matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card on Sunday. Thomas recently broke the NFL's single-season receptions record, but he's also accrued 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns this year. He's arguably been the most steady source of fantasy points in the league. He'll draw Xavier Rhodes in coverage, and Thomas should have no problems exploiting the 29-year-old, who has struggled in coverage this season. Consider Thomas the top option in DFS, but you will pay for it, making your lineup a little tougher to construct. However, he should be well worth the investment.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught four of nine targets for 37 yards in a 42-10 blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers. Thomas had his worst outing of the year, though it didn't help that the Saints were up 35-0 at the half, eliminating the need to throw- or better yet, even play their starters. These types of games will be few-and-far-between for the 26-year-old, who had one of the greatest seasons ever for a wideout. His 149 catches are the most in a single season in NFL history while his 1725 receiving yards led the league and are the seventh-most in a single season in NFL history, along with nine touchdowns. Thomas and the Saints will await the winner of tonight's Seahawks-49ers game to see if they secure a first-round bye or not.
