Michael Thomas was simply a nightmare for defensive backs in 2019. He finished with an NFL record 149 receptions, 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. Chris Godwin and Julio Jones tied for the second-most fantasy points by a receiver that season with 274.1. Thomas had 374.6.
By now you know the story. A rash of injuries kept Thomas largely off the field the next three seasons and the NFL community believes the 30-year-old has passed his prime as a result. They could be right. Thomas is reportedly healthy ahead of training camp but is far from being valued as a high-end fantasy asset, largely being taken in the WR40 range.
With that being said, if he's able to get out of the gates quickly and stay on the field, he may have the opportunity to become a star once again. Olave is expected to lead the Saints in targets, but Thomas is a worthy option in the middle-to-late rounds as you fill out your wide receiver depth.

 Taysom Hill not expected to play in Week 14
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Dec 9, 11:48 pm
|  | Saints’ TE Taysom Hill, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a foot and left-hand injury, is not expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source.
Saints’ TE Juwan Johnson, listed as questionable due to a quad injury, is expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Hill will be a big loss for the Saints offense who is already down wide receivers Michael Thomas and Rashid Shaheed. Chris Olave is dealing with an illness but expected to play. Expect a lot of Alvin Kamara in this game with Derek Carr at quarterback. Johnson is moderately interesting as a TE2 if you're in a desperate situation at the position.
| Michael Thomas lands on IR
Knee injury; earliest possible return would be Week 16
By: Doug Orth | Tue Nov 21, 9:40 pm
| | Saints WR Michael Thomas is going on IR (knee), per source. (Brooke Kirchhofer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: HC Dennis Allen hinted at this when he told reporters last week that Thomas was dealing with a significant injury. His absence figures to give Chris Olave more opportunities at the very least, although rookie A.T. Perry could benefit the most from a fantasy perspective if he replaces Thomas in the starting lineup. It is also possible Rashid Shaheed would have a slightly higher floor as well.
