Week 10 at Buffalo Bills
Michael Thomas caught 8-of-11 targets for 65 yards in the Saints’ Week 9 win over the Bucs. He led the team in receptions and targets, although the touchdowns went to Alvin Kamara and Ted Ginn. He had a 24-yard catch in the third quarter but the rest of the 41 yards came on his other 7 receptions.
Thomas now has 7+ receptions in five of his last six games but the touchdown and yardage numbers aren’t there. He’s also dealing with an ankle injury that limited him in practice this week. Still, he should play on Sunday when the Saints travel to Buffalo.
A big game should be coming. It might not come this Sunday, however, as New Orleans takes on a Buffalo defense ranked 11th against fantasy receivers this season. Ranked as our No. 5 WR, view Thomas a must-start this weekend.
