Michael Thomas Tallies Game-High Receiving Numbers
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught nine of 12 targets for 109 receiving yards in a 24-9 win over Atlanta. Thomas exploded on the scene with this performance, his best of the year so far. He was the apple of new starter Taysom Hill's eye, as no Saints' receiver came even close to his 12 targets. It could have potentially been an even bigger day, as Thomas dropped a wide-open, 25-yard pass. Still, this was the type of player fantasy managers thought they were getting. He may not dominate the target share moving forward, though it's safe to say that Hill trusts Thomas. The All-Pro receiver will be among the WR1 ranks next week against a bad Denver secondary.
