Me too. Can’t risk the bad game. Hammy’s are bad. He could pull at any time and will be out of the game.That is my choice as well...after Collins being subpar yesterday I am not in a great spot...leaning Thomas right now...but still have 45 minutes to stew over it...

Michael Thomas looks fine from up here in the press box, doing a lot of dancing.
I'd feel better about this if I wasn't hearing it in my head in the Tim Meadows voice from the Norm McDonald sketch about Mark Brunell.Saints beat reporter:
"Michael Thomas looks like he's feeling pretty good. Dancing his way through warmups."
martavius and CJA IMHO
Thanks. That’s where I’m at as well. I need the floor more than the upside in these 2 leagues.In general, it's worth sacrificing some number of expected points in order to play it safe if you'd be favored even with your backup in the lineup (although I am disregarding this advice myself and going with Thomas based on positive reports from warm-ups).
If you're the underdog, you should risk it and go with Thomas.
Well I split the difference. I know WAS stinks vs Run but I just don’t trust Anderson. He is so up and down. MT in lineup over CJA. Crow, Gordon. Fingers crossed.Thanks. That’s where I’m at as well. I need the floor more than the upside in these 2 leagues.
Of course I’m having visions of AB a few weeks ago on my bench (when supposedly was unlikely to play) then going for 25 points costing me division and spot in championship in one league.
Won’t know til Tuesday but looks like this backfired ($400 and a title).Well I split the difference. I know WAS stinks vs Run but I just don’t trust Anderson. He is so up and down. MT in lineup over CJA. Crow, Gordon. Fingers crossed.
Sure would be. Work has sucked though...and between extra long hours and that long drive just couldn't swing it these last couple yearsIt was Hilton for me. No more WW, though I still have Hogan. Ooooof.
Merry Christmas R. Miss you in the FBG league, which is still going strong with 15 teams this year. Auction catered by Urban BBQ. Enticing?
Michael Thomas nabbed seven-of-13 targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in the Saints' Divisional Round loss to the Vikings.
Thomas got off to an inauspicious start on Sunday. He caught just two passes in the first half and wasn't even targeted until the second quarter while being shadowed by All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes. But Thomas would not be denied in the second half, burning Minnesota for 54 yards after halftime as the Saints erased a 17-point deficit, only to lose on the game's final play. He beat Rhodes on his first touchdown, a 14-yarder, before schooling Terence Newman on a three-yard slant for his second score of the game. Keyshawn Johnson's nephew only scored five touchdowns during the regular season but went over 1,000 yards for the second straight year while setting a team record with 104 catches. He should be one of the first receivers off the board in fantasy drafts next summer.
So much for everyone who was worried about his upside. Score one for the Daily Norseman!Michael Thomas had the 3rd most receptions this season with 104. He now has 196 catches in his first two NFL seasons which is the all-time best, beating out Jarvis Landry who had 194 total receptions in 2014 and 2015.
I saw he broke the record. I never would have guessed the record holder was Jarvis Landry. Seems more like an indication of the recent state of the NFL more than some amazing all time accomplishment.https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/articles/fantasy-football-25-wr-statistics-2017/

Stats through their first two seasons:I saw he broke the record. I never would have guessed the record holder was Jarvis Landry. Seems more like an indication of the recent state of the NFL more than some amazing all time accomplishment.
Not disputing that Thomas is a beast and I'm happy to have him as a keeper for next year. Just that this "record" isn't as impressive as I thought it was at first blush.
I get all of that. I'm just commenting on the difference between someone breaking a record held by a Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, etc., and someone breaking a record held by....Jarvis Landry. If you break a record set by Jerry Rice, you have my attention. If you break a record set by Jarvis Landry...Stats through their first two seasons:
Thomas: 196 rec, 2382 yards, 12.2 YPC, 14 TD
Landry: 194 rec, 1915 yards, 9.9 YPC, 9 TD
Landry is unquestionably very good at what he does, but he's a pure slot guy, nothing more. Thomas not only plays the outside but has had to function as both the #2 / chain-mover when Cooks was there, and the #1 / primary target after he left. IMO that makes his breaking the record all the more impressive.
What if Jarvis Landry breaks Jerry Rice's record then that's broken by Michael Thomas?I get all of that.

For what it's worth, numbers 3 through 6 on that list are OBJ, Marques Colston, A.J. Green, and Fitz - two sure-fire HOFers and one guy who's widely considered one of the top three active players at the position.I get all of that.

Really? That seems like a stretch. (i presume you don't mean Colston).Mr. Irrelevant said:For what it's worth, numbers 3 through 6 on that list are OBJ, Marques Colston, A.J.

Product of the era? Of course, since all these names are from the 21st century. Doesn't change the fact that it's some damn impressive company to be in.
Yikes, did not know there was an issue. I don't like tha- especially if it is some kind of lingering hamstring issue.Rapoport tweeted yesterday that he "avoided the PUP list". Obviously that's a good thing but I didn't even realize it was a risk,
Any word on the injury - can't still be the hammy from last December, which is the last news I saw above?

Quite the statement.
By November.This guy is such a solid anchor for a ff squad. He may catch 130 balls this year.
