Made it through the game. All systems go going forward I would imagine. Lets go.

Agreed. First game back and game script kept any high end numbers down, but he looked like Michael Thomas and the high volume appears to be there for him. All systems go.

Surprised at the lack of chatter in here. Is he washed? He's too young to be washed but maybe its the injuries? Or just the weird gameflow last 2 weeks?
NO plays ATL 2 of the next 3 weeks so I will continue to play him obviously. Waiting for the boom weeks though.

Other than Kamara, the Saints really didn’t throw the ball.

I didn't' really watch the game but seems like NO passing game was fairly limited all around last two weeks. I'm actually seeing Winston as a lateral move at worst. Guy will just sling it and had no problem throwing picks while turning Evans & Godwin into superstars.

I think he might be riding the pine on my team next week. Bust of the year candidate for sure.

I am not going to bench him at this point, but he is killing me. Match ups look good and Winston might be an improvement.

In Redraft you gotta cut him and move on. You'll feel better.

We're in the Dark as to when injuries were why he wasn't on the field, when his Covid Anxiety Disorder went into full force because that's my excuse for why he is having off field or close to off field issues with teammates etc, he's never been like this. When was it actually a hammy or leg or whatever the injuries have been, info hard to get straight.
Then you have Brees getting knocked out of the game so it's hard to gauge with Winston in there trying not to throw interceptions.

Yeah I will just roll out the other reliable wrs on my team. *Checks roster to see what AJ Brown, Fulgham and Fuller did this week*. On second hand, I can hold on to MT for a bit longer.

I'm getting close to finding room on my roster to elevate Tee Higgins and playing him or Claypool over MT. And this is after I traded a king's ransom for MT in the offseason .....

Atlanta coming up next 2/3 games, I’m not only holding him but starting him.
What's up? Am I supposed to rub in your face that Dobbins hasn't done crap? He was the other big piece right? Maybe worry about your own team. I still think MT will outscore Godwin the rest of the year.

How big of a hit is Taysom to MT? I have options..

Truthfully, it would be difficult to get much worse than it has been, statistically.

Starting Mike Davis over him this week. What a disaster of a season. Maybe he salvages if/when Brees returning for fantasy playoffs.

Well, to be fair, Demaryius Thomas had some big games with Tebow under center in Denver, including that 80 yard TD to beat the Steelers in the playoffs.
So, you're saying there's a chance?
I'm just saying that, theoretically, it couldn't get much worse than it has been for MT the last couple of weeks, and Atlanta is a juicy matchup.

Dang, I was hoping for a big week from Thomas. Now he rides my bench.

Rolling with AJB and the Steelers combo of Diontae and Claypool.

That's true. I also don't believe for a second that Winston throws less than 25 passes in this game, outside of injury.

Just traded Montgomery and Fuller for him. Hoping he's at least consistent from here on in.
tombonneau
Footballguy
I disagree with this take. With Hill at center they could throw 15 passes if they get a lead. Way too risky and I see no upside barring broken coverage or Jameis plays.

I hope Atlanta jumps out to an early lead
barackdhouse

Agreed. I have no doubt that Hill will play a lot. But Winston is going to throw the ball a lot. Regardless of who comes in the game on the first play.Razors Edge said:

if Hill plays most of the game at QB MT is toast. Hill is not a QB. He's a gadget.

Playing devil's advocate here, but could it really get much worse than it has been? MT has been toast all year. Maybe, Hill can actually spread some jelly on it.
Demaryius Thomas did have some huge games with Tebow under center, you know. May regret it, but gonna roll MT out one more time against a putrid pass D, with a prove it or lose it mind set. If not this week, then burnt toast he is.

Maybe not the total death knell it seemed.

Hill and Winston can both drive the ball down field more than Brees at this point. Plus defenses will focus more on the run game with Hill in there, opening up passing lanes a bit.
Thomas looked open quite a bit today. Could have had an even bigger game. Good sign for the remainder of the season.

I was in full panic mode. I’m off the edge now.

Took 11 weeks and a QB change, but things are suddenly looking up for the home stretch for those that bought or held.
We all knew that MT was/is a certified stud WR, so it makes me wonder if the schism from last summer's blow-up between them, about the National Anthem and kneeling, really created a chemistry issue, both off and on the field.

Michael Thomas (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
It's a little hard to know what to make of this, as the Saints are one of the league's most opaque teams when it comes to injury information. What we do know is that this has not been Thomas' recent routine. We suppose he should be considered genuinely questionable for Sunday's showdown with the Chiefs, but even a "limited" session on Friday would have him fully on track to suit up. Managers alive for the fantasy semifinals need to be monitoring the situation, but it is not yet time to panic.

Brees. Leggoooo.

Yeah but wasn't Thomas hampered with his injury earlier in the year with Brees? I'd say a healthy Thomas and healthy Brees > anything we've seen with Hill and Thomas...
