Agreed. He's better in real life than for fantasy this season. In fantasy, his upside has been capped by the strength of the NO defense and running game. It seems like every week Thomas is playing for 3 quarters and they ice the game in the 4th.
7th in my league. Can’t say I’m upset in the least.14th in ppr here, should move into the top 10 after today.
In standard leagues he is still in the top 20 WRs for the season. There is production, just not enough because of the TDs. If he is "barely rosterable", where do you have him ranked going forward?
Since he's barely rosterable, please cut Michael Thomas from your team so you can stop posting this nonsense in the Michael Thomas thread.
Lol ok. I can't think of any league that wouldn't roster a guy who's averaging a double digit floor every week.
You believe correctly. He's #9 in my league. Ahead of JJ, Evans, Dez, etc. I have no regrets taking him and even without the TD's he is as safe a bet to set and forget as any other player.
The TDs aren't there. He is on pace for more targets, catches and yards than last year.
Here's 2017's preseason ADP. I'm having a much harder time with the guys in Bold. Michael Thomas is the least of my worries.
I think the percentages say that he almost has to finally find the end zone. It's been so frustrating. When you see the score change and the Saints scored a touchdown. Check the app. It's Ginn or Coleman or Ingram or Kumara. Then you look at the drive and Thomas had a 24 yard reception to help get them there. Just got to keep plugging him and in and crossing your fingers. And realize there's a real good chance that he's only getting you points for his 70 yards.
I didn't say you did. But the bolded seems to indicate that you don't believe he should be rostered (or barely so) in standard leagues. Whether or not you think Matthews or Richardson are rosterable in that format is debatable, I guess, but your statement seems to strongly indicate as much.
True, Thomas also had some decent weeks against Atlanta last season. He plays them in weeks 14 and 16. Points will be scored.
I think Thomas is a WR1. Fantasy wise the Saints are running the ball a lot more this year. Thomas still usually gets the most targets every week on his team, but Brees has overthrown him several times, especially in the endzone.
Actually the onus is on you to specify that your comment pertains to short bench standard TD heavy leagues, not on everyone else to figure it out.
I can't think of any circumstances where you'd drop him. He's a disappointment at his draft position, but there certainly isn't anyone more productive on the waiver wire.
the only thing holding him back is lack of touchdowns - he has 3 redzone targets this year and that is because Brees is throwing it much less near the goal line.
You have to admit it was a very .......odd argument he was making
And making it very vociferously to boot
if he is shadowing him. Trufant is usually on the right side of the field 90% of the time, Thomas should run half his routes on the other side
