4 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is one of the safest options out there in fantasy football. In four seasons, Thomas has averaged 150 targets per year and has never finished worse than the WR5 in PPR formats. He enjoys an elite-level connection with future Hall Of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, as the two share the highest completion percentage among QB/WR duos since the 2016 season. The presence of Emmanuel Sanders means the team won't have to lean on Thomas quite as much, though his elite efficiency should help to mask a potential decline in targets. He should be the first wide receiver off the board in both PPR and Standard formats.--Tim Capurso
