2 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring) has not played football since December 13th, 2020, but the expectation is that he will be on the field in Week 1. The 29-year-old was described as "looking like his old self," before suffering a setback from a hamstring injury. Fortunately, it does not appear this will limit him from participating against the Falcons in their season opener. The former offensive player of the year was extremely productive during his last full campaign in 2019, amassing 149 receptions for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. It is unreasonable to expect him to repeat these numbers in 2022, especially considering so much time has passed. However, he could still be valuable for fantasy football. Thomas will carry the risk of re-injury with him into the season and does have more target competition, including rookie Chris Olave and veteran Jarvis Landry. This makes him more likely to be a top-24 option if he can remain healthy, with additional upside if he can regain his form.--Josh Constantinou - RotoBaller
