| Derek Brown FantasyPros | The limited three-game sample we got with Thomas returning to the field last year was promising. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by another injury, but at least he resembled shades of his former self. Thomas had a 19.6% target share and a 33.3% endzone target share. Thomas wasn't a full-time player, though, as he saw only a 77.3% route run rate which could also speak to his health. If he wasn't fully healthy at any time last year, it would make sense for the team to limit his snaps some trying to conserve him. Thomas managed a 22% target per route run rate and 1.73 yards per route run. Those aren't mind-blowing numbers, but they are solid. With a strong red zone role, he could still produce a WR3 season with those peripherals. Derek Carr should offer an upgrade in quarterback play and overall efficiency of the offense in Big Easy this year. Thomas could turn into a high-floor option, but crafting an upside or ceiling scenario for him in 2023 is difficult. | After Week 3 last year, Donovan Peoples-Jones saw an uptick in his usage as he developed into a sold (not spectacular) weekly WR3. In Weeks 4-18, he handled a 19.3% target share and a 28.6% air yard share churning out 1.66 yards per route run. He was a WR3 or better in weekly fantasy, scoring ten times. With Elijah Moore in town, Peoples-Jones will see weekly competition to remain the number two/three option in this passing attack, even if we don't throw David Njoku into this conversation. Peoples-Jones is a WR5 that could walk right back into WR3 production if Njoku can't stay healthy and Moore flops. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | David Chao recently talked about Michael Thomas's outlook on WWL AM 870 and FM 105.3. I'll try and paraphrase the medical information. Thomas is recovering from surgery to fix a dislocated toe. The good news is that this injury is better than a more serious one such as a Lisfranc injury with regards to it reoccurring. The addition of Derek Carr should be a boon to the Saints' passing attack. The bad news is that Dr. Chau would have expected Thomas to be a full go by now (mid-May and he's not. That could mean he's encountered a setback. The fact that Thomas hasn't played much in several years is another obstacle when it comes to getting back into football shape. We'll know more as the season draws closer. As of now, I'm going to be cautious here. I don't like to hear the word setback when it comes to players rehabbing their injuries. Monitor this situation closely as the summer progresses. If Thomas can stay healthy, he has the ability to be a fantasy monster, but that's a big if. Stay tuned. | If you believe in DeShaun Watson, then you should believe in Donovan Peoples-Jones too. When Watson was in Houston DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller both did well. Yes, Hopkins is an all-pro, but Fuller is currently out of the league. One of Watson's strengths is the ability to buy time. That could lead to some big plays down the field. The Browns should pass it more this year too. There's no way they're paying Watson $230 million to hand the ball off. They're going to center the offense around him. And I expect Peoples-Jones to be one of the beneficiaries if he can hold off rookie WR Cedric Tillman. Remember, if you have a problem with other fantasy analysts ranking a player too low, don't take matters into your own hands. You take them to court, in our forum, The People-Jones Court. With the honorable Judge Ringo presiding. Sleeper. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 3/13 - He's pumped about Derek Carr's addition. Still huge risk, but at his price (100+), he's well-wroth a stab | 5/8: Between Eli Moore & Cedric Tillman, the team had clear desires to upgrade DPJ as the No.2... and he wasn't providing a ton of value even when he had that role on lockdown |
