Michael Thomas finds end zone in return from ankle injury

Michael Thomas (WR - FA)

Michael Thomas snared five of his seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in a first-round playoff win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact
After nearly a full month off Thomas looked fresh and ready to return to form. He was able to generate some yards after the catch to plunge into the end zone in the first quarter and showcased his chemistry with Brees on a 38-yard fade in the third. Although Deonte Harris surprised by leading the team in yards and receptions today, Thomas sits firmly atop the Saints depth chart again and should make for a solid play next week in a divisional rematch with the Bucs.
