Fantasy Impact:

It's been a rocky few months for the Saints and their star receiver, including an incident where Thomas was benched for punching a teammate last season. There are reports from earlier this week that Thomas was frustrated about the timing of his ankle surgery, leading to no communication with the team for three months. The Saints need to do everything in their power to resolve this situation because they have a thin WR corps without Thomas, and the team will incur $20 million in dead cap if they trade him.
