Expert Note
View More NotesWith Cooks out of the equation, Thomas could see a bump from the 121 targets he saw during his rookie season. If he continues at this efficiency or better with 150 targets, he would enter the disscussion as one of the elite receivers in football.

Michael Thomas led the Saints in receiving with a 28-yard reception on his only target in the victory over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas is locked in as the Saints' number one receiver and is looking to build on a solid rookie year. He is being drafted as a WR1 and is going at a great value in the second round. He may creep up to the back end of the first round with the suspension of Ezekiel Elliott, but he is as solid as they come so he is still worth the draft-day price. Barring injury to him or Drew Brees, he should be a WR1.
