Making progress
Coach Dennis Allen noted that the Saints feel good about where Thomas (ankle) stands in terms of his injury rehab, but acknowledged that there's "still a few hurdles" ahead for the wideout.
Analysis: With that in mind, it seems as though Thomas -- who didn't play last season -- will be limited to some degree upon his return to the field. However, in the absence of any setbacks in the coming months, the 29-year-old appears poised to reclaim his spot atop the Saints' wideout depth chart which was recently bolstered by the team's selection of Chris Olave with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

On track to return
GM Mickey Loomis noted Thursday that Thomas is on track to return to the mix in 2022 after not playing last season due to a left ankle injury that required surgery, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
Analysis: "We're expecting to have Mike back," Loomis said of Thomas, who was the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2019. "His progress hopefully is going well, and the reports are that it's been going well. I know he is certainly motivated; Michael is always motivated, so that's not an issue." While the Saints expect Thomas back this coming season to provide a boost to their pass-catching corps, which wideouts the 29-year-old -- who is signed through 2024 -- will be working alongside in 2022…read more

Reworks contract
Thomas (ankle) restructured his contract Saturday to create nearly $14 million in cap space for the Saints, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The deal adds an extra two voidable years to Thomas' contract, but more importantly this almost guarantees the All-Pro wideout will play for the Saints next season. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported last week a reconciliation between both parties seemingly occurred after months of reported tension between player and front office. Thomas, who is still rehabbing his ankle after a second surgery in the last 12 months, is expected to be healthy in time for the new campaign.

Reconciliation possible?
Thomas, who was rehabilitating his left ankle injury in New York for most of the 2021 season, has returned to New Orleans and is expected to play next year, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: It seemed almost a foregone conclusion Thomas' tenure with the Saints would be coming to a close this offseason considering the organization's significant hierarchy upheaval, a looming cap-room crisis and what had been by all accounts a rather frigid relationship between the two-time All-Pro wide receiver and the franchise since the former underwent a second surgery on his ankle in July. While it's entirely possible the Saints could still look to deal Thomas given so much uncertainty regarding…read more

Could require another procedure
Saints head coach Sean Payton acknowledged Wednesday that Thomas could require another procedure for his left ankle, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports. "I think this isn't anything he can control," Payton said when asked about the wideout's potential need for surgery, after Thomas announced earlier Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he wouldn't play this season.
Analysis: Payton said that Thomas had been "working his tail off" to return at some point during the second half of the season after spending the first eight weeks of the campaign on the reserve/PUP list, but those hopes were dashed after the three-time Pro Bowler recently experienced what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network described as "a new and separate" injury to the same ankle. Thomas initially injured the ankle early Week 1 of last season and proceeded to miss the next six games, only to aggravate the…read more

Done for season
Thomas announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he won't play this season after experiencing what he described as a "small setback" in his rehab from offseason left ankle surgery.
Analysis: Thomas' decision to rule himself out for 2021 comes after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Wednesday that the wideout suffered a "new and separate" injury to the left ankle that left him without a clear timeline to return. While Thomas didn't elaborate on the severity of his setback, it was evidently significant enough for him to rule out a return to the field in the next two months. After playing only seven games in 2020 due to the same ankle issue that later required surgery,…read more

Hits snag in recovery
Thomas recently experienced a "new and separate" injury with his surgically repaired left ankle, making it uncertain when he'll be ready to return from the reserve/PUP list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas has been sidelined all season after undergoing the ankle procedure in June, but he's been eligible to rejoin the Saints since Week 7 after spending the requisite six weeks on the PUP list. Over the past two weeks, the Saints haven't offered much indication that Thomas is getting closer to practicing, and Rapoport relays the wideout's timeline to return to the field remains "unpredictable" after he recently met with a foot/ankle specialist in the wake of his new injury. If and when he…read more

Not expected to return yet
Thomas (ankle) still is multiple weeks away from a return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas began the 2021 season on the PUP list after undergoing left ankle surgery, making him eligible to return as early as Week 7, but it appears as though the star wideout will require a bit more time to rest before resuming practice activities. As the Saints come off a Week 6 bye and look toward a Monday night matchup in Seattle, it appears that Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris (hamstring) once again are in line to serve as Jameis Winston's top wideouts.

Shifts back to reserve/PUP list
Thomas (illness/ankle) was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He's still on the reserve/PUP list, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Thomas was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in September after a number of Saints coaches tested positive for the virus. Given the star wideout was already expected to miss the first six weeks of the season while recovering from June ankle surgery, the designation shouldn't dramatically change his recovery time. Thomas is first eligible to return Oct. 25 against the Seahawks following the team's Week 6 bye.

Shifts to reserve/COVID-19 list
Thomas (ankle) was transferred from the reserve/PUP list to the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. He tested positive for the virus, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston.
Analysis: Thomas becomes the first Saints player to go on the COVID-19 list after the Associated Press reported earlier Tuesday that six unidentified New Orleans coaching staff members and one player tested positive for the virus. Provided he doesn't experience any overly severe symptoms, Thomas' timeline for making his 2021 debut shouldn't be affected.

Officially on reserve/PUP list
Thomas (ankle) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Analysis: As Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Tuesday, Thomas landed on this reserve list, which will sideline him for at least the first six weeks of the campaign. The Saints have a bye Week 6, meaning Thomas will be eligible to return Week 7 in Seattle on Monday, Oct. 25.

Likely headed for PUP list
Thomas (ankle) likely will be placed on the PUP list, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With a four-month timeline estimate after June surgery, Thomas was a strong candidate for the PUP list all along. In this case, the move will rule him out for only five games instead of six, as the Saints have an early bye (Week 6) in 2021. Assuming this move becomes official Tuesday or Wednesday, the star wideout will be ineligible for games until Week 7 at Seattle (Oct. 25).

Ahead of schedule
Coach Sean Payton said Thomas (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his rehab from June surgery, Luke Johnson of The Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas attended the Saints' preseason opener Saturday in Baltimore, the first time reporters had seen him with the team since June minicamp. It's been an interesting summer between the delayed surgery, cryptic tweets and trade rumors, but Thomas does seem to be doing well with his rehab and at least has maintained a working relationship with the Saints for the time being. He'll still miss the early part of the regular season, with most reports earlier this summer putting his timeline at around…read more

On trading block?
The Saints could be open to trading Thomas (ankle), Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Reportedly, there is tension between Thomas and the team that may stem back to Week 1 of last season when the receiver injured his ankle while the Saints were comfortably ahead of the Buccaneers halfway through the fourth quarter. Thomas then allegedly "blew off" the New Orleans medical staff this offseason before finally agreeing to undergo ankle surgery in June, which head coach Sean Payton negatively commented on in public only for Thomas to seemingly fire back on social media. While Charles…read more

Has backing of team
Saints GM Micky Loomis says the team supported Thomas' plan to treat his ankle injury with rest rather than surgery at the beginning of the offseason, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Player and team seem to have been in agreement on a decision that ended up backfiring. Thomas apparently didn't look healthy at June minicamp, and it was decided afterward that he'd finally get surgery on the ankle that's been bothering him since Week 1 of last season. Given the timing of his ankle surgery -- which reportedly comes with a recovery estimate of four months -- Thomas likely will be out through September and perhaps into October or even November. The Saints should have open…read more

Officially placed on PUP list
The Saints moved Thomas (ankle) to the preseason PUP list Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Thomas is expected to be sidelined through September, so this move was expected to occur for training camp. Barring an acceleration of his timeline, he may sit on the list throughout camp and the preseason and be a candidate to open the regular season on the PUP list as well. Tre'Quan Smith figures to headline the Saints' wide receiver corps in his absence, with Deonte Harris, Marquez Callaway and newly-signed Chris Hogan potentially factoring in.

Unlikely to play in September
Thomas (ankle) is expected to miss at least the first month of the upcoming season and may not be back to full strength until November or December, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Numerous reports have mentioned a four-month timeline for his recovery from June ankle surgery, but injury expert Virginia Zakas told The Athletic that 24 weeks (about 5.5 months) would be ideal to reduce the odds of re-injury. Either way, Thomas appears unlikely to play in September, and he could even open the regular season on the PUP list -- which requires a six-game absence -- if the Saints aren't pleased with his rehab progress by the end of the preseason. For now, the Saints will hope to…read more

Could miss start of season
ESPN.com's Mike Triplett confirms that Thomas, who underwent ankle surgery in June, could miss the start of the 2021 regular season.
Analysis: Meanwhile, based on the timing of and typical recovery period associated with the procedure to repair ligaments in Thomas' ankle, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests the Saints' star receiver "could be on the sideline for weeks" as the coming campaign opens. It remains to be seen if the team will outline a specific timetable for Thomas' return to action, but when approaching drafts and auctions, fantasy managers will have to factor in the possibility the wideout could either miss time or be…read more

Expected to miss start of season
Thomas is expected to miss the start of the season as he works his way back from ankle surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas took part in the Saints' June minicamp, which led to optimism that he'd be ready to go by the start of the season; however, as evidenced by this news, that was apparently a premature assumption. The procedure, which he underwent earlier in June, carries a recommended recovery timeline of four months, so Thomas may not see the field until October.

Looking good after ankle surgery
Thomas participated in June minicamp, though he continues to get scans and treatment on his surgically repaired ankle, Rod Walker of nola.com reports.
Analysis: A report in January suggested Thomas would need ankle and shoulder surgeries during the offseason after missing nine games in 2020. Participation in June minicamp suggests he's well on his way to a Week 1 appearance, even if the Saints decide to ease him into action during training camp. The bigger question is whether Thomas will catch most of his passes from Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill this season, with the Saints hosting a job battle at QB.

Inevitably restructures contract
Thomas (ankle) restructured his contract to create $8.7 million in cap space for the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This was inevitable considering the ever-lasting salary-cap hole the Saints continue to climb out of. Perhaps more importantly, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports Thomas' cap hit will now exceed $24 million in each of the next three seasons, essentially locking in the star wide receiver with the team for the foreseeable future.

Analysis: Thomas has a torn deltoid in his shoulder and injured ligaments in the upper part of his ankle. The ankle issues caused him to miss nine games in 2020, and this report from Schefter suggests he might've sat out longer if he hadn't been so eager for a Super Bowl push in what was expected to be Drew Brees' final NFL season.

Held catchless in loss
Thomas was targeted four times and did not record a reception in Sunday's season-ending 30-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: In a shocking turn of events, last season's receptions leader was held without a catch for a full game as a starter for the first time in his career. Drew Brees and the Saints' coaching staff clearly wanted to focus on shorter dropbacks and quicker throws to combat Tampa Bay's aggressive blitzing defense, but that still doesn't excuse the lack of involvement Thomas received, as he is an elite route runner at all three levels.

Thomas secured five of seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 21-9 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Back in action after three games on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, Thomas stepped up for a big game in the postseason victory. He secured an 11-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter when he caught a short pass over the middle and pushed through defenders into the end zone. The ankle injury seems to be behind him, and he'll look to build on this strong showing in the NFC divisional round when the Saints host the Buccaneers.

Comes off injured reserve
The Saints activated Thomas (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: After missing the last three games of the regular season due to a high-ankle sprain, Thomas progressed enough since his practice window opened Wednesday to be available for the Saints' playoff opener Sunday. It'll be interesting to see if he can handle his typical workload of 7.9 targets per game from the current campaign, but if he does he'll have a good chance to profit against a Bears defense that has allowed 8.3 YPT to wide receivers this season (12th worst in the NFL).

Analysis: With another absence under his belt this week, Thomas may be trending in the wrong direction as the Saints prepare for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. In the end, his listing on Friday's injury report will be telling with regard to his Week 15 availability.

Leading receiver in loss
Thomas caught all eight of his targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: It was a typically efficient line for Thomas as he led the Saints in catches and receiving yards. He's posted a 30-343-0 line on 37 targets over the four games started by Taysom Hill, but even if Drew Brees (ribs) is able to return in Week 15, Thomas figures to see heavy volume again as New Orleans hosts Patrick Mahomes and the high-octane Kansas City offense.

Thomas could face shadow coverage from CB Darius Slay on Sunday, but that's not the same challenge it might have been a few years ago.

Analysis: Thomas' practice reps continue to be impacted by the high-ankle sprain that he suffered in the season opener and sidelined him from Weeks 2 through 8.

Analysis: Thomas consumed 42.9 percent of the team's target share on a low-volume passing day, but that wasn't enough to secure the two-time All-Pro a second consecutive profitable outing. He enjoyed a nine-catch, 104-yard performance last Sunday in a 24-9 win against the Falcons but has otherwise averaged only 42.7 receiving yards per game since his Week 9 return from ankle and hamstring injuries. Thomas will face the Falcons for the second time in three outings Week 13, with Taysom Hill likely slotting…read more

Ready for Week 12
Thomas (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Denver.
Analysis: The Saints continue to monitor his practice reps after Thomas missed a large chunk of the season with ankle and hamstring injuries. He saw 12 targets on Taysom Hill's 23 pass attempts last week against the Falcons, but it's possible the run-first offense with Hill at quarterback eventually has a negative impact on Thomas' receiving usage.

Limited again Thursday
Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The Saints have placed a cap on Thomas' practice reps this week, likely with maintenance of his left ankle in mind. He'll aim to up his activity level enough to steer clear of an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Denver, whose defense has yielded 12 touchdowns to wide receivers (tied for ninth most) this season.

Tending to ankle issue
Thomas (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Thomas missed six games between Weeks 2 and 8 due to a high left ankle sprain, so his activity level Wednesday may have been capped for maintenance reasons. In three contests since he returned to action, he only resembled his usual self this past Sunday against the Falcons, gathering in nine of 12 targets for 104 yards. As long as he ditches his designation in time for a Week 12 matchup with the Raiders, Thomas will have a great chance to repeat the feat against a defense that has given up 8.7…read more

Gets right against Falcons
Thomas secured nine of 12 targets for 104 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 win against Atlanta.
Analysis: At last, invested fantasy GMs have been rewarded with a big game from Thomas. After setting an NFL record with 149 receptions during 2019, he missed six games between Weeks 2 and 8 of this season due to ankle and hamstring injuries, contributing only seven receptions for 78 total yards in Weeks 9 and 10 upon his return. Incredibly, despite all the time missed, he still set an NFL record with his 482nd career reception Sunday -- the most ever for a player within his first five seasons. He…read more

Catches two of seven targets
Thomas caught two of seven targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 27-13 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Thomas received his highest target total of the season but made just one catch with Drew Brees (ribs) at the helm in the first half. Brees did not play in the second half after picking up an injury, and Thomas couldn't consistently get on the same page as Jameis Winston, who was less than stellar in relief. All in all, it was another disappointing performance from the star wideout, who has totaled just 95 yards on 10 receptions (18 targets) in three games played this season. Next Sunday's…read more

Clear for Sunday
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: With an uncapped session finally under his belt, Thomas is poised to be the primary pass-catching weapon for the Saints, which translated to 11.6 targets per game last season. He has a great chance to produce this weekend versus a San Francisco defense that has surrendered 156.1 receiving yards per game and 12 touchdowns to wide receivers in nine contests this season.

Gets in another limited practice
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas has yet to elevate to all activity in practice, which may need to happen for the Saints to unleash him fully for game action. In his first appearance since Week 1 this past Sunday at Tampa Bay, he tallied five catches (on six targets) for 51 yards on a 55-percent share of the snaps on offense. Aside from his health, game flow also may determine how much Thomas can handle on a weekly basis.

Limited Wednesday
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayunereports.
Analysis: While making his first game appearance since Week 1 in Sunday's 38-3 rout of the Buccaneers, Thomas logged an abnormal 55 percent share of the offensive snaps (40 of 73), but he still hauled in five of six targets for 51 yards. For the time being, the Saints may opt to hold Thomas back from handling a full workload until he's 100 percent, which could be forecast this weekend against the 49ers unless he logs a full practice at some point this week.

Catches six balls in return
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) caught five of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Thomas finally made his long-awaited return from multiple leg injuries and a team-issued suspension, reclaiming his spot atop the receiving box score. The production was modest due to the combination of Drew Brees spreading the ball around to 12 different receivers and a one-sided affair that let the offense take its foot off the gas in the second half. The key for Thomas owners is that the wideout did not appear to suffer any setbacks to his lower body. The star wideout will look to return to…read more

Making first appearance since Week 1
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) is active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: For the first time since the season opener, Thomas is back in the Saints' lineup after six games missed due to first a left ankle injury, and subsequently, a Grade 1 hamstring strain. It'll be interesting to see the breakdown of targets between Thomas and Alvin Kamara, but the former will be facing a Bucs defense that has allowed 7.9 yards per target and six touchdowns to wide receivers (both top 10 toughest in the NFL) in eight contests this season.

Should be ready for Sunday
Thomas (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable, but he appears on track to play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, according to Katherine Terrell of The Athletic.
Analysis: While he never returned to full practice participation, Thomas did make it through limited sessions Wednesday-Friday without any report of a setback. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on the situation, which could get dicey if the Saints treat Thomas as a game-time decision before their 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. It sounds like it may not come to that, but we don't know for sure just yet.

Analysis: Thomas was a limited practice participant throughout the week, and while we'd ideally like to see at least one full session, he seemingly has a decent shot to make his first game appearance since Week 1. If that happens, Thomas will face one of the top defenses in the league, led by cornerbacks Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean and Sean Murphy-Bunting.

Remains limited at practice
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday
Analysis: Thomas now has logged back-to-back capped practices to begin Week 9 prep, but he also did the same last week before being ruled out for a sixth consecutive game. It stands to wonder if the Saints want him to take the field without limitations before clearing him to return from a Grade 1 hamstring strain and left ankle injury. In any case, clarity could arrive on that front as soon as Friday, when New Orleans will post its final injury report of the week.

As such, the star wideout's status for Week 9 remains murky, even though he appears to be making progress.

Analysis: Thomas seems to have mostly recovered from the high left ankle sprain he suffered Week 1, but the Grade 1 hamstring strain he suffered while practicing last week has continued to delay his return to action. On Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thomas is in danger of sitting out again Week 8 in Chicago, and the wideout's inability to practice Wednesday tends to back up that sentiment. Still, Thomas has two more chances to prove his health before week's end.

May sit out Week 8, too
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) is in danger of sitting out the Saints' Week 8 matchup at Chicago on Sunday, Nov. 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Thomas sustained a Grade 1 hamstring strain in practice this week that kept him off the practice field Thursday and Friday, and ultimately the Saints ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The aforementioned injury has a 1-to-2-week recovery timetable, so there's a distinct chance he's sidelined for a sixth consecutive contest next weekend. In the end, though, Thomas' activity bears watching as New Orleans prepares to visit the Bears.

Analysis: Thomas was limited in each practice last week and seems to be following the same routine ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers.

Thomas didn't participate at Thursday's practice despite the improvement, but he has two more days to return to the field in some capacity. He still seems unlikely to be available for Week 2, but his outlook for the near future appears better than previously believed.

Doesn't practice, as expected
Thomas (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday.
Analysis: Thomas' lack of activity isn't a surprise because he's expected to be absent for multiple weeks as he tends to a high left ankle sprain. Consequently, the Saints will lean on Emmanuel Sanders, Jared Cook, Alvin Kamara and Tre'Quan Smith in the passing game.

Injury worse than expected
Thomas is expected to miss several weeks after tests revealed that his high-ankle sprain is worse than expected, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There were rumbles that Thomas may play through this injury, but those rumors have essentially been put to rest. If his injury is indeed serious enough to keep him out for multiple games, Thomas could be placed on IR, which would keep him out for at least three games. Emmanuel Sanders should be considered the Saints' No. 1 WR for the duration of Thomas' absence, and Tre'Quan Smith should enjoy an increase in usage as well.

Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Thomas suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas reportedly believes the injury is something he can play through, so he can't yet be ruled out for next Monday's tilt in Las Vegas, but high-ankle issues have a notorious tendency to linger and curtail fantasy production. The superstar wideout was held to just three catches for 17 yards Week 1. If Thomas indeed is hampered for the near future or even forced to miss time, the Saints will count on Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith to pick up the slack at wide receiver.

Injures ankle in win
Thomas caught three of five targets for 17 yards before injuring his ankle late in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers, Mike Florio of NBC Sports reports.
Analysis: A disappointing day for the receiver potentially got worse when Alvin Kamara rolled up on his lower leg in garbage time. Thomas was able to hobble off the field under his own power and appeared to be OK in the locker room after the win, but he wasn't examined by team trainers. Assuming he's healthy, he should be able to put together better numbers in Week 2 against a Raiders secondary that got torched for 115 yards and a TD by Robby Anderson in its opener.

Looks sharp already
Thomas connected with Drew Brees on some receptions early in Monday's practice, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.
Analysis: The two veterans appear to be picking up right where they left off last season when Thomas set an NFL record with 149 receptions. Offseason addition Emmanuel Sanders might siphon away a few targets, but Thomas is still arguably the safest option available in fantasy drafts at wide receiver.

Wins Offensive Player of the Year
Thomas was voted the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year on Saturday.
Analysis: It's hard to argue against Thomas winning the hardware, though Carolina's Christian McCaffrey was certainly in contention among non-quarterbacks. Thomas set a new NFL record with 149 receptions this season, finishing with 1,725 receiving yards and nine touchdowns to boot in helping the Saints to a 13-3 record.

Goes for 70 yards in narrow loss
Thomas hauled in seven of eight targets for 70 yards in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas led the Saints in receiving, though he couldn't break out, compiling a pedestrian receiving line by his standards. He ends his fourth season in New Orleans with a lot of positive momentum on his side. After signing an enormous contract extension last off season, he delivered a historic campaign, leading the league in receiving yards while catching an NFL-record 149 receptions. The Ohio State product has been unbelievably reliable since entering the league, and he should be a…read more

Returns to full practice
Thomas (hand) practiced fully Thursday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thomas was limited at practice Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday puts the NFL's leading receiver on track to play Sunday against the Vikings and handle his usual high-volume role. The 2016 second-rounder set an NFL record this past season by racking up 149 receptions, which he parlayed into 1,725 yards and nine TDs.

Logs limited practice
Thomas (hand) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Thomas was also limited by the hand injury in the Saints' first two practices of Week 17, but he ultimately upgraded to full participation last Friday and carried no designation into Sunday's 42-10 win over the Panthers. With that in mind, Thomas is expected to follow a similar path in advance of this weekend's wild-card matchup with the Vikings, leaving little doubt about his availability.

Season-low stat line in blowout win
Thomas corralled four of nine targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: After battling a hand injury all week, Thomas suited up for the Saints' final regular-season matchup, though his performance was a let-down for fantasy owners. He produced his lowest receiving total of the season while snagging his fewest passes of the year in the blowout victory. Despite the poor Week 17 showing, Thomas will carry a 149/1,725/9 line into the playoffs.

Suiting up Week 17
Thomas (hand) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game at Carolina, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. He already broke the single-season record for receptions and now will add to his total with the Saints still battling for a first-round bye. Thomas caught 10 of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in his first matchup against the Panthers, a 34-31 Saints victory back in Week 12.

Remains limited Thursday
Thomas (hand) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Despite not being present at the part of Thursday's session open to the media, Thomas maintained his listing from Wednesday. The Saints haven't expressed any worry about his Week 17 availability as he tends to a hand injury, but there's a chance he's tabbed with a designation upon the release of Friday's practice report.

Not spotted at practice Thursday
Thomas (hand) wasn't seen during the part of Thursday's practice open to the media, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Estimated as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through, Thomas' reps are being capped this week as he tends to a hand injury. So far, the Saints haven't indicated any worry about the wide receiver's availability for Sunday's game in Carolina. In any case, the narrative could change a bit if Thomas downgrades to a DNP on Thursday.

Listed as limited on report
Thomas was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a hand injury.
Analysis: The Saints merely held a brief walk-through session Christmas Day, but Thomas apparently would have missed out on some reps had the team held a traditional practice. In any event, the hand issue isn't expected to keep Thomas sidelined against the Panthers on Sunday, when the Saints will have a chance to move up from the No. 3 seed in the NFC to claim a first-round bye. The wideout should thus have a strong opportunity to add to his NFL-record 145 receptions, a mark he established one week…read more

Sets single-season reception record
Thomas caught 12 of 17 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas made history Sunday, as he surpassed Marvin Harrison's single-season reception record of 143 set in 2002. The record-setting reception came on an out route in the red zone, and Thomas grabbed one more ball in the contest for a game-sealing touchdown that brought his catch total to 145 on the year. He's been the model of consistency in his NFL career thus far, recording 466 receptions for 5,375 yards and 32 touchdowns in just 62 games. In four seasons, he's caught at least 100 balls and…read more

Monster effort in blowout win
Thomas corralled all 12 of his targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: Thomas was superb Monday, bringing in every one of the team-leading 12 targets thrown his way. With the huge stat line, the fourth-year receiver adds to a career year in which he's already crushed his previous bests in receiving yards and receptions. Heading into Week 16, Thomas boasts totals of 133 receptions and 1,552 receiving yards. Both of those figures lead the NFL, and Thomas sits just 11 receptions away from breaking Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record. He'll have a chance…read more

Rebounds with huge game
Thomas brought in 11 of 15 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: After a season-low receiving total last week, Thomas bounced back in a huge way with his massive stat line. His 11 receptions bring his total to a league-leading 121 on the season, and he'll have three more games to eclipse Marvin Harrison's single-season record of 143. Thomas' 134 yards also brought him to 1,424 on the season, already surpassing his career-high 1,405 set in 2018. Thomas is a locked-and-loaded WR1 no matter the opponent, and his career year should continue Week 15, as he takes…read more

Season-low receiving total
Thomas brought in six of eight targets for 48 yards in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.
Analysis: Thomas paced the Saints in receptions and tied for the team lead in targets, though his output was a bit light by his standards. The fourth-year receiver entered Thursday's contest having averaged 113 receiving yards on just over nine receptions per contest this season, but he came up with his lowest receiving total of the year. Drew Brees' uncharacteristic 184-yard night played a large part in Thomas' dud, and the All Pro receiver will try to bounce back from this outlier next week against San…read more

Historically prolific year persists
Thomas corralled 10 of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win against Carolina.
Analysis: Coming into Week 12, Thomas had accounted for more receptions than the Eagles' (93) and Ravens' (74) entire wide receiver corps, and by the conclusion of the first quarter against the Panthers, he had already hauled in six passes to reach the century mark for the season. With 104 grabs through 11 games thus far in 2019, Thomas finds himself on pace to break Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record (143) by eight. It's a delectable matchup forthcoming for Thomas on Thanksgiving night,…read more

Eclipses century mark in Week 11
Thomas secured eight of 11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas was in the familiar position of pacing the team in receiving yardage and targets, while his 16-yard scoring grab to close out the first quarter was his fifth of the season overall. The Pro Bowl wideout has four consecutive 100-yard efforts, and he's now recorded at least eight grabs in seven straight contests. Thomas will look to continue building on his stellar numbers versus the Panthers in a Week 12 divisional matchup.

Another monster output in Week 10
Thomas corralled 13 of 14 targets for 152 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout has been one of the league's most consistently-dominant fantasy assets through 10 weeks of the 2019 season, racking up at least five catches in every single game and eclipsing 85 receiving yards in eight of nine. Thomas' hefty workload indicates that he will continue to be a force down the stretch, as he has now averaged 12.2 targets per game since Week 5, with no fewer than seven balls thrown his way in any contest this year. Week 11 presents an extremely favorable…read more
