Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints

Stats: 880 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns 

Wow, Michael Thomas deserves a round of applause after his Week 9 performance. Fantasy football wise in PPR scoring, Thomas hung 39.10 points on your opponents. Bet that felt good! Always love to see a breakout performance like that on a football Sunday. The best game of the week delivered for us all. High-scoring and we saw the last undefeated team go down in the process.

Thomas set a career high, while also setting a Saints single game franchise record in receiving yards. Week 10 Thomas will play the worst-ranked pass defense of the Cincinnati Bengals. What are the odds this week? How delightful is this opportunity? Thomas owners are just beaming with joy. If you’re not, then you probably had to sit there and watch him destroy your team.

Thomas is No.1 in receptions per game with 8.75 this season. His 110 receiving yards per game is ranked second and his 70 receptions is also second ranked. This guy is a monster and you should either be selling way high or buying if you’re in need. If you’re one of those teams that went zero running backs in your draft, trade Thomas this week for a top-tier running back. Now is the time to sell high on this man.

Either way, Thomas will continue to produce at a high level. The Saints are on a roll. If you want to keep him that’s fine too. Enjoy the rest of your season being a winner. The bye week is already out of the way. Sit back and relax, your team just received a major boost. Week 10 will be good too.

Prediction: 125 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
