WR Michael Thomas set for big Week 3
The New Orleans Saints will be without wide receiver Snead for tonight's game vs the Atlanta Falcons. The absence of Snead means more targets for other receivers.
This sets the stage for a potential breakout game for rookie receiver Michael Thomas of the Saints to fill in. We have heard about his big play ability all summer long and this is his first primetime spot to make a splash on Monday Night Football.
Even coach Payton has high hopes for his standout rookie.
"No, I’ve got high expectations for him," Payton quickly responded. "Listen, I think he’s gonna contribute early. I don’t follow fantasy football, but shoot, I’d try to have him. I think he’s gonna do well."
Expect Thomas, Brandin Cooks, and Coby Fleener to get the majority of targets this week.
