Per head coach Dennis Allen, "Our expectation is that Michael Thomas will be a full participant."

Related Players: Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith

We've been down this road before, but if Thomas is truly fully healthy and expecting to be a full participant throughout camp, he will really be completely back on the fantasy radar. He is currently ranked as a fringe WR3/4 but makes for an interesting pick with how late (9th/10th round) he is currently going.

Chris Olave is officially out for Week 16 after missing the full week of practice.

With Jarvis Landry also being ruled out, the only pass-catching option with serious fantasy consideration for New Orleans would be tight end Juwan Johnson. Feel confident popping him into the TE slot for Week 16.

Saints’ head coach Dennis Allen ruled out WRs Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders.

The Saints offense has been doing just fine without their top two receiving options, shifting opportunities to younger options, namely, rookie Chris Olave. Olave has become a fringe WR1 and that shouldn't change heading into Week 8's game against the Raiders

Saints WR Chris Olave said he is fully cleared, 100% and planning to return Thursday at Arizona after missing Week 6 with a concussion.

It's looking like Thomas and Landry may not be ready on a short week and did not practice today according to reports. It means Olave should be a decent play as the team's top WR in Week 7. He's the safest play out of Callaway, Smith, Harty and Kirkwood who could also see snaps.

WR Chris Olave continues to progress through the concussion protocol while teammates Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry both missed practice.

With the Saints' odd —if effective— usage of Taysom Hill, it's hard to say who would benefit if Thomas and Landry miss Week 6. Olave would be the most obvious choice, but after him and may just be Hill and Alvin Kamara. Marquez Callaway is the next best bet but we currently have him ranked as the WR52.

Chris Olave, Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas listed as NDP along with Deonte Harty.

Olave is dealing with a concussion and never returned after catching a touchdown and hitting his head on the turf last week. Thomas has missed the last two weeks with his foot injury and isn't off to a great start for Week 6. Landy is dealing with an ankle injury. With Harty also listed as DNP, the Saints could be looking at a top-three of Callaway, Smith and Kirkwood in Week 6.

The New Orleans Saints are signing WR Jarvis Landry.

Landry automatically slots inside with rookie WR Chris Olave opposite Michael Thomas in 3WR sets. Landry may not be the most dynamic WR but he is another trusted wideout that has the most recent NFL experience-talent combo on the Saints roster since Thomas sat out 2021.

The New Orleans Saints have re-signed WR Tre-Quan Smith to a two-year deal.

Smith sets up to be the third receiver in three-wide sets with Michael Thomas returning from injury and Marquez Callaway stepping up with Thomas hurt last season. Smith needs to show he is healthy in order to be a fantasy-relevant player.

Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith (chest) will not play Week 17, while RB Mark Ingram (knee) and WRs Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) are questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers.

None of these players are must-starts Week 17, but Ingram is the closest to a flex play of the group.
