Michael Thomas (WR - NO)

Thomas finished No. 7 as a rookie and No. 6 in his second season (PPR). His 196 receptions are the most of any receiver in his first two seasons. He’s ninth in yards (2,382) and fourth in catch % (72.6%). The Saints let Willie Snead walk but signed Cameron Meredith, who could conceivably threaten Thomas’s targets. Still, Thomas is an extremely safe pick near the 1st/2nd turn.

Week 3 at Atlanta Falcons

Michael Thomas caught 12-of-13 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints’ Week 2 win over the Browns. He also lost a fumble for the second straight week but that ultimately didn’t hurt his stat line. He’s been a target monster in his first two games and there’s no reason to suspect he’ll slow down on Sunday when the Saints travel to Atlanta. The Falcons have a pair of solid corners in Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford but that hasn’t stopped Thomas from posting big numbers versus Atlanta in the past. Ranked as our No. 1 WR for Week 3, Thomas is a must-start in all formats.
