Saints placing Michael Thomas on injured reserve, ending his regular season

Dec 19, 2020

The Saints are placing WR Michael Thomas on injured reserve as his ankle injury from Week 1 is still lingering.

Fantasy Impact:

Being put on injured reserve now means his regular season is over with three games left. But Thomas is expected to be ready for the start of the playoffs. All the more reason for the Saints to get the NFC's No. 1 seed and the first-round bye so Thomas can have an extra week to rest. Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith should see an uptick in targets, especially with Drew Brees back under center.

The #Texans are now willing to listen — and have been for some time — to trade offers for star QB Deshaun Watson, multiple sources tell me and @RapSheet. But the price is high for a player of his caliber, and should be. It’d likely take at least three first-round picks and more.

Fantasy Impact:

After months of denying trade talks, we finally have some action from the Texans. Miami, Denver, and Philly have reported interest in Deshaun Watson, but it's still unclear what the NFL will do for any disciplinary action on his pending legal situation.

The #Bears are trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Long rumored to be dealt, the former second-round pick gets a fresh start.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a fresh start for Anthony Miller, but this trade also shows the that Bears are confident in Darnell Mooney. Miller will have to get by Randall Cobb for slot work though, so expectations shouldn't be too high for Miller's fantasy season in 2021.

I'm told free agent WR Dede Westbrook is planning to sign a 1-year deal with the #Vikings on Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Dede Westbrook suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 last season, ending his four-year stint in Jacksonville with a 160-1,720-9 line. He'll probably compete with Olabisi Johnson in training camp for their WR3 spot.
