7. Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints
This one is a bit of a risk considering Thomas will need to develop a rapport with either Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston in the wake of Drew Brees’ retirement. Fantasy owners were burned in 2020 by Thomas, who did not score his first touchdown until the Saints’ Wild Card victory over the Chicago Bears.
Thomas is undergoing some offseason surgery but will be good to go by OTA’s next season. Forget about this past season and take a chance on the stud wideout next season. It won’t get any worse than it was this season. And don’t forget that he eclipsed the 300-point marker in both 2018 and 2019. Consider last season a fluke and grab Thomas at the end of the second round.
