Saints' Michael Thomas could lead NFL in receptions in 2018

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is projected as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for the 2018 season.

What It Means:

Thomas posted an impressive 155 fantasy points last season, good for eighth-best among receivers. With veteran Drew Brees still slinging the rock in New Orleans, Thomas should be the top target yet again, and could even lead the league in receptions, as numberFire projects.

Our models project Thomas for 1,369 receiving yards and 7.6 touchdowns on 105 receptions, good for the fifth-best preseason projection among wide receivers.
