Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints

DraftKings Price: $6,900
Projected Points: 18.3

The New Orleans Saints have the third-highest implied point total (26.0 points) on the DraftKings main slate and are just 4.0 favorites over the visiting Carolina Panthers. This should be a very competitive game with the stars likely being leaned on heavily.

With the running game becoming the focal point of the offense this season, Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram have seen dramatic price increases over the last several weeks. A nice way to leverage the ownership of the field will be to target the Saints passing game while the ownership of the field is on the running game.

Even though he is the eighth-highest priced wide receiver, Michael Thomas has the second-highest projected point total on the Week 13 main slate, according to our models. By locking him in as one of our main wide receivers, we are not only getting a top-flight option at a nice value, but we are leveraging the aforementioned running backs of the Saints.

Thomas looks like he is a fantastic play in both cash games and GPPs in Week 13. The best part is that you don't even have to break the bank to acquire his production.
