FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Saints' Michael Thomas (knee) returns to practice on Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was present at Thursday's practice after missing Wednesday's session with a knee ailment.

What It Means:

Earlier today, head coach Sean Payton shot down a question of whether or not Thomas' knee injury was significant or a long-term concern. This basically confirms that while standing as an encouraging sign for Thomas' Week 8 availability. There's no word yet on whether he was limited, but the fact that he was present at the media portion could lead to him being a full participant. If Thomas is at or near 100% come Sunday, Drew Brees would get a little more of a confidence boost against the Chicago Bears.

Thomas' $7,500 price tag is 11th among all wideouts, while his projected 13 FanDuel points fall in the top 8 at his position this week.
