What to do about Michael Thomas

[HaroldSeattle]

Brees is out and Thomas hasn't done squat all year. On the other hand Saints are playing Atlanta and Winston is starting which could be good or bad. Best options to replace him are Marvin Jones or Darrell Henderson ( I have Thomas in the flex spot).
Standard scoring league.
So start Thomas or put in......?

 

[femurov]

Depends... which is going to hurt more?

Benching Thomas and watching him go off?

Starting Thomas and watching him suck again?

if golladay doesn't play again, Jones is a SAFE start... and it shouldn't hurt much EVEN IF Thomas has a typical PRE 2020 game... But if Golladay plays, Jones downside is way too low to bench MT for him...

agree... but I think I still go Thomas either way.

The only place I have Thomas is in a free league so - it doesn't hurt me to bench his ass for a more reliable option (how many times can anyone say that?).
I think you have to look at your opponent and decide if you need to boom or go for something more on the average side. Standard scoring, I'd likely put in Jones if high ceiling isn't that necessary. Tough matchup for Henderson.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Yeah, I'm playing Thomas and hoping he is the guy Winston likes the most................

But Winston does scare me... contending team, I doubt they will just let Winston throw the ball all game... I think they will make sure he plays safe... likely a big catch day for Kamara and Tauchman. Not cook...

Looks like I need to go for boom. I have Dak on the IR and been using Josh Allen, but he's on a bye so I'm down to using Goff and my opponent is favored to win.

Then Thomas it is. ....

Yes, this is what I want to hear as a Kamara owner. Kamara has 160 more yards receiving this season than he has rushing (648 receiving, 486 rushing).

Guess so. I'm going to be real nervous about this match.

Maybe he was just knocking off the rust.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Maybe he was just knocking off the rust.

That's what I'm hoping.

 

[Robotech]

That's what I'm hoping.

I don't own him. He's on bottom feeder teams in my leagues, so he's going to be a non-factor in my leagues. Hopefully, he'll boom for you.

 

[Robotech]

That's what I'm hoping.

Too bad the Niners suck so bad that we probably won't see Kittle again. I actually read that his type of injury heals pretty quickly and that 6 weeks is a reasonable return time. This was from the Pro Football Doc guy. Have you ever heard of the guy? He used to work for the Chargers. Hopefully, Kittle will want to play even if the Niners are 4-9. LOL.

Haven't heard about the doc guy.

 

[Robotech]

Haven't heard about the doc guy.

It seems like he's pretty well known. He appears weekly on the Fantasy Pros podcast. His Twitter seems pretty popular. Whenever an injury occurs during a game, he gives an immediate opinion based on the video.

 

[TREFF]

Trade him, turn him into someone else's problem.

Otherwise, I'm.probably starting him until Winston proves that to be a bad idea

Saints coach Sean Payton declined to announce a starting quarterback for Week 11 against the Falcons.​

Payton opened his Monday availability stating he wouldn't discuss an update on Drew Brees (ribs, week-to-week) or announce a starting quarterback for Week 11. Jameis Winston was thrown under center in the second half on Sunday, taking two sacks and gifting a dropped interception to S Jimmie Ward on 14 dropbacks, but is clearly the stronger option over Taysom Hill until Brees heals. Expect both to be used across the next 2-3 games with Winston leading in pass attempts and Hill coming off the bench inside the red zone for a variation of plays.

Just missed the trade dead line, so I’m stuck with him. Hopefully he raises his trade value so I can try and trade him in the off season.
