Michael Thomas News
Wednesday, September 11, 8:40 PM
The National Football League on Wednesday announced that it has lifted the suspension of free-agent wide receiver Michael Thomas. Thomas was suspended for the first game of the 2024 NFL season for an incident with a construction worker near his home last year. The fact that the 31-year-old remained without a team all offseason is a sign that he may struggle to latch on with an organization despite the fact that he's past his one-game suspension. Just several years ago, Thomas was the best receiver in the league, but injuries have limited him to 20 games since the start of the 2020 campaign, and he played in just 10 games with the New Orleans Saints last year before a knee injury ended his season. He caught 39 passes for 448 yards and one touchdown in 2023. Thomas belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues and is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2024.

Alvin Kamara News
Tuesday, April 21, 12:48 PM
Veteran New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had the least productive season of his career in 2025, recording just 657 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 164 touches across 11 games. The 30-year-old also finished the year on the sidelines after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 12. The Saints signed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year, $52 million contract in free agency, seemingly bringing Kamara's time as the RB1 in New Orleans to a close. While Kamara has been an excellent receiving back throughout his career and could still provide some fantasy production in a third-down role, his dynasty value is obviously plummeting following the Saints' acquisition of Etienne Jr. If the Saints choose to further fortify the running back position in the upcoming NFL Draft, Kamara could find himself completely out of a roster spot in New Orleans. Dynasty managers may want to consider selling on Kamara now before his value drops even further.
