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.

Cooper Kupp News
Monday, March 30, 11:20 AM
In his first season as a member of the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp hauled in 47 receptions for 593 yards and two touchdowns on 70 targets across 16 games. While Kupp was finally able to make it through a full season after missing 18 games due to injury between 2022 and 2024, his production declined sharply from his peak years as a member of the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL in 2025 and should continue to dominate targets in Seattle in 2026. The Seahawks also re-signed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a lucrative three-year contract in free agency, which could push Kupp even further down the target pecking order. While Kupp is still a trustworthy veteran whose role in the Seattle passing game is unlikely to be completely minimized, his fantasy value in dynasty formats is fading rapidly as he enters his age-33 season.
