Michael Thomas Is A Week 2 Start Candidate

Friday, September 22, 9:06 AM

New Orleans Saints veteran wide receiver Michael Thomas has regained a role in the offense over the first two weeks of the season, hauling in 12 receptions on 17 targets for 116 yards. Thomas has seen consistent usage, making him an attractive FLEX option for Week 3 against a Green Bay defense that has been hit-or-miss. While the game is likely to be a lower-scoring affair, Thomas should deliver due to his consistent volume. Fire him up in Week 3 but be cautious that he could be held without a touchdown again.

DeVonta Smith Puts In Another Limited Practice

Friday, September 22, 7:13 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring, thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant for a second straight day on Friday. Smith apparently picked up several injuries in last Thursday's win over the Minnesota Vikings when he went off for four catches on five targets for 131 yards and a touchdown. Neither injury seems to be very serious, though, so the 24-year-old pass-catcher isn't in any real danger of sitting out of Monday's clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. A.J. Brown could get the squeaky wheel treatment in that one, but Smith remains a must-start in fantasy lineups as long as he's active. Through his first two games, he has 11 receptions on 15 targets for 178 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles.
