NFL Lifts Suspension On Michael Thomas

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.

Garrett Wilson Ruled Out for Week 9 with Concussion

Friday, November 6, 5:48 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson has been the Jets' top pass-catcher so far this season, recording 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns on 63 targets across eight games. While the 26-year-old should have a chance to return to the field in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills, he will be unable to suit up against Kansas City. Without him, Jets wideouts Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. should both see increased workloads and could be worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues. Both wide receivers have proven capable of big performances even while sharing the field with Wilson, as Mitchell recorded 142 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 and Cooper Jr. logged back-to-back games with 100-plus yards and a touchdown in Weeks 6 and 7.
