Who Should I Start? Michael Thomas or Garrett Wilson

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.

The New York Jets have yet to open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that the team still has to consult with doctors on Wilson's status. Wilson remains on Injured Reserve after aggravating a knee injury back in Week 10. At this point, with only four games remaining in the 2025 season, it's fair to wonder if the 25-year-old pass-catcher will be allowed to come back with the Jets out of playoff contention. With Wilson almost certain to be ruled out for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, receivers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell will continue to operate as the top two receivers, but they might be taking passes from undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook this week with both Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) nursing injuries.
