New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas led the team in receiving in the 26-9 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday. Thomas was targeted six times, hauling in four receptions for 53 yards. The New Orleans offense struggled, failing to score a single touchdown. Thomas' six targets were his season low, but he still managed to lead the team in receiving yards. He continued to prove that he has a reliable floor but a limited ceiling. Thomas and the Saints take on the New England Patriots in Week 5.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was targeted five times in Week 1 and six times in Week 2, but he is not yet threatening the workloads of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 21-year-old has only been on the field for 58% of snaps and the targets he has seen are at an average depth of just 1.9 yards. In Week 3 against the Panthers, Smith-Njigba will line up against Jimmy Chinn or Troy Hill, who have managed most of the slot corner snaps for Carolina in the first two weeks of the season. Smith-Njigba is definitely worth holding but the only reason to start him in Week 3 is if Metcalf (ribs) is ruled out.
