2. Michael Thomas has a third 100-yard game

Michael Thomas is easily the best receiver on the Saints roster. He’s proven himself each week. As good as Thomas is, he isn’t getting nearly enough looks and only had two games with over 100 receiving yards. Since Thomas is one of the top-tier receivers, it’s only right to worry about his production. We saw a glimmer of hope against the Ravens with Thomas snagging seven catches for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Coming off a decent game against the Ravens, Thomas has the chance to break out against the Vikings. It’s also a chance for him and Brees to get on the same page again like last season. Heading into Week 8, I predict that Thomas will notch a third 100-yard game. With how impressive the Vikings defense has been, it’s not going to be easy.

Thomas is the perfect and arguably, the only player on the team up to the challenge. It’s time for Thomas to get back into his form from last season. He’s only had touchdowns in three games this season and he’s due for a big game. Putting up 100 yards against the Vikings defense is the perfect revenge after last year’s devasting loss.
