4. Thomas records double-digit receptions for third game in a row

Fantasy football owners with Michael Thomas on their roster have certainly been pleased with the production on display by the New Orleans Saints wide receiver in recent weeks, even if the team came up short in Week 10 to the Atlanta Falcons.

Since joining the NFL in 2016, Thomas has made a strong case for being a top receiver in the NFL, and the fact that he already has 86 receptions to his name with seven games to go shows just how lucky the Saints are to have him on offense.

With 24 catches over his previous two games, Thomas should have little trouble recording double-digit receptions for a third game in a row when seeing how the defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has looked for the most part in 2019.

All due respect to the Buccaneers, but it’s tough to imagine their defense having any sort of shot at keeping Thomas in check, especially if Drew Brees does whatever it takes to get the football in his hands as much as possible.

If Thomas comes through with another monster game, the Saints wideout could end up topping more than 100 receptions before December even arrives, which is amazing to think about.
