NFL Week 12, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
4. Thomas sees double-digit targets for seventh game in a row
One can only imagine where the New Orleans Saints would be if they didn’t have Michael Thomas on offense since the Ohio State product continues to find new ways to get better each season, and is considered one of the top receivers in the league.
Just look at how Thomas already has 94 receptions with six games to go, and it’s easy to see why he’s such a valuable member on offense for the Saints.
With an upcoming game at home against the Carolina Panthers, this seems like another contest in which Drew Brees will heavily rely on one of his favorite targets in Thomas to keep New Orleans in great position to compete for home-field advantage in the postseason.
In 10 games, Thomas has seen double-digit targets eight times, and currently has an impressive streak of six games in a row hitting the mark.
As great as the Panthers have looked at times throughout the 2019 season on defense, Thomas should have little trouble getting the football to make plenty of fantasy football owners happy.
With New Orleans currently hanging on to a three-game lead over Carolina in the division, a win on Sunday would basically seal the deal for Thomas and the Saints when it comes to the NFC South.
