Michael Thomas (ankle) update: ‘so far, so good’ this offseason

Saints coach Sean Payton says that things have been “so far, so good” with Michael Thomas’ ankle this offseason.

Fantasy Impact: “He’s here and participating. He looks good,” Payton said. “We still monitor it, pay attention to it, scan it, and all those things. He’s getting treatment and doing the things necessary. So, so far, so good.” This is a good report on Thomas’ health of course, but there’s also the question of who will be throwing him the ball in 2021. The uncertainty has caused him to be drafted much later than we’re used to seeing, but it’s important to remember that his target share on the Saints should be as high as ever without much competition at the receiver position. Unfortunately, we also need to note that his floor isn’t nearly as bankable sans Drew Brees.
