However, I think this situation will have a much worse negative impact on Kamara. I kind of disagree here. Kamara, CMC and Barkley all fit the same mold where they can score from anywhere on the field. If anything, you can expect Kamara's check down's to increase even more where he will have a chance to work on that YAC. So he'll make up whatever he may lose (which I don't think will be much) in the rushing department with passes and receiving yards. Thomas worries me. He's not as explosive down the field as other Elite WR's like Adams, Julio, Hopkins, OBJ, and Hill. I think that he can be bottled up more just because of the types of routes that he runs.

Henderson, Meacham, Stills, Ginn, Tre'Quan, etc Brees kept defenses honest and feasted underneath because he could launch a bomb to any of that group and burn ya real quick for six - ergo, guys like Colston and Moore and MT and Graham had the benefit of that threat of the top being taken off on any play ... Bilgewater possesses no such repertoire- his arsenal is a pop gun, at best - defensive schemes can roll in now and focus more on the intermediates, etc .... Tedward is not capable of striking that long distance fear into any opponent - the field has shrunk a great deal for the Saints WRs - credit to Brees that even at his advanced age he could still get it there with hreat power and accuracy - the backup will not.

n4sa 684 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I don't think I can start him this week until we see what this offense looks like in a full game to prepare. Huge bummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sivaro 943 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) He did fine with bridge water. He season will slump, but he is still a start every week. Edited September 17, 2019 by Sivaro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StevenSC400 1,002 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You guys really benching thomas? I don't own him thinking of buying actually but it would be hard for me to bench him for those guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 176 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I wouldn't bench Thomas, especially in ppr. the tree is narrow there regardless of QB. If he has a bad day I'll start him the following week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't own him thinking of buying actually but it would be hard for me to bench him for those guys. Exactly. Bridgewater targeted Thomas around 10 times. This after not having reps with the first team, and coming into a game after not playing for a season. After a week of practice, and in Sean Payton's offense, I believe Bridgewater will look to Thomas often again. I can't see Payton scheming away from his best players with a new QB. Also, keep in mind that Bridgewater is no rookie, he's been there before. I'll start any WR1 receiver in a Sean Payton offense regardless of the QB. Sure, it's a downgrade. But he'll probably still get 10+ targets, and will be the first option in the redzone.. That's all I ask. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no problem playing Tyler Boyd or Golladay over Thomas this week. Situation and opportunity trumps talent in fantasy football. I'll take 10 targets from Stafford or Dalton over Bridgewater everytime especially with talented guys like Boyd and Golladay. Thomas can definitely have a good week, I just feel it's much safer playing those guys over him right now. Edited September 17, 2019 by n4sa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikeflavaz 679 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I just don't think his stats are going to change all that much. He's a possession guy. Teddy B targeted Thomas 11 times for 8 of his 10 receptions. Maybe it's because i'm in a ppr league, but I'm starting with confidence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cord 89 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I am hoping to buy him. I think no matter who is QB there, he'll get and convert many targets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just trying to get an idea of what people are thinking. I don’t think his targets should decrease but I think his red zone chances will. So in full PPR I don’t think he takes a huge hit but in half ppr and standard I think there will be a slight hit. But again idk for sure just what I’ve been thinking.
