iretirefromfantasy 1,154 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Drew Brees (thumb) plans to resume practicing this week. Brees has resumed throwing and appears to be in the final stages of his recovery from last month's thumb surgery. The future Hall of Famer "hopes" to return against the Cardinals in Week 8 but wouldn't fully commit, telling ESPN Saints reporter Mike Triplett "we'll see" based on how the week unfolds. The Saints have yet to lose with Teddy Bridgewater under center (5-0) and have a bye scheduled for Week 9. Brees and fellow offensive juggernaut Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) appear to be eyeing Week 8 returns, though New Orleans may opt to play it safe by keeping both out through the Week 9 bye.

Ceco2 39 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This man is the definition of a beast. Best WR in the NFL in my opinion. Never have I seen a player be so consistently good despite the negative circumstances that have surrounded (Teddy at QB, Kamara getting injured etc) him (no offence to Teddy btw). I feel like people don’t give MT the credit he deserves for just how good he is and names like Julio, Odell, Hop etc. get mentioned over him too often. Adjusting to a new QB mid-season is no simple task and although it may be too early to say he's my pick for fantasy MVP this year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Godwin could produce the same way if he was the slot receiver in that offense Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Godwin is a beast and I don't mean to take anything away from him but having Evans is a huge boost to his production. In contrast, MT is the only high-end receiver that defences have to gameplan for and yet he still consistently finds ways to get open. Is that because of good play-calling? Maybe. But I've watched him in depth on multiple occasions this year and wouldn't hesitate to say he is the best route runner in the NFL hands down. Once again, not taking anything away from Godwin but I just think MT is on another level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you lined up MT on the outside like D Hop or AB was and produces the same way then you can make the case he is the best at receiver in the game. I still think it’s Julio just because he can play inside and outside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julio is outside more often then not and with constant pressure in Ryan’s face it’s going to hooper all game long. No offense to hooper. The quality of coach and game plan is night and day however. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlanta being 1-6 has nothing to do with Julio and Saints being 7-1 has more to do with their defense than it does MT. There's definitely an argument to be made for MT as the best. He far and away has been this year statistically at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The specific players don’t have anything to do with the record no, it’s more a point of the saints putting their best player in a position to succeed and the falcons aren’t doing that at the moment. No reason at all hooper should lead that team in catches. Saints are scheming Thomas open better than any team right now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bc the best receivers are usually lining up outside. The slot position is an easier position for receivers and that’s just facts. Edelman produces the way he does bc he plays in the slot position. I’m just saying Julian Jones is the best bc he can literally line up anywhere and still produce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julio is by far the most talented. He’s very game in and game out inconsistent however. Thomas always eats. I’m not saying I think Thomas is the best, I just wouldn’t discredit him just because the saints know how to use their best weapon properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People are forgetting just how much of a PPR stud Welker was in his prime. For example, Randy Moss played 3 full seasons (2007 - 2009) for the Patriots, one of which included the best single season all-time by a WR (2007). During that 3-year stretch he averaged 18.93 points-per-game in PPR. During that same stretch, Welker averaged 17.50 points-per-game in PPR, a meager delta of 1.43 points per game against one of the greatest stretches from one of the greatest receivers ever.

WayneFontes 316 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Nothing to talk about here. Set and forget 10 catches and 100 yards per week with the occasional 1-2 scores. Not a guy you want to be facing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikeflavaz 679 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The guy is on pace for 140+ receptions and 1,700 yards. Being in a keeper league, I used to worry about what he'll look like when Brees ultimately leaves the game, but seeing what he did with Bridgewater, I'm thinking you can stick Thomas with any NFL QB and he'll crank out 10 receptions for 100 yards. He's the best wr in the league. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Schedule Great Too Bucs- Will probably be a shoot out (God I hope so) Panthers- Atl- Thomas Dominated last time and they will want revenge. 49ers- Tough Matchup Colts Titans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
