Michael Thomas Not A Lock To Play In Week 4
4 years agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has practiced on a limited basis both Wednesday and Thursday while dealing with a high ankle sprain. It's a good sign as he attempts to return to action, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll play in Week 4 against the Lions. The Saints may play it safe with their star receiver so that they'll have him fully healthy for the rest of the season. Fantasy managers will be hard-pressed not to throw him back into their lineups if he's active, especially given the nice matchup, but Thomas could be eased back into things, which would make him a high-risk option. If Thomas misses another game, Emmanuel Sanders would be a WR4/flex in deeper leagues.
