Michael Thomas lit up the fantasy world in Week 1 when he caught five of eight targets for 57 yards and two touchdowns. However, he injured his foot in Week 3 and has missed two straight games. There was plenty of optimism that he would return for Week 6’s showdown with Cincinnati, but the news has been mixed about this possibility. Fantasy managers are left in the lurch regarding what to do with him, wondering whether they can deploy him this weekend. Will Thomas suit up on Sunday? And if he does, is he worth a spot on your roster? This is where things stand.

According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, WR Michael Thomas is improving but will be out on Sunday against the Bengals.

The Saints’ offense has been dealing with injuries all around but looked solid against a weak Seattle defense in Week 5. Thomas’ status going forward is uncertain, though he seems to be progressing. Thomas was averaging 57 yards and a touchdown when he did play to start the year.
