In 2019, New Orleans receiver Michael Thomas had by far the most targets in the league — 185 in the regular season, and eight more in the Saints’ wild-card loss to the Vikings. Thomas totaled 156 catches for 1,795 yards and nine touchdowns, and there’s no question that he’s one of the most prolific and gifted receivers in the game today. At 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, Thomas isn’t just a good route-runner and a slant machine as some would have you believe — he is also a fine contested-catch receiver, and last season, per Pro Football Focus, he caught eight of the nine passes thrown to him of 20 or more air yards for 249 total yards.
Can Emmanuel Sanders replace Michael Thomas as the Saints' top receiver?
