The New Orleans Saints ended last season with a serious need for a wide receiver. After Thomas finished with the majority of targets from Brees, the team needed someone else who could step in and take more command than Tre’Quan Smith.
New Orleans took that command in the offseason when they went out and signed ex-Niners star receiver Emmanuel Sanders who is expected to be the clear counterpart to Michael Thomas on the Saints’ roster.
Fast forward to now, you have more receiver problems.
Michael Thomas went down with a high-ankle sprain in the Week 1 demolishing of the Buccaneers.
