Anyone else believe he is going to be the WR1 of the NFL down this stretch? I do. His schedule is so nicely structured for massive shootouts nearly every week here on out. He is the clear primary in an explosive offense and such an elite talent. They should be playing to win the whole way through for home field advantage. I just paid up for the guy and happy I did it. Also notice my avatar change!!
Nope!!!.. Devante or AB all the way baby!!!
I got them both 
Ha! Hard to argue. Both very nice WRs.

I donāt think heās enough to be considered a āleague winner.ā But that being said heās damn good.

He could be but I think he will just be solid. Not high enough to be a league winner even though he is the only WR on the Saints Roster.
(Seriously, screw Drew Brees and TreāQuan, how does he not get a single reception?)
Have you checked out his playoff schedule?
He has all the critical factors to finish the season at minimal in the WR1-3 range overall.
Elite skill
Targets
Great QB
Balanced offensive attack
Deep threat
End zone threat
Schedule
Playing for something
He checked every box I was looking for in a WR1. Itās all a gamble, but he is the closest thing Iāve seen to an absolute for major production in the playoffs.
Thielen is way more of a league winner. Drafted much later and great play off schedule. Thomas was considered a WR1 (maybe slightly less than where most drafted him) going into the season.

No question who had better draft value. No one in the league, probably short of Mahomes, can compete with Thielen. Weāll all see in coming weeks but Iām thrilled to have MT the remainder of this season.
Absolutely agree
I agree Iād be thrilled to have him aswell but like the fellas above have said I donāt think heās a league winner !! No one player is ever a league winner anyway itās all about building a League Winning Team my dude!!!
No doubt. Pretty common to have a catalyst among your team to carry you over that line, though. Iām betting on MT with my team.
Here is the roster Iāll carry into the playoffs. You think I have a shot?
Cousins
Hunt, Zeke, D Cook, A Jones, KJ
MT, Diggs, Boyd, Hilton, MVS
OJ
Bears, Vikings
Buckner

I disagree, I think Conner had better draft value than anyone because most drafted him late, or picked him up off of the waivers. Thatās provided Bell stays away as the reports indicate of course.
Thomas could definitely be a top WR though. Heās awesome and is a threat anywhere in the field. I agree that he is an elite talent and will win leagues for some people.

Definitely a league winning type. Heās better than Thielen to me bc of schedule and Diggs being there and their QBās, but also similar to Gurley in that heāll definitely be rested to an extent if the Saints get to a point where they canāt improve their playoff spot any further. That might not happen at all though so bank on him continuing to perform this way imo. Every game is like a grudge match theybhave remaining so heās gonna be involved always. Bc itās all against good or fantastic offenses: TB, Carolina, ATL, Eagles, Carolina again, Dallas (not in that order lol)
Thomas may be out performing where he was drafted but he was still a borderline first round pick or high second round pick in 12 team leagues. Heās not hurting you and heās won you some games. I probably have to give āleague winnersā to guys like the follwingā¦
Mahomes-who was drafted late and is producing at the very top. He went 13th round in our league.
Gurley-who was the correct choice over Bell/DJ and is performing among the top fantasy players ever
Conner-who was drafted late or not at all and is putting up the same numbers as a top 3 pick
Luck- 40+ touchdown pace for those that took him as late as the 8th/9th round and got great value
Matt Ryan- Again great value/outstanding performance
Zach Ertz - Clear advantage at the thin TE position. I might could say the same about Kelce, but Ertz was a bigger value.
Theilen - Historic start to season putting him on par with top WR picks.
Trubisky - If you were weak at QB then he has been āMahomes liteā.
The jury is still out but some dark horses here are Nick Chubb, Kerryon Johnson, Dalvin Cook, Josh Gordon, even Tyler Boyd, whose current situation doesnāt look that favorable but who has also given owners pretty much WR1 numbers so far this year and was pretty much free for the taking.
Along with Thomas. I have a feeling these are a lot of the guys you are going to see on championship teams.
Playoff schedule is an entirely different thing though.
You and I share the same thought process and this is why I paid up for him. Then, to top it off, they play the Rams on championship week, probably for home field advantage. He put up 55 points with our scoring format vs Rams already this year.

How come you dudes are failing to mention Melvin Gordon or Devante Adams in these
āchampionship winning teams ā both MASSIVELY HUGE studs aswell
MT is going to be on a lot of winning teams. What I see going down though is those willing to gamble on something that is pretty much a given and that is Lamar Jackson.
Heās going to be playoff gold. That is a QB+RB2, weak schedule and they still have the ability to make the real playoffs so lots of fight in the Ravens.
Itās going to be devastating going up against him. There is nothing saying he is not capable of doing it. Only the limited snaps he has had so far saying he can do it.
Can he throw in this league? Because if he is one dimensional with run only, he is worthless in the NFL as a QB.
