2020 Has Been A Bad Year For Everyone, But None More Than Michael Thomas Fantasy Owners

As I am sure you have heard by now — especially if you’re like me and took Michael Thomas with your first round pick in fantasy — Mr. Thomas has been ruled out once again for the sixth consecutive week since suffering a high-ankle sprain at the end of the Saints’ Week 1 win. However, according to Sean Payton, this time he is out with a hamstring injury, as they were waiting to see if his hamstring “responded” well this week.

What? Respond to what? What are you talking about, Sean? Hamstring’s cannot and will not speak. If you’re waiting for it to respond, you’re going to be waiting a pretty long time. It’s scientifically impossible. I’m not sure what kind of “response” Sean is awaiting from Michael’s tendons.

*Good luck getting these things to talk.*

First off, how does one injure their hamstring when they are supposed to be sidelined with an ankle sprain? Could it possibly have occurred during this…?

Per sources, the altercation b/w Saints WR Mike Thomas and DB Chauncey Gardner-Johnson came during a 5-play red-zone period yesterday at practice. MT didn't like how CGJ was covering him, they jawed, couple snaps later Thomas threw a punch.

CGJ was wearing a helmet at the time.

This is why you always wear a helmet.

It was reported that MT did not immediately apologize and talked back to coaches, which ultimately led to him being suspended for one game last Monday. Again, the big takeaway from this incident is please, under no circumstances is anyone to try guarding Mike.

Thomas followed this up with a couple erratic and cryptic tweets that remind me of when AB’s CTE started kicking in…

Think what you want I ain’t trying to clear no rumors up.

I don’t know if these are lyrics or spoilers to Harry Potter, but what I do know is that I (and millions of others) NEED YOU ON THE FIELD, MIKE. For a guy who talks a lot of noise about being the best receiver in the game, you’ve become quite unreliable. Now there are rumors of him being traded away before the deadline, so who knows when he will see the field again. This is about as 2020 as it gets. Antonio Brown just might put up more yards than Michael Thomas this year. If you had said that to me last year then you are probably a time traveler.
