I was among those who thought Emmanuel Sanders' career might be over after his Achilles tear in 2018. To tear your Achilles when you're over 30 years old, at a position that requires such quick cutting and change of direction, seemed to be the end of the road. Sanders proved me and many others wrong by coming back only 8 months later, showing the same speed and explosiveness he has built his career on.
He played half of 2019 with the Broncos and the other half with the 49ers, and produced 66 receptions for 869 yards and 5 touchdowns (despite having to switch teams and learn a new playbook halfway through the season). He is now 33 years old but all the Saints need him to do is be a dependable second option who can make defenses pay if they dedicate too much attention to Michael Thomas. That is something this team has been missing, and if he can provide even similar numbers to last year, the offense should be helped considerably.
Sanders is an excellent route-runner who specializes in running routes from the slot. That should be a perfect addition to this offense, and I look for him to be a very steady contributor. Even though I don't see him producing 1,000 yards or 8 touchdowns, he should provide a solid floor and be a great weekly flex option for fantasy teams.

 Saints rule out Michael Thomas
Missed practice all week with ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 18, 4:03 pm
|  | Saints’ ruled out WR Michael Thomas for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is a significant blow to the Saints offense and to Thomas' fantasy owners. Expect Alvin Kamara to soak up targets from Drew Brees along with increased work for Emmanuel Sanders and tight end Jared Cook. The Chiefs have given up the 7th most fantasy points to tight ends.
| Michael Thomas misses second straight practice
Ankle injury
By: Doug Orth | Thu Dec 17, 8:30 pm
| | Wide receiver Michael Thomas missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Thomas is listed with an ankle injury. (Pro Football Talk - Josh Alper)
FFToday's Take: Thomas has been limited in practice the first two days of each week since his return, so a pair of DNPs is not the best news for his fantasy owners. A limited practice Friday would probably be enough to trust him in fantasy lineups this weekend, but another DNP would make Emmanuel Sanders a much more viable option in what should be a high-scoring game against the Chiefs.
| Michael Thomas expected to play
Ankle / Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 8, 4:15 am
| | #Saints WR Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) had a good and active week of practice and barring a setback, should be good to go tonight, source said. Meanwhile, #Bucs coach Bruce Arians has said WR Chris Godwin (broken finger) is expected to be on the field, as well. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We haven't seen Michael Thomas in action since Week 1. Emmanuel Sanders will also play in this game after missing the last two weeks due to being on the COVID-19 list.
| Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders practice Wednesday
Kamara misses with minor foot issue
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Nov 4, 3:40 pm
| | Saints RB Alvin Kamara wasn’t present for the early portion of practice open to the media Wednesday. Will get the practice report soon to find out why. There was no known injury in Sunday’s game. Good news: WRs Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Marquez Callaway were participating. (Mike Triplett on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Time will tell is Thomas (hamstring,ankle) is able to play this week but we should get Sanders back against the Bucs. Kamara has a bone bruise on his foot but it isn't expected to affect his status for Week 9.
| Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway Out for Week 8
Thomas limited in practice this week
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 30, 3:58 pm
| | The Saints have officially ruled out WRs Michael Thomas and Marquez Callaway for Sunday at Chicago. And WR Emmanuel Sanders remains on the reserve-COVID list. So expect a heavy dose of Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, Tre’Quan Smith and Deonte Harris in the passing game. (Mike Triplett on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The frustration for Thomas owners continues. Thomas got in some limited work this week but won't be on the field this Sunday due to his hamstring injury. With Callaway (ankle) and Sanders (COVID) also out, it will be Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris doing most the damage from the wide receiver spot. Both are sketch flex options given Kamara and TE Jared Cook should be the top two options in the offense against the Bears.
