League Suspends Michael Thomas

The NFL has suspended former Saints WR Michael Thomas one game for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. The suspension stems from an arrest last November on misdemeanor charges of simply battery and criminal mischief.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

I'm gonna assume the lingering potential discipline for a couple of misdemeanors has not been the main thing keeping Thomas from signing with a team.

The 31-year-old hasn't exceeded 40 catches or reached 450 yards in a season since 2019. He has appeared in just 20 games while losing time to multiple injuries since then.

Thomas' NFL career is likely over. His time as a fantasy-relevant wideout almost certainly is.

We'll watch to see if he catches on anywhere for 2024, though.
