The New Orleans Saints are listing Michael Thomas as questionable to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17.

Thomas is hoping to finish off what has been a great season for himself and fantasy owners. In 15 games, Thomas has racked up 98 catches for 1,151 yards and five scores.
However, Thomas was limited in practice this week due to a hamstring injury. You’d like to see him get in at least one full session, but even so, he should be healthy enough to play this week.
The good news is the Saints are not among the teams who have their playoff position locked up heading into Week 17, so they won’t be compelled to rest starters who are healthy enough to play.
The Saints need to win or have the Carolina Panthers lose to clinch the NFC South title.
Fantasy Advice: If Thomas is active, he will face a Bucs defense allowing the most fantasy points to receivers this season. As long as he plays, start Thomas in Week 17.
