Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Michael Thomas' fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Ian breaks down how Thomas has largely done nothing other than ball the hell out since entering the league in 2016. Yes, Thomas has been the NFL's premiere WR on slant routes. Also yes, he's largely dominated when running every other route as well. Throw in the reality that Thomas overcame a trio of noodle-armed QBs over the past two seasons, and we could actually see him have a more fantasy-friendly workload with Jameis Winston under center. Ian closes out the podcast with Thomas' fantasy rank and a suggestion to drafters to take a long look at TE Adam Trautman as well.
