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.

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.
