Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara Have Huge Games

Aside from Courtland Sutton, there wasn’t a receiver that accounted for more intended air yards for a team than Michael Thomas last season. He will continue to set the tone for the New Orleans Saints’ passing attack as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fail to slow him down.

When it’s all said and done, Thomas will end up exceeding totals of 125 receiving yards and add in a pair of touchdown grabs to go along with it. His ability to perform at a high-level week-to-week helps the rest of the unit and that’s where Alvin Kamara comes into play.

Last season, Kamara had a big performance in each of his two performances against the Buccaneers. He managed to exceed 100 total yards from scrimmage in each outing. During this matchup, Kamara should exceed 125 all-purpose yards and add in at least one touchdown.

When factoring in two big performances on offense, the Saints will naturally be in a real position to win. Having talents like Thomas and Kamara give any team a chance to keep pace with a big performance from the opposing offense.
