Saints' Michael Thomas (ankle) ruled out for Week 15's clash with Chiefs

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out of Week 15's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

What It Means:

Thomas opened the week with back-to-back missed practices due to an ankle injury and has now been ruled out of Sunday's showdown with the Chiefs. Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith should play increased roles against Kansas City with Thomas inactive, and Jared Cook could see an increase in targets as well. With Drew Brees back and Thomas ruled out, the Saints' offense could once again run through Alvin Kamara.

The Saints are 2.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs in Week 15. Their implied team total of 25.0 points is the tenth-highest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
