BayRaider Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 If this was last year I would have said Thomas. However, Hopkins gets my vote here. Thomas needs to prove he is still an Elite guy while Hopkins still is an Elite Top 4 WR (and perhaps the best, Top 4 is just his minimum).

blkwdw13 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hopkins has been my #1 for a few seasons, he has everything and even has produced with subpar QBs more than Thomas has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think a lot of people will be eating crow on Michael Thomas this season. The disrespect he's gotten after he played basically the entire year hobbled (injured ankle week 1) after winning Offensive Player of the Year just a season prior when he was actually healthy. As long as he stays healthy this season, I think it will be back to business as usual with Thomas being an elite WR. That said, I get people voting for Hopkins in this match up, he's a beast too. If I was to list my top WR's I'd probably have a top 3 of Thomas, Hopkins, and Adams in whatever order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of happens when you take a whole year off and when you do play, look like a shell of your former self. Thomas being #5 still is still giving him a huge benefit of the doubt and massive respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Michael Thomas just rubs a lot of people the wrong way and they can't wait to "pounce on him" the moment he has a down year even if it was due to injury. Just a couple examples on here that stick out. There were multiple people on here were arguing/voting for Courtland Sutton over Michael Thomas in round 1. A guy coming off an ACL that pretty much has posted the same numbers in his entire career that Michael Thomas did in just his 2019 season. My sig in regards to Michael Thomas lol: "scar988 said: 11.5 YPR on his career. Mohamed Sanu has 11.2 YPR on his career and through his first 4 years had 11.8 YPR. He's not the best WR in the NFL. He's basically Mohamed Sanu with more targets." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
