2022 NFL wide receiver rankings and tiers
 

16. MICHAEL THOMAS, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Thomas missed over half of 2020 and all of 2021 due to a lingering ankle injury. The 2020 season was the worst campaign of his career from both a grading (78.9 receiving grade) and production standpoint (1.93 yards per route run), aided in part by him seemingly rushing back onto the field following an injury. Even with that down year baked in, Thomas still ranks top three among NFL wide receivers in both receiving grade and yards per route run since entering the league in 2016. He is a physical, reliable possession receiver who has proven to be elite when healthy.
