Saints WR new leader in receptions through first three weeks of season

Now the one that helped Brees break the record is Michael Thomas who was on the receiving end of a 17-yard hook-up midway through the second quarter.

The third year wideout is busy breaking records of his own as the new leader in receptions with 38 through three weeks of the regular season. His week three counterpart, Julio Jones, set the old mark in 2015.

Thomas is already the leader in catches through the first two seasons of a career with 196.
