The Saints love Thomas and his versatility. Unfortunately, they didn’t like him enough entering last season to not draft Mark Ingram and sign Darren Sproles in free agency. Interestingly, it wasn’t the presence of Sproles that caused Thomas’ fantasy value to decline (he caught a career-high 50 passes), it was having to split goal line work with Ingram. Removing the 2010 season in which he appeared in just six games, Thomas’ touchdowns have declined from 12 to eight to six. He was worth owning as a low end RB2 in 2008 and 2009 while averaging double digit fantasy PPG despite averaging between 10-13 touches per game. That wasn’t the case in 2011 though, as his average PPG dropped to 8.4. With Ingram expected to be healthy in 2012 and Sproles coming off a career-season, not much is expected to change for Thomas. Basically, he needs Ingram or Sproles to be out with an injury to be a useful fantasy contributor but the presence of Chris Ivory even clouds that prognosis.

More ground game in New Orleans? -- Wed May 8 10:00 pm --
Peyton wants better balance in offense | For someone accused of being way too pass-happy as a play-caller at times, Saints Coach Sean Payton has been more than adamant how the Saints' rushing attack must improve for the team to rediscover its success in 2013. "There's going to be more focus this year on that ground game than any year. He said we've got to get back to running the ball, having 100-yard games non-stop. I can't wait. I'm excited and I know everybody else is excited." (Tmes-Picayune)
FF Today's Take: We'll see. The four-headed monster is down to three and Pierre Thomas should see more opportunities now that Chris Ivory is in New York. Thomas' best fantasy season was in 2008 when totaled 909 yards and 12 TDs. Drew Brees threw for 5069 yards that season.
