ESPN’s Eric Karabell echos his colleague Ken Daube in recommending Pierre Thomas as a potential top tier running back for the season’s second half. Here’s Karabell’s take:
More Pierre Thomas Love
↵↵Thomas doesn’t seem to be sharing carries anymore with Mike Bell, and Reggie Bush isn’t really in the picture, so it’s kind of big news that the Saints don’t, in general, face strong rushing defenses the rest of the way. I could see Thomas finishing the season among the top-10 running backs
↵↵Karabell and Daube seem to nail it on the head: fantasy football is all about opportunity. Pierre Thomas seems to be indubitably the guy for one of the top offenses in the league -- and an offense that has a slew of favorable matchups (the Bucs, twice) down the stretch. Target Thomas in any deadline deals, and watch him carry you to a fantasy title in Weeks 15 and 16.
