More information about the Saints’ backfield. Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Time-Picayune reports that Pierre Thomas said he was “going this week” when he talked to reporters about his status. Thomas may feel pressure to get back on the field before Mike Bell goes off again and completely secures the starting gig, so avoid Thomas for now until his health isn’t a question mark.
Pierre Thomas Back for Week 2?
↵Beyond his health, how Sean Payton will mix and match Bell and Thomas remains to be seen - although for now, Bell seems to have the upper hand. The worst-case scenario for Bell and Thomas owners would be a pure timeshare, with Reggie Bush stealing the occasional carry. But if either Bell or Thomas can emerge as the featured back for what might be the most prolific fantasy offense this year, then they would be an immediate RB2 with RB1 upside. We’ll keep an eye on how this develops.
