The Saints’ running back situation is a fantasy dilemma of monumental proportions. The latest news from Coach Payton is about as clear as a Louisiana bayou:
Thomas, Bell, Bush, Oh My!
It’s a good problem to have. We have some depth, and each week we’ll evaluate what the plan is. They’re competing for touches in a course of a game. There were snaps yesterday where Mike was tired and Reggie (Bush) came in, and there were snaps when both of them were tired. … We’ll find those snaps.
All this means is that everyone of the Saints’ running backs has value, but how much? Right now, Bell will be the power back and should get looks around the end zone, and the Saints are often around the end zone! Does this mean Thomas loses value, yes, but if he can get healthy he still will be the most dynamic player in the Saints’ backfield.
Yes, this is not a great situation for all us Thomas owners, but hopefully you have Bell and you can muddle through the swamp.
