Pierre Thomas Trumps Mark Ingram In Fantasy
Pierre Thomas clears 100 yards on the ground. We break down the fantasy implications.


Analysis: To be fair, Thomas did break off a big 48-yard run in this game to skew the stats a little bit. Ingram saw more carries and he should be able to hold some form of fantasy value as long as he can keep that kind of clip. There's no doubt that Darren Sproles is the back to own in New Orleans, but he has yet to register a carry which has opened up the possibility for both of these backs to have value. Ingram and Thomas will be nothing more than flex options next week against the Chiefs next week.
