Little surprised with Pierre pump (1 Viewer)

Let me start by saying I started Thomas last week over Beannie, mendenhall, and little (think flex).

I def thought we'd see a Thomas and sproles split which I figured would be real nice.

Thomas did get a td last week, but I also believe ivory got about same carries that Thomas did....JUST being removed from pup for that matter!

I've read that Pierre would have gotten more work if saints didn't #### the bed. Not sure, I'm thinking it's designed as a 3 man rotation and that's what their gonna do.

Moral of story, are you guys buying that thomas with current situation (ingram/ivory) significantly improves his weekly output? I feel like its a slight bump at best....maybe 10 carry game tops.

Thomas' upside comes in the Saints screen game. I don't feel that Ingram being out has changed his role much if at all.

Greg Little does what why?

Although I see Thomas as a good flex play, I don't see it over primary backs like Mendenhall and Wells

wasn't too hot on starting him this week, but then I thought about Joe Flacco and good field position

Week 8 snapsMendenhall 42 snapsThomas 25 snaps

... Chris Ivory's turn.

So. Was right on carry distribution but wrong Pierre having a nice day today! Saints rolled, tds are still somewhat fluky.

Gonna be real interesting when Ingram comes back....15 carries for ivory...

There really is only one stud saint rb this year it seems

Pierre had a great day, but got about the same amount of work he usually does. Saints o-line was mashing all game long.
