There are two different Pierre Thomas threads both of which have multiple sources predicting a huge role for Deuce today.

 

[Ballstein]

heard it on pregame interview with coach

 

[jamny]

Westbrook McGahee and Thomas.

Obviously if you have a better option, go with it. But I'm sticking with Thomas. He's made the most of his limited opportunities and I think that will continue.

 

[Topes]

It's probably true.

I cut the Deuce loose today, and held onto Thomas.

 

[Gopher State]

FoxSports.com's John Czarnecki says the Saints plan to give Deuce McAllister 10-15 carries this week.

We'll believe it when we see it. While this report makes Pierre Thomas a shakier play Sunday, the Saints have shown no desire to get McAllister involved.

Don't forget to consider their best lead blocker in FB Mike Karney is out today.

 

[Badm]

Ugghh, this is almost as bad as the Denver RBBC. How does Duece go from zero carries in 3 games to 10-15 today when nothing has changed? Is this all because Karney is out? I have to decide between Bjackson and Pierre, I know its hopeless...

 

[flooredyas]

Given the current situation, I can't see either as startable (Deuce or Pierre) until-

1. Deuce gets reinjured

2. Deuce shows he is either out of gas OR just filled the tank

I own both and will be monitoring the situation with both on my bench, as I do have other options. Either way, Pierre will absolutely be the guy NEXT year (If not sooner)

Latest update from RotoWorld:

Deuce McAllister was introduced along with the Saints' starting lineup on Sunday morning.

The Saints listed McAllister as a co-starter with Reggie Bush, possibly indicating that Deuce has moved ahead of Pierre Thomas on the depth chart. This coincides with a FOXSports report claiming that Deuce would get 10-15 carries this week. He's not a great fantasy bet until we see something positive from him, but we'd grab McAllister off waiver wires if possible.

Hopefully people will finally see that Deuce is a glimpse of his former self, and we can end this bring Deuce in craze. Pierre Thomas is by far the better player on the field.

I hope this is true, but these stories were enough for me to drop Thomas out of my starting lineup for OchoCinco.

Huge thanks to Ballstein. I saw this thread at 11:56am (CT) right before the games started and made a quick lineup change. I don't usually do that unless I have solid news and I hadn't seen the other threads re: Deuce. You saved my game today, thanks.

I have to agree, this was a solid and timely post - great info for those watching the SP just before gametime.
