Me too..now that Duece is out of the picture and Bush still a little gimpy Thomas could be big the next few weeks. Detroit in week 16.Pierre Thomas
Really? I have the same option, and the thought never crossed my mind; maybe it should.I need to start a thread "I'm starting _________ & _________ over Portis and MJD."Not how I wanted to start my playoffs!Pierre Thomas
I heard they're going to file an injunction or something along the lines in an attempt to push any suspension to after the season. Thomas may still be a solid play, it's just worth considering.I'm giving strong consideration to Peyton Hillis out of Denver over Portis at the moment.Da Guru said:Me too..now that Duece is out of the picture and Bush still a little gimpy Thomas could be big the next few weeks.

Hillis and Ronnie or Hillis and Ryan grantI think some of you are crazy for benching Portis without a legitamite backup. He had 120+ yds against Pit and they have a better defense than Bal. He catches passes out of the backfield and theres always a chance of a 1 yd plunge. Im not saying to expect great #s but some of the guys you guys are starting over him are nuts.

Right now I have Thomas in for Portis as well. I'm watching all week to see how healthy he is. I'd start him if I could expect 20 carries or more. But he's no good with 10-15 carries.elbowrm said:Pierre Thomas
if portis was healthy he would be in there, but it is clear he is a hurting unit and he comes to the sideline every other play. he is too beat up right now and i will go hightower over him this week and pierre instead of reggie.I think some of you are crazy for benching Portis without a legitamite backup.
