Newsbreakers
November 8, 2009
Pierre Thomas carried the ball 13 times for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Saints 30-20 win over the Panthers in Week 9.

Our View:Thomas also hauled in five passes for and additional 31 yards in the game. It appears the Saints are trying to get him more involved in the offense as he got the bulk of the carries in this one. Mike Bell had just five opportunities to run the ball and only mustered 17 yards, so it looks as if Thomas is pulling ahead in the split duty situation. He now has three touchdowns in the last two weeks and should continue to get the majority of the red zone looks.

Pierre Thomas ran for 91 yards on 14 carries on Monday in the Saints' 35-27 win over the Falcons. Thomas scored once on the ground and also added a touchdown on one of his two receptions.

Our View:The Thomas-Bell conundrum continues to trouble fantasy owners, as Thomas ran for 42 more yards despite three less carries. Both players' values are going to be limited while sharing carries, but Thomas still looks like the better option because of his red zone capabilities.

Pierre Thomas gained just 30 yards off eight carries on Sunday, compared to Mike Bell's 80 off of 12.

Our View:Bell has been the bane of Thomas' fantasy owners' existence, and it doesn't look like he'll be fazed out anytime soon. Bell also received New Orleans' goal-line carries, and Thomas owners had to be happy that Bell didn't convert. Still, this situation looks to be in full-blown platoon mode, with Reggie Bush remaining in the mix as well, so temper your expectations for Thomas going forward.

Pierre Thomas looked good in Sunday's 48-27 win over the Giants at the Superdome, as he racked up 72 rushing yards on 15 carries, with a long of 25. Mike Bell also had 15 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.

Our View:Thomas proved he is capable of being a solid fantasy running back, if the Saints will just feature him and give him a larger workload. Bell's two-yard touchdown had to be frustrating for fantasy owners of Thomas.
October 15, 2009
According to Jeff Duncan on Twitter, Saints running back Pierre Thomas was limited in practice on Thursday.

Our View:Thomas is dealing with a hamstring injury, but is still expected to play on Sunday. He has yet to practice in full this week, but Friday could be the day. If it isn't his workload would likely be limited and he'd cede carries to Mike Bell.
