SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #32   
Overall: #90


Thomas made plays when healthy last season, but he was healthy for just six games. He had 470 total yards and two scores in those six games. Thomas suffered an ankle injury that eventually required surgery this offseason. It was a pretty extensive scope on the ankle, which is a concern going forward. He has a long rehab ahead, but should be healthy enough for training camp. Thomas has produced when on the field for the Saints, averaging 825 total yards the last three seasons. Thomas has shown a tendency to get injured, though, causing some durability concerns. Thomas isn't a huge back, but has good speed and moves. Thomas also can run with a little power and is a more than capable receiver (99 receptions the last three seasons).
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Durability continues to be a concern, but Thomas can produce when healthy. He is worth a mid- to late-round grab as a No. 3 back for fantasy teams. Thomas can get 1,000 total yards and six or seven scores.
New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (head) was limited to just two total touches in the Divisional Round playoff game loss against the San Francisco 49ers Saturday, Jan. 14. Thomas ran once for six yards while posting one reception for five yards.
Fantasy Impact: Thomas didn't last long after sustaining a head injury. He'll be fine for 2012.

New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas had nine carries for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons Monday, Dec. 26. He also added two catches for just four yards. Thomas was flagged for excessive celebration, after pulling a Christmas bow from his uniform, attaching it to a football, and presenting the football to a fan after his first quarter score.
Fantasy Impact: Thomas has some value as a flex play in the right matchup. He is getting around 10 touches per game.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas didn't get a whole lot of work, which is a reason he isn't a great fantasy option right now.

Fantasy Impact: Thomas isn't doing a whole lot at this point. He is getting some chances but his numbers have been erratic in a limited role.

New Orleans Saints RP Pierre Thomas looks healthy this year after putting up just 3.2 yards per carry. After two games this year, Thomas has 5.1 yards per carry, while RB Mark Ingram is at 3.3 yards per tote.
Fantasy Impact: Thomas has done well with his chances this year. He could be getting more work in the near future if Ingram still has some struggles.
