'Total package' Thomas ready to lead?: The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints' run game should mirror what we came to know in 2006, where Reggie Bush would catch a slew of passes and take a few carries off the plate of Pierre Thomas, who would play the 'Deuce McAllister' role and be the primary ball carrier. Not only did the paper's beat writer type that he "fully expects" Thomas to be the main rusher in the offense, but QB Drew Brees told WWL-AM in New Orleans recently that Thomas fits the bill. "I think that Pierre is our No. 1 back and can do that job. I feel like Reggie can be able to step in and do a great job ... but certainly I think Pierre Thomas is the total package," Brees said.

Fantasy Analysis

We've been on the Thomas bandwagon all offseason and aren't letting up one bit. If you're looking for a productive No. 2 Fantasy RB with good hands and the opportunity to be the goal-line back in a hyper-aggressive offense, look no further than Thomas. He's been going higher than Bush in standard seasonal drafts, which should continue into the summer. We like him with a pick in the middle of Round 2, though he's fallen to Round 4 in some drafts.
(Updated 06/17/2009).

RB Pierre Thomas thinks he can be the power running back the Saints have lacked the last two seasons. Thomas was their leading rusher last year with 625 yards and 10 touchdowns, not bad for an unheralded and undrafted player. After playing between 210 and 215 pounds last season, Thomas has added 10 pounds to his frame and hopes to play at 225 this season if Payton allows him to carry that much weight. That could give them some power along with the shiftiness that Bush provided in 2006. "I think me and Reggie give us the same thing we had with Deuce and Reggie," Thomas said last week. "I've heard that they want a power back, and I'm trying to be that power back for them. I've been trying to work on my legs, get more explosiveness in my legs, and just try to get that chance when it's third-and-1 and they call my name, and they know I'm going to get it for them." 52/8/2009
