Good start for RB Pierre Thomas: Undrafted rookie rusher Pierre Thomas nabbed a roster spot out of training camp with the Saints. Aside from a TD rush against Atlanta in Week 7, Thomas didn't participate much until Week 17 when he started at Chicago and had 105 rush yards on 20 carries with 121 receiving yards and a TD on 12 grabs. He totaled 252 rush yards on 52 carries (4.8 avg.) with the Week 7 score and 17 catches for 151 yards with the Week 17 TD. (Updated 01/30/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Thomas may have paved the way to be a reliable backup option for Deuce McAllister, which the Saints clearly need after watching 2007 go down the tubes without a power rusher. He's worth a final-round pick in deeper leagues, and maybe a bit sooner in dynasty/keeper formats. (Updated 01/30/2008).
