This is the first time I can remember Thomas missing any practice due to injuries. It’s not just his back, but his wrist too. Since he has missed all week, I wouldn’t count on him putting up much stats this Sunday. I would watch very closely Sunday morning to find out his status beforehand. If you have other viable options on your bench, I would start someone other than Pierre, unless he has a major recovery tomorrow. I expect Deuce will get the majority of the Saints touches whenever Payton decides to run it. Most likely, none of the Saints RB’s will be great fantasy options Sunday because I expect Payton to lean more heavily on Drew’s arm in this game.
