Pierre Thomas rushed for 91 yards and one touchdown on 14 carries, and had two catches for 9 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 8 win.
Thomas controlled the ground game, thrashing the Falcons' smallish front seven. He got most of the Saints' red-zone touches after appearing to lose that job last week to Mike Bell. Thomas has some plus matchups on the horizon, as the Saints face Carolina next week and go to St. Louis in Week 10. Again the favorite for goal-line work in New Orleans, consider Thomas a RB1 going forward.
