SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #38   
Overall: #112


Thomas produced solid numbers in a reserve role for the Saints last season. He was the No. 3 or 4 back most weeks but still managed 987 total yards, which was the second highest of his career. And most notably, he made it through a full season without injury, which is something that has plagued him the last few seasons. Thomas set a career high in receptions with 50. He was a huge factor in the passing game, getting many chances to serve as a third-down back. Thomas has been in the league five years but is just 27 years old. He is in the prime of his career. He has proved in the past he can start in this league but likely won't get that chance, serving a reserve role this season. 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. He does have durability concerns, playing a full season for the first time last season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Thomas kind of flew under the radar last season but he produced with his chances. He might have a hard time matching that this season but remains worth a late-round pick come draft day. He can shine when getting his chances. A season with 800 total yards and five or so scores seems likely for Thomas, making him a low-end No. 3 or top No. 4 fantasy back.
