Pierre Thomas Questionable For Divisional Round

Found January 06, 2014 on Fantasy Football Champs:
PLAYERS: Pierre Thomas,  Mark Ingram,  Khiry Robinson,  Darren Sproles
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints
Saints running back Pierre Thomas (chest) missed Saturday's playoff game at Philadelphia and is questionable for Saturday's NFC Divisional Playoff against SeattleFantasy Spin:The Saints had no problem covering for Thomas as RB is a deep position. Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson run the ball and Darren Sproles catches the ball so they can more than make up for the loss of Thomas who does a little of both (549 rushing, 513 receiving).
