Saints RB Mark Ingram stands to benefit from Darren Sproles' absence.

Ever since he was drafted to a roster that also boasted premier passing-down backs such as Sproles and Pierre Thomas, Ingram has been marginalized to obvious run situations. That usage pattern has allowed defenses to key on him as an obvious candidate to touch the ball whenever he's on the field.

Now that there's some overlap in skill sets among Ingram, Thomas and hard-charging tackle-breaker Khiry Robinson, Sean Payton can tie defenses in knots with less predictable personnel packages.

In addition to being earmarked for the primary early-down role, Ingram expects to be a bigger factor in a pick-your-poison passing attack.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ingram is looking like a possible later round steal. If you've yet to have your draft, you may have to reach a round or two higher to get him as the news continues to be positive.

Saints RB Pierre Thomas will be doing more 'pass protection' and 'route running'

There has been much speculation about what New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas' role would be this season and the eighth-year veteran said Wednesday night he knows things are going to be different in 2014.

"I know my role is going to change a whole lot this year," Thomas said. "I'm going to do more pass protection and route running. I'm improving my route running game. I'm still going to be running the ball too. I've got a few changes here and there."

Fantasy Impact: 

Thomas racked up 224 touches for 1,062 yards and five TDs as the lead back in the 2013 version of the Saints’ committee at running back. With Darren Sproles gone, Thomas's receptions may increase. The team has shown signs of moving to Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson more in the running game, so PT may have trouble pushing 150 carries again in 2014. Still, he’ll be a regular part of the rotation in a potent offense and should be a good value in the later rounds. In PPR formats, he has finished in the top 30 in PPG in five of the last six seasons.

Saints Beat: Expecting a 'pretty even split' in RBBC

Saints beat writer Mike Triplett: Although Mark Ingram looked terrific in the preseason opener, I expect a pretty even split between Ingram, Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas all season (with Thomas in more of a third-down role). The good news is that the Saints' run game looks improved overall.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Darren Sproles gone, we believe that Thomas is a solid RB3 in PPR formats and is likely to catch 70-plus passes for the second consecutive season. At this point the lead runner is Ingram, so he's an interesting pick in the later rounds. He could see 10-15 carries per game, but won't help much in the passing game. Robinson is the wild card. He could emerge as a fantasy RB2-type if Ingram falters or suffers an injury.

Pierre Thomas

Saints Beat: Pierre Thomas falling behind Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson

It's unwise to take too much out of a preseason game whether it's good or bad. What Friday did show is that Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson continue to pull away from Pierre Thomas, who did not make the trip Friday for unspecified reasons.

"Overall, we knew we would be splitting the better part of the half because Pierre (Thomas) was not going to play, and we end up doing it," Payton said.

Thomas by far outpaced Robinson and Ingram in snaps last season, taking 564 offensive snaps before missing the final two playoff games with a chest injury. Ingram, who missed five games with a toe injury, had 230 snaps. Robinson was inactive for six games and had no snaps in another, finishing with 91.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story claims it has become apparent that Ingram and Robinson have moved ahead of Thomas, who has been listed with the third team on the unofficial depth charts. Thomas was reportedly on the trading block in the offseason before taking a paycut to return with the Saints. In camp, Thomas has started taking snaps with the second team in walkthroughs while Ingram and Robinson got the first team reps. It's hard to imagine Thomas wouldn't still have a role in the passing game but if this pans out it's a big drop in value, so it's something to monitor.
