The Facts:
Still attempting to compensate for the season-ending knee injury to Deuce McAllister from a month ago, the Saints have added Thomas, a former league rookie of the year. "He's a good fit for what we do," Jim Haslett said. "We've been interested in him in the past, as a possible backup [to McAllister], and it just didn't work out."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A five-year veteran, Thomas will try to provide some power to the New Orleans ground game, which has been sporadic in McAllister's absence. Thomas joins fellow veterans Antowain Smith and Aaron Stecker on the New Orleans depth chart.
