The Facts:
Just like he vowed last year at this time, after the Saints parted ways with beloved power runner Deuce McAllister, Thomas insisted he's ready to bulk up and fill whatever void the Saints ask him to fill. "You know, one thing I really want to work on this season is trying to get more leg power. That's my biggest goal. Leg power. ... So I can keep fighting for extra yards, and try to be that guy when they have that third-and-1 or fourth-and-1, " said Thomas, a 5-foot-11, 215-pounder.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Thomas combined for 1,095 yards rushing and receiving, with eight touchdowns in the regular season, then adding 254 combined yards and three touchdowns in the postseason. And heading into his fourth NFL season, Thomas is primed to take on even more of a starring role with Mike Bell now an Eagle. Even if Lynell Hamilton moves up in the rotation, Thomas and Reggie Bush will be the primary backfield weapons. ... Meanwhile, we'll note that Thomas never did make good on his threats to bulk up last year.
