rotoworld,
Pierre Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bucs.
The Bucs' run defense ranks 30th in the league, so the Saints should be able to move the ball on the ground Sunday. The question is who's going to get the carries. Coach Sean Payton insists that Julius Jones will only be third string, Ladell Betts all but cost New Orleans last week's game, and Chris Ivory received just ten carries. Ivory is the best desperation play of the group. We just can't reasonably expect more than a dozen or so touches.
The Saints need him to get well in a bad way.
