With ESPN.com reporting that Mark Ingram could miss at least a month with a hand injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Thomas could be in line for an increased workload. Ingram has started the year red hot, emphatically laying claim to the majority of the Saints' rushing workload, with Thomas serving in a more complimentary receiving role. While Thomas' duties as the primary receiving back will continue, it is expected that he will take on a larger share of the workload on the ground in Ingram's absence. Still, don't expect Thomas suddenly become a workhorse for the Saints. Khiry Robinson, a talented runner who impressed when pressed into action in last year's playoffs, should also see a number carries, quite possibly the majority, as well as much of the goal line work. But, with one less back to compete with for touches, Thomas' fantasy value deserves a bump in most leagues.
