NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Atlanta
Mark Ingram rushed 12 times for 57 yards while catching 2-of-3 targets for 17 yards in the Saints Week 5 loss to the Eagles. His fantasy day came to a screeching halt after the Saints fell behind big in the second half and attempted to play catch-up. The good news is he remains the clear No. 1 back in New Orleans despite Khiry Robinson and C.J. Spiller mixing in throughout games. Ingram ranks as our RB8 for Week 6 and is a solid RB1 against Atlanta's No. 29-ranked fantasy defense against running backs.

NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Philadelphia
Mark Ingram rushed for 77 yards on 17 carries and also caught 6-of-7 targets for 51 yards in the Saints Week 4 win over the Cowboys. It would have been a bigger fantasy night for Ingram had he not had a touchdown overturned and then subsequently vultured by Khiry Robinson on the next play. Through four weeks, Ingram is on pace for 184 carries, 816 yards and eight touchdowns. He'll face fantasy's No. 1 defense against running backs but he's still a low-end RB1 option for Week 5. He currently ranks as our RB7 for Sunday's tilt with the Eagles.

NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Cowboys
Mark Ingram rushed 14 times for 50 yards with one touchdown, while also adding five catches for 49 yards in the Saints Week 3 loss to Carolina. He played 61 percent of the Saints offensive snaps, which is pretty much in line for what he's played for the season (63 percent). The problem is the vertical passing game is virtually non-existent in the Saints offense. so defenses haven't had too difficultly in containing Ingram. His high in the first three weeks is 53 yards, although he's been involved in the passing game enough to make him a viable RB2. Earlier this week, however, Sean Payton mentioned how he needs to get C.J. Spiller the ball more, and Khiry Robinson was still fed seven times last week. Ingram ranks as our RB11 for Week 4 and remains a RB2 option for Sunday. But the Saints directionless offense is a cause for concern.

NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Carolina
Mark Ingram rushed for 53 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and also added three catches for five yards in the Saints Week 2 loss to the Bucs. Led by Gerald McCoy, Tampa Bay's defensive line did a great job containing Ingram, who also put the ball on the ground in the fourth quarter and was outplayed by Khiry Robinson in the second half. That said, Ingram was still the Saints red-zone back and should see plenty of touches with Drew Brees (shoulder) listed as out for the game. The Panthers rank as fantasy's No. 14 defense versus running backs and Ingram is our RB23 for Week 3. He'll be a low-end RB2 this weekend.

NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Tampa Bay
Mark Ingram rushed nine times for 24 yards while also catching eight passes for 98 yards in the Saints Week 1 loss to Arizona. He split time with Khiry Robinson, who received 13 touches throughout the game. With C.J. Spiller inactive due to a knee injury, Ingram saw more opportunities in the passing game than he normally would had Spiller been active. That said, he flashed enough as a receiver that Sean Payton can trust him both through the air and on the ground. Ingram is our RB12 for Week 2 as the Saints play the Bucs and fantasy's No.2 run defense. He's a borderline RB1 this week.

NO RB Mark Ingram - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Arizona
With C.J. Spiller out, it's highly likely Mark Ingram will get the majority of touches this week when the Saints visit the Cardinals. Khiry Robinson will also be in the mix, but Ingram is an option both as a runner and a pass-catcher with Spiller out. Ingram proved last year he's more than capable as a pass-catcher and holds up well in pass-protection as well. He was used more as an every-down back last season and even though the Cardinals own last year's No. 1 fantasy run defense, Ingram is a RB2 option for Sunday. He currently ranks as our RB17 for Week 1.

NO RB Mark Ingram - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
In four seasons with the Saints, Mark Ingram has carried 582 times for 2,426 yards (4.2 YPC) and 20 touchdowns. He's also added 53 receptions for 288 yards and should be the lead back in Sean Payton's system as the Saints shift their offensive identity from pass-happy and up-tempo to more of a balanced approach. In 13 games last season, Ingram had 226 carries for 964 yards and nine touchdowns. Despite the offseason addition of C.J. Spiller, Ingram is a good bet for around 15 carries per game and should receive the majority of the goal line work. Payton knows that 36-year-old Drew Brees can't continue to put the ball in the air 440-plus times a season. With Jimmy Graham now in Seattle, Ingram stands to benefit from Payton's desire to run the ball more frequently than in year's past.

Fantasy Downside
Even if Ingram gets a bump in carries, Payton has always based his running back usage on the situation. Spiller and Khiry Robinson will cut into Ingram's touches, especially Spiller when it comes to screen passes. Only once has Ingram played a full 16-game season, which came in his sophomore campaign of 2012. Just last year he dealt with ankle, toe and shoulder injuries while limited to 13 games.

Bottom Line
Ingram finished as fantasy's No. 15 running back last year and currently ranks as our No. 17 RB for 2015. The addition of Spiller hurts Ingram's value but the team's shift in offensive philosophy gives his outlook a slight bump from last year. If he stays healthy, he projects to receive around 240 carries, which should translate to roughly 900-1,000 yards and 6-8 scores. Those numbers put him in the mid-RB2 category and the middle rounds of your draft.
