All "turd" references aside. This reeks of Pierre Thomas circa 2010. Belechick hell. Payton is in a league of his own when it comes to injuries. The guy could be six weeks out and you would never have a clue. He has too many options to even care.
Starting to get that feeling too. Two weeks, no practices, ruled out early. No word on injury other than bruised heel, and doesn't seem like beat reporters are digging any deeper. Sproles, PT and Ivory can more than hold down the RB fort for NO. With late bye week this year, I wonder if it will be week 12 till we see him again, and even then in limited action. That's starting to get too close to the FF playoffs for me to want to trust him even as a RB3. Payton probably more worried about keeping him healthy for the RL playoffs. Contemplating dropping him in redraft for a high upside backup, like Taiwan Jones.
What's bizarre to me is Ingram has been a solid RB3. He's not living up to his ADP and yeah that sucks but it's not like he's been completely worthless. He was a Top 30 RB in many leagues prior to his injury. That makes him a solid RB3/flex play. Nothing wrong with that at all. At least he's someone who, when healthy, you can start in that role. The upside hasn't been there like many of us thought but it's not like he's so worthless he can't even be started. You'd think that's the case based on many of the comments in this thread.
the only "bitter" Ingram comments come from non-owning anti-Ingram, pro-Richarson people. The thread had it's share of whining, no doubt. But the great majority of the Ingram owners are past that now, and are resigned to what's on their bench or have already cut bait.
