he got hurt lol just like anyone else can. like Chris Ivory or Darren McFadden or Arian Foster or Jamaal Charles or Ryan Mathews or any number of other players. do those teams cut their carries in half when they return because they can't handle the load? of course not, injuries happen. the "he got hurt so he's soft and something is wrong with him" might be one of the worst tendencies on this board

Not sure it's fair to say he "couldn't handle" the carries. It was kind of a freak injury that didn't even involve contact from another player - just his heal landing hard on the carpet after hurdling a couple of Colts.There sure is a lot of Ingram hate here since so many people reached for him in their drafts (me included) but I'm still hopeful that he can deliver RB2 production down the stretch.

lol @ bruised heal. Eye wish his heel wood heal...I don't understand this heal injury with Ingram. How in the hell can a bruised heal keep him out/limited for so long?I saw the play when it happened. All he did was jump up to hurdle a tackler and then land maybe a little flat footed on the carpet. But really!!! WTF?!?!?Ingram should've taken over a lion's share role these last few weeks but instead he's opened up the door for the Saints to be keeping 4 RBs active on game days.Anyone seeing any way, any possible scenario where Ingram can be useful again this year for redraft leagues?

Do you really LOL at grammatical errors?I like Ingram from here on out. Of course I am not starting him this weekend, but he was just starting to put some good runs together. I think he's a pleasant surprise over the 2nd half of the year.lol @ bruised heal. Eye wish his heel wood heal...I don't understand this heal injury with Ingram.

I see a lot being made of atlanta's run defense, but it doesn't look so exceptional to me.
I think he can easily put up his usual 30 yds and outside shot at a td.

Not nearly as entertaining as you, NorrisB and moderated. Your obsession over Ingram is creepy.

turd shtick has jumped the shark. suprised he is that low (56)on the top 200. I think he's a better back/more valuable than about 10-15 players ahead of him there.If he plays this week (which it looks like he will) he's a decent flex play/rb3

I guess so. It was old weeks ago. Turd stick is kinda funny though....I agree on Ingram and I think they are going to rely on him heavy down the stretch. I've hung on to him betting they will, and if they don't he is my RB4/5, so what's the downside?Odds are someone else will be hurt in the N.O. backfield. If Sproles/Thomas get nicked, things will change dramatically and then we will see whats up with Mark Ingram.

It doesn't matter weather he plays or not, If he is on you're roster at all he is holding you're team down.
I can't believe people still believe in this turd. If we had a scientific pole right now asking if Ingram is good or not, the know's would win by a landslide.

Didn't think there was anything wrong with checking on this thread to see how my RB4/RB3 might be coming along.

Ray Edwards made Ingram look turdish on that one play.

Actually it's 4-6 irrational ingram owners who are vomitting from smelling a turd and are insisting it's really a rose and attempting to keep a straight face. Verdict is Ingram=BUST
do not see a lot of that. that is clearly not the verdict yet. no one is claiming he is a top tier fantasy right now at all, it's just people updating it calling him a turd for being injured and having bad games. where is the Knowshon Moreno thread with all this?
Everyone agrees Moreno is trash, no one would be ridiculous enough to ever start a Moreno HOF thread.Ingram is a bust, many of us have known it long before he proved it this season.

All the overreaction posts aside, it's really just status quo for Ingram this week.
He's still showing that he can be a punishing back who is giving the Saints run game some toughness - which just doesn't count all that much in fantasy land.
It still looks like Sproles and Pierre will get theirs and it still looks like Ingram's upside will be 50 - 60 yards and a short TD.
The good news from this game was Ingram making it out healthy.

The most puzzling thing is the Ingram's 10 yard split is supposed to be great.
Yet, he looks decidedly slower to the line than Pierre Thomas. (And obviously Darren Sproles)
Many compared him to Emmitt Smith, but he appears more Cedric Benson to me.

Don't you guys think these overreactions are a bit much if you own Ingram in dynasty?? I mean come on. Remember Mendenhall the first 2 years. He was always fumbling the ball and he didn't do much with his carries. You have to give these things time.
