I bought in to the Ingram hype and that was a mistake. I bought the idea that because Payton had never had a really dynamic workhorse back he would change his tendency to use a backfield by committee and commit to Ingram. That seems to be false. Ingram is playing the BGE role in the backfield. The problem is that while in NE BGE is splitting carries primarily with Woodhead, Ingram has Sproles playing the Woodhead role, and Thomas splitting the BGE role. Ingram seems to be the goal line option, but the only way Ingram has value is if he scores TDs. And TDs tend to be inconsistent. That means that Ingram will probably have about 15 touches per game if he and Thomas continue to split that role. Sproles can put up points with that limited number of touches, at least in a PPR format, Ingram can't. It would help, in a PPR format, if Ingram was involved in the passing game. Last night he wasn't. We will have to see if that will be the case as the season progresses. I thought Ingram looked pretty good running the ball, relatively dynamic, but I don't know that he will get enough touches to be really productive for fantasy. In the games where the Saints get up and they can lean on teams, and grind with the running game, he might do okay, but I don't see week to week productivity unless Thomas gets hurt.I think the value in this backfield is Sproles, in a PPR format. I kept thinking that Sproles was being undervalued if he was going to play the Bush role in this offense. Now it appears he is playing that role and is better at it than Bush was. I'm kicking myself for drafting Ingram early, and not going after Sproles late.
