Mark Ingram rushed nine times for 43 yards in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Falcons, adding five receptions for 21 additional yards.
With the Saints adjusting to life without Jameis Winston, Ingram predictably saw a bigger workload than he did in his short-notice Week 8 Saints debut. He actually out-caught Alvin Kamara 5-4, though Kamara out-gained him 54-21 through the air. On the whole, Kamara won the touch battle 17-14, with the handles being his fewest since Week 2. Ingram figures to take a chunk out of Kamara's overall volume, but Kamara's top-five RB1 status is safe thanks to his likely dominance of New Orleans' high-value touches. With the Saints having no choice but to go run-heavy, Ingram has some last-gasp Week 10 FLEX appeal for the Saints' matchup with the Titans.
