U shrazy.Just acquired Ingram for the price of one Daniel Thomas. Guess I'm going down with SS Ingram or riding it to fantasy glory.One things for sure, there's a four-course buffet of crow being baked in this thread, just a matter of who does the eating.
You could've gotten Mike Tolbert much cheaper.
Actually I did. Starks too.
Drafting him was the worst move you've made in FF? Doesn't rank in my top 5. It happens, people swing and miss.
Really? Even the Chris Johnson and Arian Foster owners are laughing at you?
TWO GAMES IN to a rookie season... easy now... come down off the ledge.
Your not just the laughing stock of your league with a comment like that.Really? Even the Chris Johnson and Arian Foster owners are laughing at you?
Come on now....I doubt it's the only reason.
I am with you on this issue. I got him at 1.1 in my dynasty league, but he has yet to see the field behind Ray Rice, McFadden, and Beanie Wells. He will likely be a bye-week fill-in this first year, but I expect GREAT things from him in the future. Took me a while to see a return on my McFadden 1.1 investment as well.
Saints homer here, and I think Ingram will get way more touches down the stretch. For all of you that are worried about the % of touches he's getting, keep this in mind: last year in the playoff game against the Seahawks, the Saints were literally down to, like, their 6th or 7th running back (injured: Bush, Pierre, Lynell Hamilton, Chris Ivory, Ladell Betts -- maybe someone else I'm forgetting). The only guy we had left was Julius Jones. Sean Payton has not forgotten about that game. My point: it seems very possible to me that the Saints are deliberately limiting Ingram's touches right now in order to keep him fresh down the stretch.
He looks comparable to Thomas but with more power. His vision hasn't been as good as I'd hoped. He's made a few nice cuts, but you can tell he's playing hesitant right now. We'll see if this improves with time.Neither Ingram, nor PT have Sproles' burst. Few do.
Just traded Benson to get Ingram, non-ppr.
It really doesn't matter if you're not explosive when you can break tackles, which he showed he could do against the Bears. Gotta protect the rock though.
haha ok clown, when has sproles had more then 70 carries in a season. He can carry the ball 5 times and is a receiver out of the backfield mostly, and does some returning. I watch the games I never said he wasn't a solid receiver/returner/runner, but he doesn't get many carries.
yikes man yea thats hard... FBG goes into dynasty mode sometimes and fall in love with rookies like most People that had been hyping Ingram and others. That's brutal man, well next time trust your gut and try to stay focused and filled with knowledge. I drafted Ingram 5th round so it isn't so bad but sorry for your situation.
It's unfortunate you have to revert to name calling, so I'm gonna say this and leave it at that. It doesnt matter how many carries you get as long as you score points. I've been a Sproles owner in a dynasty league for the past 3 years, and he has put up solid rb2 #s.You can go back to eating rocks or whatever it is you do :jackass:
Gotta agree, especially as we saw them throw for a TD inside the 5, yet again. Ingram looks like a development project for dynasty leagues this year. I'm also weary of all the "wait until weeks 14-17 and you'll see Ingram shine" talk. This guy was pimped as a consensus Top30 player and Top15 RB by FBG. Nobody who drafted this guy as a RB2 is going to be still playing in Week 14.The injury to the Saints RT also looked bad....that ain't gonna help them establish any more of a traditional running game.
Yea, unless pierre thomas gets injured i'm going to keep him on the bench permanetly.
If they are any good at working the waiver wire, they should be all right.
What did you like? His HOF worthy 3.4 YPC? His longest run for 12 yards? His lack of receiving ability? He lack of TD's until late this week in a shoot out? And now this week, he only gets 50% of the RB carries. Oh, he finally got involved in the passing game. He caught 2 balls, but for -3 yards. You're easily impressed, right? I'm not calling the guy a bust, but he hasn't done anything to impress me yet as a rookie...'SproutDaddy said:
I'm a Saints fan, and I think the kid has a great future. I don't care that he hasnt reached stud status yet, and I don't care if your impressed or not. He's a freakin rookie, so I'm content for now.Since you seem like such an expert why on earth are you not an NFL scout?Keep hope alive. He has shown nothing to warrant a change in carry distribution, unless you want to count Thomas looking much better on less carries as significant...
This. Those that promoted Ingram said he would be worth a 5th round pick (which is where I took him) THIS YEAR. If he's not getting 18+ carries, then he's a bust. I don't care how good he might be in the future. For the vast majority of us, the future is now.
Ingram owner and I agree with this....for now. I didn't draft him as a starter and I can afford to be patient. Things change quickly in the NFL.
3rd week in a row ive heard this
