I think this is an understandable point of view, but I don't necessarily agree. Doing anything 3 weeks in a row, pretty much by definition, makes it NOT a fluke. His re-draft value was always going to be tied to his TD's. So I don't think its fair to then say "oh but without the TD's three weeks in a row he'd be useless." Especially since the very week that he doesn't score a TD (which was purely the result of his coach effectively using him as a decoy), he puts up 10+ points anyways.I've reliably counted on that 10+ points for 4-5 weeks now, and its worked fine for me in my flex when I needed it. I accept that that's what Ingram is right now. I just also happen to believe that that's not ALL he can be.Yes, you produce what you produce, but he has been extremely fortunate to get 3 TD's the last previous 3 weeks (prior to this week), and the only reason he got any yardage tonight was because the saints got such a big lead.While he has been able to manage around 10 points per week, that is his absolute ceiling, and it takes a fortunate turn of events to get him to 10 points. Not something you can reliably count on.How has be lucked into his production? You produce what you produce. Its not like he's getting fluke plays that you should exclude from the data.But looking from a fantasy perspective, he has absolutely luckboxed his way into RB2/RB3 territory each of the 4 out the last 5 weeks. There is zero reason to see that continuing. 10-12 points is his absolute ceiling, with his floor easily right around 0.None of this makes him untalented. I care about talent. Situations change and evolve. He's scored as a RB2/RB3 4 out of the last 5 weeks. That's fine production for someone who got Ingram where they should have. If its NOT fine production for where YOU drafted him, that's your fault. It makes him a bust for YOU, unless you found a way to only use him as a RB2/3/Flex type. Which you should have by now.Yes, I watched the game did you? Yes, Ingram looked ok in mop-up duty. The only time he gets any carries is when the Saints are up by 40+ points. Not exactly the type of player I would feel comfortable starting on my fantasy team.What do you possibly see in him to still be so high on him?
