2017 Outlook: Mark Ingram

Mark Ingram has always had to share carries, but splitting with future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson could halt Ingram's three-year streak of hitting 1,100 total yards. That will depend on the 32-year-old Peterson, who might still have some good qualities left in his game but also has been worn down over 2,781 career touches. On paper, Peterson should at least cover Tim Hightower's old role in New Orleans, picking up around 10 touches per game with some scoring opportunities. But in reality Peterson could miss time with an injury, giving Ingram a big chance to rack up numbers. All Ingram has done over the past two years is average 90.6 total yards per game with 16 touchdowns. He's even had nine-plus Fantasy points in 64.3 percent of those games. Injuries and fumbles have been issues for Ingram in the past, but if the biggest risk to Ingram's numbers is Peterson then Fantasy owners shouldn't shy away from him. Draft Ingram as a volatile No. 2 Fantasy running back worth a selection between 30th and 40th overall in all formats.
