New Orleans Saints running back Khiry Robinson will not play against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. He is dealing with a forearm issue and hasn't practiced all week.
Khiry Robinson won’t play on Thursday night; Mark Ingram remains a strong fantasy play
Robinson is still out with a forearm issue. We break down the fantasy implications.

Robinson did not play in Week 8 and has missed practice since Oct. 22. He has been ineffective for much of the season and had only one good game against the woeful Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Of course, Robinson has become a bit obsolete with running back Mark Ingram coming back and looking great.
In Week 8, Ingram smoked the Green Bay Packers to the tune of 172 yards and one score. He is going to be the primary rusher, and Travaris Cadet will get some work on passing downs.
Fantasy impact: Ingram pretty much has to be in your lineup this week. The Saints are starting to get their offense to click, so look for Ingram to be a mid-level RB2 in standard leagues. Robinson can be cut almost everywhere.
