New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram has been on a roll since he returned from his hand injury. He's scored at least 11 PPR fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games and hasn't seen his workload take much of a hit even with running back Pierre Thomas returning to the lineup.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 17: Mark Ingram
Mark Ingram and the Saints are out of the playoffs. Should fantasy owners still use the running back?

He's scored in each of his last two weeks and he'll get another terrific matchup this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are the 10th-easiest matchup for fantasy running backs. The Saints pummeled the Bucs in Week 5 with their backs racking up a total of 55 fantasy points. Ingram wasn't active for that game, but it shouldn't matter much.
The Saints are not in the hunt for the playoffs, so they’re not going to rest Ingram. They might be more inclined to get a better look at him as he heads into free agency in the offseason.
Fantasy impact: He’s an RB1 this week.
