The New Orleans Saints have a firmly established committee between running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara, but both men have managed to stay fantasy-relevant so far. Ingram is the early-down runner, while Kamara gets the work in the passing game. It’s been working out just fine for the 6-2 Saints.
Fantasy football 2017 Week 10: Mark Ingram, start or sit?
Ingram is still involved in the run game despite Alvin Kamara’s emergence. We break down the fantasy implications.

Through eight games, Ingram has 123 carries for 541 yards and four touchdowns, adding 31 catches for 192 yards. Averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry and even getting enough receptions to be a PPR factor, Ingram has been one of the safer RB2 plays in 2017.
Fantasy impact: Getting about all he can handle after the Saints traded away Adrian Peterson, Ingram is a strong volume-based player most weeks. The Saints face the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, and both Ingram and Kamara are worth starting against a defense that got shredded by Matt Forte and Bilal Powell last week. The Bills are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to running backs, and that figures to rise after they traded Marcell Dareus. Ingram remains good starting material in 12-team leagues.
Recommendation: Start
