The New Orleans Saints running game has been unstoppable this season in part thanks to Mark Ingram. The seven-year workhorse will look to finish strong in a high stakes division matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints are fighting for a title in Week 17. Ingram ran over the Bucs for 77 yards on 16 carries in their first meeting. He also had one catch for two yards but was held out of the end zone in the Saints win. Ingram should be able to score against the Bucs in the season finale. The Bucs have given up the third-most rushing touchdowns to RBs this season.

Ingram shares the backfield responsibilities with rookie rusher Alvin Kamara. He has out-rushed his teammate the last four games. Kamara has the edge in the passing game as the dominant pass-catcher out of the backfield. They two are almost even in touches the last two games.
Fantasy impact: Ingram has a great matchup the final game of the season. He is also facing a Bucs defense that is not playing for anything. The Saints have a lot at stake on the other hand. Expect Ingram to get a lot of yards and a score Sunday. He should be in your lineup to end the season.
