ESPN New Orleans Saints reporter Mike Triplett has reported that RB Mark Ingram is seeing an increased role in the Saints’ passing game. The team added Adrian Peterson this offseason and it’s expected that the two will split time in the backfield in2017. Peterson has never been great in the passing game, so this news gives hope that Ingram’s value will increase.
I currently have Ingram ranked as the No. 16 running back, and No. 28 overall in my PPR rankings. If he proves in the preseason that he’s able to be productive in the passing game, he could see a bump up in my rankings.
