Mark Ingram a Risky Play in Divisional Round
7 years agoNew Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram followed up his career-best regular season in 2017 with a complete dud in the playoffs. Ingram ran for 22 yards and failed to score against Carolina last week. He gets a far tougher test this weekend with a road game against the Minnesota Vikings on deck. Ingram logged just 17 yards on the ground earlier this year when these teams faced each other, although he did chip in 54 receiving yards. Ingram will also be running with a new left guard, as starter Andrus Peat (ankle, leg) was placed on Injured Reserve. Between the bad matchup, banged-up offensive line and timeshare he's in with Alvin Kamara, Ingram carries a slew of red flags into this weekend. There aren't many better options at the RB position, but proceed cautiously.
