NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Saints RB Mark Ingram II (knee) is not expected to play in Week 17. (source)
Fantasy Impact:
While Rapoport is indicating that Ingram has "improved" -- Ingram was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday with a knee injury -- the veteran rusher is still unlikely to play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. Tony Jones is expected to step into Ingram's snaps if he is indeed ruled out. Even with a likely bump in opportunities, Jones is a non-factor in fantasy. His matchup with the Panthers is not a favorable one. Plus, Jones has been a non-factor all season long when his number has been called. Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill are the only Saints worth starting in fantasy in Week 17.
