Mark Ingram looks for more action as Saints seek more balance

Coach Sean Payton said earlier this week that he was unhappy with the run/pass balance of the Saints' offense, specifically the 13 total rushing attempts in Week 2. (The Times-Picayune)
Fantasy Impact:
While Payton doesn't quite go as far as explicitly stating that Mark Ingram will see more action than his 21 combined rushing attempts in Weeks 1 and 2, this does seem to bode well for their starting running back. Even with those limited rushing attempts, Ingram has averaged 4.2 yard per attempts this season. More carries means more yards, so this may be the week that Ingram shows why he's worthy of that RB1 status.
