Mark Ingram II

Former Saints’ RB Mark Ingram II is reportedly considering retiring to join the broadcast booth.

Fantasy Impact

If Ingram does indeed decide to head to the broadcast booth, his 13 year career would end with 8,111 rushing yards, 65 rushing touchdowns, 303 receptions, 2,125 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. The three time pro-bowler was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 2011 and also played for Baltimore and Houston.

Mark Ingram II was placed on injured reserve after suffering an MCL tear, ending his season.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram suffered the injury in Week 13, and the recovery for a torn MCL is usually 4-to-6 weeks. So, this move just confirmed the already-known fact that the veteran's season was over. For the rest of the year, Eno Benjamin could serve as the primary backup behind Alvin Kamara after he was claimed off waivers.

Mark Ingram suffered a slight tear of his MCL in the loss to the Buccaneers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

This will likely end Ingram's season as he is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but won't need surgery. Dwayne Washington will likely serve as the backup to Alvin Kamara the rest of the season.

Mark Ingram II led the Saints in rushing Monday night, carrying the ball seven times for 27 rushing yards while also hauling in all five of his targets for 22 receiving yards in a 17-16 Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram II was involved throughout the game Monday night, leading the team in rushing yards, targets, and receptions on a night in which the Saints offense was stifled by an imposing Tampa Bay defensive front. The veteran running back will be worth monitoring throughout the team's Week 14 bye ahead of a juicy Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons as part of an extremely crowded backfield mix.

Mark Ingram II practiced in full on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

It is an upgrade for Ingram after he was limited on Thursday at practice. He still isn't fantasy relevant.
