Ingram signed a one-year deal with the Texans during the offseason. He joins a crowded backfield that includes David Johnson and Phillip Lindsay. He struggled in 2020, logging 72 carries for 299 rushing yards along with six receptions for 50 receiving yards and two total touchdowns across 11 games for the Ravens. Ingram and the Texans crowded backfield is one to avoid in fantasy for upcoming 2021 drafts.

RB Mark Ingram agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram’s deal with the Texans is worth up to $3 million. He was released by the Ravens in January after being buried on the RB depth chart behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. The 31-year-old will most likely back up starting RB David Johnson. He struggled in 2020, logging 72 carries for 299 rushing yards along with six receptions for 50 receiving yards and two total touchdowns across 11 games for the Ravens. Ingram is a reserve back and his fantasy value can only go down if the Texans decide to move franchise QB Deshaun Watson.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Ravens are releasing RB Mark Ingram II on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Ingram didn't play in five of Baltimore's final six games to close out the year. He was a healthy scratch in both of their postseason contests. By making this move, the Ravens are saving $5 million against their 2021 cap and also allowing Ingram to get a jump start on free agency. The 2011 first-round pick out of Alabama is set to enter his age-31 campaign next year, but Ingram should still be able to land a backup role at worst. Meanwhile, most of the fantasy community will be monitoring what else Baltimore does at the running back position this offseason. J.K. Dobbins' fantasy ceiling depends on whether or not the team brings back restricted free agent Gus Edwards as well.
