Mark Ingram (toe) returns to Saints' practice Friday

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram (toe) returned to practice Friday.

What It Means:

Ingram sat out Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. His Friday return is a strong indication Ingram will be good to go against the Detroit Lions, where he has earned borderline fantasy stud treatment by averaging over eight yards per carry over his last four games. Tim Hightower will stay heavily involved, and could even out-touch Ingram on Sunday. The Saints have been riding the "hot hand" in games.

Our algorithms project Ingram for 95 yards from scrimmage and 0.66 touchdowns on 16 touches. He's a near top-10 fantasy running back this week.
