Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints

DraftKings Price: $7,400
Projected Points: 19.1

The New Orleans Saints have an implied team total of 28.25 points and are favored by nine points over the visiting Chicago Bears. As heavy home favorites, Mark Ingram has an excellent opportunity to accumulate stats in a positive game script.

The Bears have played above average rush defense this season and have only allowed 104.9 rushing yards per game. However, if the Saints are winning big in this game, he would likely be able to rack up a lot of carries to help run out the clock.

Our models have Ingram projected to score 19.1 DraftKings points, which is the sixth-most by a running back in Week 8. However, his projection is only 2.6 points behind the top projected score for a running back (21.7 points for Le'Veon Bell).

Ingram has an excellent combination of floor and ceiling, making him a superb value this weekend.
