Mark Ingram is the Saints' top-projected running back for Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram is the top-projected fantasy option in the Saints' backfield for Week 1.

What It Means:

Ingram, Adrian Peterson and rookie Alvin Kamara are all expected to see significant work this season, but the incumbent starter in Ingram is numberFire's top-projected fantasy play of the three to start the year.

numberFire's models project Ingram for 33.0 yards and 0.2 touchdowns on 7.4 carries as well as 18.1 yards and 0.1 touchdowns on 2.0 receptions against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, making him our 31st-ranked fantasy back for the week.
