detlef Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 He'd be a flex play and I have other decent options that I actually drafted after him and don't have as high hopes for. Guys like Brandon Jacobs. But I guess I'd just like to see him play before I roll him out there. Anyone else thinking this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpuma Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am playing R Bush as rb2 over him and Mike Thomas over him as my flex. I have been going back and forth on this but I decided to wait and see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, but I've got McFadden and Hillis. I'd start him with relative confidence if I didn't have two other solid options already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delfamdelfam Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 same here, starting Bush and Addai over him with not knowing how the carries will be split. I did draft him before these guys but better to play it safe week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnoldg3 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 He obviously has a very tough matchup against the Packers. I own him in both of my leagues and will be starting him in both. That being said, he is my number 2 and number 3 back, and I would not start Fred Jackson over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Starting him in my flex. Not expecting too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogohawk Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Have him in all 3 of my leagues and he's riding the pine this week - not just GB as a tough match-up, but want to see what Sean Peyton is doing with him. Glad I have other options available ... check in Monday and see if we all guessed right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think he will get a lot of work Thursday. He is to talented of a back for NO to keep on bench. I see it as a even split with Thomas and around week 5 Ingram taking the majority share. I think he is a good flex option at this point.

Goopster24 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What about Sproles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delfamdelfam Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What about Sproles? that's why I'm not starting Ingram. Saints/Packers is going to be a shootout IMO and with NO throwing so much I think Sproles will be in more than normal for the screen pass.

i_am_the_swammi Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Mike Thomas Addai I think I'd start Ingram over both these dudes. The Saints goalline RB? In an offense that moves up and down the field? Definitely over Addai, who's team will likely abandon the run early while in catch-up mode.

injendsm Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm waiting on him since I can only start 2 RBs in the league I own him in and those spots are occupied by Rice and Forte. He does have some juicy matchups on their byes, though, so I'm hoping he lives up to the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think I'd start Ingram over both these dudes. The Saints goalline RB? In an offense that moves up and down the field? Definitely over Addai, who's team will likely abandon the run early while in catch-up mode. Certainly over Thomas, but I think I'd give Addai the start week one, again, just to see how NO uses him.

i_am_the_swammi Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Certainly over Thomas, but I think I'd give Addai the start week one, again, just to see how NO uses him. I'm an Addai hater...dude screwed the pooch too many times. With a capable back like Carter siphoning carries in a game in which Indy could either be (1) playing from behind and abandoning the run and/or (2) pathetic offensively with a new QB...he'd be on my pine in favor of pretty much anyone with a pulse, let alone a Heisman RB that is going to be rolled out for everyone to see in primetime against the current champs in a matchup where the o/u is 50+ points. I'm buying the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I didn't get him in any of my leagues, but I agree, I would wait on him if you've got decent options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm buying the hype. Fortunately, I don't have to make that call, so I suppose it's easy for me to say. The one league I have Addai in is an auction league where I bought three top-end RBs, so he may never see the PT for me. I think I'd put in Addai over Ingram week one, but I'm certainly not going to the mat over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbass24 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I went all in rebuild in one of my Dynasty Leagues, so I have no better option than Ingram. Crazy thing is Im really not to worried, I think he will hit the ground running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Going with RBush over him in week 1 (PPR). I'm hoping that RBush can stay healthy for about a month until Ingram hits his stride. Is a month too much to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm benching him for Mendy & Forte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 going with him in 2 leagues I have him. Not going with him in 1 OK, I'm not going with him in 2 leagues and going with him in 1 Going with Witten instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerBacker Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm starting Mendenhall and McFadden at RB1 and RB2. For the flex, I'm going with Beanie Wells instead of Ingram based on the matchup. I think Ingram can have a good season and won't necessarily wait for him to show something, but not going to start him this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 He obviously has a very tough matchup against the Packers. Not against the run. Last year they were the 18th or 19th against the run. As a Packers fan I fear the running game of the Saints. With Lance Moore out, and the potential weakness at shutting down the run, I'd roll Ingram out week one. I absolutely expect him to hit paydirt at least once tomorrow night.

polksalet Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The best rb on maybe the best offense in the nfl. If I have Mendy and AP I'd bench him but that's what it would take. I think he is a lock to finish the year in top 10 rb's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
