Mark Ingram II has a “high chance” to play Sunday

Saints HC said on Thursday that the newly acquired RB Mark Ingram II has a “high chance” to play in Week 8 and will practice with the team on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Ingram is back in New Orleans and it looks like he will run alongside his former teammate Alvin Kamara in Week 8. If he plays, he’ll be going up against one of the best run defenses in the league in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, although they have shown vulnerability over the last two weeks. Still, Ingram would be a risky play in Week 8 until we know what role he has in this offense.
