Mark Ingram, New Oreleans Saints

Standard Running Back Projection: 20th
PPR Running Back Projection: 19th
PPR Average Draft Position: 5.04 (RB24)

Mark Ingram is one of the better pass-catching backs in the league, totaling 58, 46 and 50 grabs across the last three years. His 154 catches in that span checks in sixth among all runners.

In addition to that, he's carried the ball at least 200 times in each of the past two seasons, and his PPR finishes over the last four seasons, starting with 2017, are as follows: RB7, RB8, RB11 and RB15.

Alvin Kamara is clearly a beast, but even with Kamara going bonkers last year, Ingram had 1,124 rushing yards, 58 receptions and 416 receiving yards. Both can eat at the same time.

Ingram will miss the first four games due to a suspension, but that's baked into his cost. While it's tough to burn significant draft capital on a player you know will miss at least four games, Ingram, our PPR RB19, could pay off in a big way after his ban is lifted.
