Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints

Price: $6,100

If you're looking to get even cheaper at running back, Mark Ingram is only the seventh-highest priced player at the position. Both the Rams and Patriots have two backs priced above Ingram, while the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints each have one.

With the way Ingram has been producing lately, that price tag is fair enough. He had 11 opportunities (9 carries, 2 targets) last week, which he turned into only 7.2 FanDuel points. That gives him single-digit fantasy scores in three of his last four games.

Those lulls in production have been par for the course all season though, and they have done nothing to take away his upside. Despite only notching more than 13 carries twice and not seeing more than three targets in a game this season, Ingram has topped 20 FanDuel points three times.

The Saints' 30-point implied total is the highest of the week, and with plenty of scoring to go around in that offense, Ingram offers some seriously discounted upside.

Like we saw with Goff and the quarterbacks, you're just not going to get a cheap high-floor option at running back. There's enough upside to make that risk worth stomaching this week though.
