Lacy or Ingram

Lacy.

Ingram is a very tempting play this week. I'm leaving him on the bench as well. Can't start him over Ellington or Bradshaw.

I'm down by enough to take a risk and maybe get a boom! I think Ingram has the better chance of that just because I think he gets more touches and the Saints run the ball by the goal line as opposed to throw it to Cobb like the Packers. If I knew Lacy was going to get 15+ carries against the Saints, I'd take that, but the Saints rush defense has been surprisingly good. The Saints D has surrendered 6 rushing tds in 6 games. The Packers, 5 tds in 7 games.

I am really leaning Ingram because of the goal line situation. On the flip side, if the Saints fall behind quickly, Cadet will see the field most of the game. The biggest thing to me is yards per carry vs these 2 defenses and goal line offense. Both favor playing Ingram. However, I think this game most closely resembles the Packers/Bears game and Lacy receives a slight uptick in carries. The Saints have struggled with big, powerful backs in the past.

Thanks for the help. I may need to just flip a coin. I do hope Lacy does well regardless so maybe someone will actually take him in a trade.

Saints have not been very efficient in the redzone, and I attribute that to their RB being out... I think with Ingram being in, they play better overall, and try to kill as much clock as possible.

Lacy also has to deal with Kuhn/Starks vulturing a score. Iingram should be the sure handed guy in the redzone. my .02

I made the switch a little while ago. I think I'm going with Ingram.

Lacy for sure.
