Mark Ingram started against the Bucs in Week 6 for the first time since the Saints' opener at Green Bay. Ingram still only played 14 snaps because the Saints fell behind early, and Darren Sproles is New Orleans' primary tailback in comeback mode. There are still growing signs that Ingram's role could expand going forward. In addition to drawing the Week 6 start, Ingram has a touchdown in three of his last four games, and Pierre Thomas has struggled mightily. This week, Ingram will be RB2-worthy against Indianapolis' 30th-ranked run defense.
