Notes
New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram said he does not want his personal goals to outweigh the team's goals this season. 'I just want to go out there and do what I can to help the team win a championship,' Ingram said. 'Of course I want to have a big year individually. But, you know, the main goal is to win games and stay healthy and be out there on the field on Sundays.' Ingram said he is fine with sharing carries with Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles.
New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram rushed for 178 yards and one touchdown in the first eight games of the 2012 season but rushed for 424 yards and four touchdowns in the second half of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Ingram is starting to become a fantasy factor with the Saints looking to run more often.
New Orleans Saints head coach Joe Vitt said the team is enamored with all three of their running back options with RB Darren Sproles (hand) out. 'We've liked all three running backs since we acquired them. Pierre has done a phenomenal job since he's been with us since '07. Pierre has great balance. He's a great screen back. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. We know that Chris Ivory is one of those guys who can run with power and can make you miss. Mark Ingram, we believe is an elite back, who after having some offseason surgery is starting to come around,' Vitt said. He added that the team created a specific game plan for each back this past week in order to give all three of them some touches.
