Mark Ingram (2011 Redraft Outlook)

[MikeCross]

What do we expect from this year? Is he a RB2?

[RobertBobson]

I think you're nuts to draft any rookie as your RB2. Rookies, any rookie, are too unpredictable to spend high draft picks on in redrafts, no matter how talented or how good the situation. I think the kind of risk you take on, for a rookie, has to come when you've filled your core starting positions, your rb's, your wr's and your flex. I wouldn't take a rookie till then, and as such, I wouldn't end up getting one in a redraft, as they will all be gone. I'd rather take a flier on a rookie like carter or vereen much later in the draft than take Ingram where i would have to take him to get him.

x2. Taking a rookie as your RB2 is far too risky. Looking back, ADP and Forte helped people win leagues as rookies but they were taken as RB3s. There's been inflation and the prices are now too high. Said differently, give me Ingram as my RB3 for sure. But that won't happen in most drafts.

His ADP is in the 45-55 range, what do you think about that value?
