Mark Ingram was benched for fumbling in the first quarter on Sunday, and Tim Hightower proceeded to rush 26 times for 102 yards in Ingram's absence.

It wasn't nearly as glamorous as it sounds though. Hightower was given five goal-line touches and failed to score on all five. Coach Sean Payton seemed to imply after the game that the Saints will go back to Ingram next week, but this is a situation to keep an eye on.

The Saints get a shot at the horrific run defense of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. The 49ers have allowed a league-worst 27.1 fantasy points per game to running backs in 2016.
