Keaontay Ingram Waived By Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs running back Keaontay Ingram has been waived by the organization on Tuesday. Ingram was the odd man out with Kareem Hunt being added to the active roster. There was no more room for Ingram with Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, and now Hunt all in the mix while Isiah Pacheco (leg) recovers. Ingram rushed for 134 yards on 62 attempts over parts of two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He didn't play a single snap despite being active for the game last week. The 24-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as depth.

Chiefs Sign Keaontay Ingram To Active Roster, Kareem Hunt To Practice Squad

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Keaontay Ingram to the active roster and Kareem Hunt to the practice squad on Wednesday, according to the team's official X account. These moves come after Isiah Pacheco (leg) suffered a fractured fibula and was placed on Injured Reserve. With Pacheco sidelined, rookie Carson Steele and veteran Samaje Perine are expected to split touches in the backfield, but Hunt could become a contributor. The former third-round pick by Kansas City in 2017 spent his final season with the Cleveland Browns last year and rushed for 411 yards and nine touchdowns while adding 15 receptions for 84 yards. Hunt appears to be well beyond his prime, but he could become a deep-league flex option if he gets integrated soon and earns a role in the offense.

Keaontay Ingram Chips In Four Carries In Loss

Kansas City Chiefs running back Keaontay Ingram chipped in a team-high four carries in Saturday night's preseason defeat to the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium, rushing for 12 yards in the loss. His longest carry went for 10 yards, and he wasn't targeted in the passing game on Saturday evening against the Jaguars. Ingram is one of three Chiefs' backs battling for the top backup role behind workhorse starter Isiah Pacheco, but veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Deneric Prince, who has worked as KC's No. 2 back in training camp, figure to have a leg up on him. The 24-year-old former sixth-round pick has rushed for just 2.2 yards per carry over 62 rushing attempts for his career, so he's no guarantee to make the roster this fall. Ingram will look to do more with his touches in next Saturday's preseason game against the visiting Detroit Lions.

Keaontay Ingram Elevated To Chiefs Active Roster

Kansas City Chiefs running back Keaontay Ingram has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ingram, who began the season with the Cardinals, signed with the Chiefs' practice squad back in late November. Ingram's elevation could mean that Isiah Pacheco (concussion) or perhaps Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) will not be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals. CEH is currently listed as questionable while Pacheco has not yet been medically cleared to play despite returning to practice on Friday.

Cardinals Release Keaontay Ingram

The Arizona Cardinals released running back Keaontay Ingram and defensive lineman Ben Stille from the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and released offensive lineman Austen Pleasants from the practice squad. The Cardinals are fully stocked at the running back position now that James Conner is back from Injured Reserve and after the team claimed Michael Carter off waivers from the New York Jets a few weeks ago. The Cardinals also have rookie Emari Demercado currently operating as the No. 3. The 24-year-old Ingram played in eight games (one start) for Arizona this year and had 35 rushing attempts for only 74 yards (2.11 yards per carry) while adding four receptions for an additional 26 yards through the air. Ingram will be hoping to latch on with another team as RB depth.

Michael Carter Active Over Keaontay Ingram In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. In his absence, Michael Carter will operate as the No. 3 running back behind James Conner and Emari Demercado. While this news demonstrates the Cardinals' increased trust in Carter after claiming him from the Jets, his depth role keeps him off the fantasy radar for the time being.

Keaontay Ingram A Potentially Sneaky Week 10 Flex Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram could be a potentially sneaky fantasy play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. While many expect James Conner (knee) to make his anticipated return from IR, Conner did not practice on Friday and is currently listed as questionable. Even if Conner does play, Arizona will likely be cautious with his use. This could allow Ingram to get some solid work against a Falcons defense rated in the middle of the pack against the run. Additionally, with quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) expected to make his long-awaited season debut, some running lanes could be available for Ingram to make an impact. Fantasy managers should consider Ingram an RB3/Flex play with upside for more.

Keaontay Ingram Tallies Only Eight Yards In Loss

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram rushed for eight yards on nine attempts in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns stifled the Arizona run game all day, which impacted the ability of rookie quarterback Clayton Tune to get anything going in the passing game. The combination of a stingy Cleveland defense and stacked fronts made it a day to forget for Ingram before the game script necessitated switching to the aerial attack. With James Conner (knee) eligible to return as early as Week 10, Ingram may be relegated back to a complimentary role in the Arizona backfield sooner rather than later.

Keaontay Ingram Has Deep-League Flex Appeal

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram could be worth considering as a deep-league flex option in Week 9. In Week 8, Ingram was hardly on the field and received no touches, while teammate Emari Demercado (toe) played the bell-cow role. With Demercado out for the Week 9 game, one would assume Ingram would get the starting nod. That is a realistic possibility. The matchup, however, is a brutal one. The Cleveland Browns sport one of the best defenses in the NFL, most notably against the run. Even if Ingram is the lead back in this one, it will likely be tough sledding for the second-year running back. Additionally, it appears that the Cardinals will go with rookie quarterback Clayton Tune under center, further complicating matters. With that in mind, Ingram won't have much upside on the road in a tough draw.

Keaontay Ingram Not Worth A Start

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram should remain on the fantasy bench in Week 8. In Week 7, Ingram tallied just nine snaps on special teams and none on offense. One week after leading the Cardinals in carries with 10, he was relegated entirely to special teams, currently giving him zero fantasy value. With teammate Emari Demercado having overtaken him in the rushing game, he's difficult to rely on for consistent fantasy production. To make matters worse, The Cardinals face off against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, a team that ranks at or near the top in almost every defensive category. The lack of consistency plus the brutal matchup makes Ingram a bench stash and completely fantasy irrelevant in Week 8.
