The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ivory had seven carries for 47 yards, all coming during the Saints’ first two drives. Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas – who was making his own return from an ankle injury — carried the rushing load for the Saints. Payton didn’t update the severity of Ivory’s injury, but with the Saints getting healthy at the right time, it sounds like he was playing it cautious.
