I remember Travaris Cadet actually "started" at running back on opening day a few years ago because he was a receiver. I think it's 50/50 between him and Ingram. I think they'll split carries evenly. Whoever is on the field first will be a toss up imo. Peterson is the bigger name, he's been a huge news story, so he could for sure start. Payton likes routine and he likes his guys, so Ingram could easily start too. I don't think it'll matter much since they're likely to get equal workloads.

You think Kamara has the ability to overtake them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the potential to be a starter one day, but it would take a lot for him to beat out Ingram and Peterson. He'll take the Reggie Bush/Darren Sproles role for now.

sammymvpknight Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Im sure that this is a fantasy-slanted question. Id own Kamara in all leagues. He looks pretty special and is in the perfect offense for his skill set. I'm a strong believer the cream rises to the top. Kamara will find a way to be a very good fantasy producer very soon...but you have to be patient with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Iowa Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Agreed on Kamara. He has one BIG thing AP doesn't, and that's the ability to catch out of the backfield. AP is a big, strong runner. Ingram is strong, too, with better hands, but not great hands. Kamara is smaller, but nimble. Has patience, great balance, very good hands, and youth. He was a great acquisition.

Everything I have been hearing from camp and practices is that AP's receiving abilities look fine and should work out for him well. Of course seeing it in game is another thing.

I think AP is a big talent, I also know how he has a history of blunders when it matters; fumbles, dropped passes. I hope you're right, I hope he's over that.
