re: What does Ingram do this year?

4.7? You call that a low expectation?
I'd give him about 50 more carries, and 3.7 avg for zero tds and almost no recs.
I put his ceiling at < 550 yds contributing in his final Saints season.
How's that for low expectations?
Khiry, now... That's a whole different story...

Sure it is low, considering the fact that he averaged 4.44ypc after the Dallas game, 6.38 @ Carolina, and 5.21 in the playoffs against two of the better run defenses in the league, I think 4.7 is a reasonable number. Notice, the running game went exponentially better after Armstead came in. I only expect better line play if Armstead and Lelito are improvements

The 'low expectations' is purely on how many carries he'll get due to him splitting time with PT and KR.

He's never had a 0 TD season and if you're going to be taking starter time, you should be able to pass protect and catching some passes out of the backfield.


I honestly don't even think Khiry breaks 800 yards unless Ingram is out of the picture. Even on a normal basis, we have too many RBs to feed, taking sproles out just reduces some carries, but not that much.
