My best guess, in theory, is something like 2008 when Saints had Duece, Bush and Pierre Thomas
Distribution went as follows that year
PT — 160 touches (129 rush, 31 rec), 909 yards, 12 TDs
Bush — 158 touches (106 rush, 52 rec), 844 yards, 6 TDs
Duece — 125 touches (107 rush, 18 rec), 546 yards, 6 TDs
Doubt Peterson is catching many passes, so he's more like Duece at this stage except with the TD potential like Thomas had in 2008. Kamara is the bush comp with Ingram serving as the PT.
However, Reggie has several years experience under his belt. Kamara is a rookie. I'm not sure if he gets that many touches right off the bat.
If we assume the backfield gets about 450 touches (the same as 2016), Ingram may get 215 with AP getting 150-175. Cadet carried the ball just 4 times last year but had 40 catches. Maybe Kamara has a big role in the pass game (50+ catches) but doesn't get many rushing attempts, leaving those for Ingram and AP
