At this point we gotta plan on a wet field and wet game

Not sure I trust Ingram to hold on to wet ball.

why?

I have actually caught myself thinking the same thing so I went and checked the stats.

he has 1280 career carries and has fumbled 14 times. That is a fumble every 91 carries or so.

He has never fumbled more than 3 times in a season.

I think his fumble issues are overblown and I am guilty of overblowing them myself.

to compare though, Kamara has fumbled 2 times in 281 career carries.

Is this a game where you give a heavy dose of kamara? Not sure I trust Ingram to hold on to wet ball. Conditions (wind and rain) don't seem to be ideal for brees throwing a bunch of down field passes. I'd hand the ball off to kamara around 15-20 times and throw him swing passes too. I'd ride Kamara to a win

Issue is Kamara isn't made to handle the punishment.

We all saw the first 4 weeks. The other thing about Kamara is that he's a secure guy, but it's different compared to Ingram. Someone who goes into the teeth of a defense like Ingram is more prone to getting things punched out, while Kamaras runs are often more to the outside or caught in space where he sees the guy coming.

This is a run kind of game if it's storming though. That's obvious.

i think its going to be lower scoring than the point total suggets.

55.5

you'd have to almost count on it if its shite conditions right?

Adrian Peterson fumbles more than Ingram. You wouldnt sit Peterson in his prime (or even now...lol) if you were worried about fumbles.

Im sure bookkeepers get pissed about over/unders when there is bad weather coming at the last minute..

In a situation like this, give them a heavy dose of Ingram to soften then up, hit them with Kamara to gash them here and there, then finish them off with Ingram again.

Actually he did. He calls me every Thursday for my input.

I don’t know why people think you can’t pass in wet conditions. It’s actually harder on the defense when the field is wet.
