Challenger 72 Posted October 10, 2017 Also bad news for David Johnson to come back anytime soon if at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,469 Posted October 10, 2017 It sure does raise the bar for both Ingram and expecally for Kamara. If you own Kamara congrats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted October 10, 2017 I don't think anything improves AP much. Dude needs 25 carries to do something. Nola on the other hand just got a clearer picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 10, 2017 With Zeke on bye, really needed to use Kamara as RB2, very glad it happened. It improves Ingram and Kamara, they will be a nice duo going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polecatt 404 Posted October 10, 2017 It's worth a shot if you are in need of RB help but I don't see this going anywhere AP is done, hasn't done anything since 2015 RBs over 30 usually don't resurrect their careers after 2 and half seasons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BTL99 34 Posted October 10, 2017 AP is gonna beast so hard. You better get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcgangstas 41 Posted October 10, 2017 Shouldn't affect Ellington in the passing game. Don't know if anyone can run successfully behind the crappy Cardinals offensive line. Should bode well for Kamara AND Ingram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truebigdog 0 Posted October 10, 2017 I don't have any choice but to take a flyer on him as my RB's are hot garbage. Murray, Crowell, Abdullah, Mack, Lacey, D'Onta Foreman, and Chris Johnson.......Reckon I'll try and dump CJ0K for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 10, 2017 Wow!! I already had Kamara in several DFS lineups. I'm loving this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huskyhater75 242 Posted October 10, 2017 Glad to hear this, I'll look forward to benching Ajayi (I dislike him more and more every week) and going with Hunt/Kamara down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 10, 2017 People who think this affects Kamara in any way need to learn the game better. it only boosts Ingram. AP was getting like 5 carries a game and offers nothing in the passing game. Kamaras role was the same with him there and its the same with him gone. This just gives a few more carries for Ingram. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except that Coach Peyton hates Ingram and always has. I think Kamara is a lot more explosive and has a LOT more upside. Ingram is servicable, but not very exciting.

AP was getting like 5 carries a game and offers nothing in the passing game. Kamaras role was the same with him there and its the same with him gone. This just gives a few more carries for Ingram.I think it solidifies Kamara as a guy who'll get what we saw in week 4. In weeks 2 and 3 he had just 1 and 2 carries on top of his receiving work. Now he'll gets the 5-6 rushes a game as well. Small benefit for a guy who mostly sees receptions, but a perk nonetheless. I do agree that Ingram is the biggest beneficiary. He was already trending up (16 and 18 touches his last two games), but now that trend is likely to become the norm. He should be a top-15 play during most of the bye weeks. I'm amazed the Saints got something for AD. I really thought they'd just have to cut him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 10, 2017 Arizona...where old great RBs go to die in the dessert... Ingram: Slight boost: Will get a few more carries. Kamara: Slight boost: Role stays the same but will get a few more carries to spell Ingram. Peterson: Boost: I really couldn't believe how much people were paying for Kerywnn after the DJ injury. Peterson will get his chance to show he's still got it. Ellington: Slight downgrade: I don't think Arians wants Palmer throwing the ball 40-50 times a game. A lot more ball control with Peterson. DJ: No change: ARZ was getting nothing out of running game. Job will be his if and when he returns and let's pray that he does! Kerywnn Williams: DROP if for some strange reason you were still holding... CJ0K: DROP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 10, 2017 The AZ O-line is terrible. Vintage AP would struggle running behind it. The antique version doesn't stand much of a chance. I'll put in a small FAAB, but I'll be happy when I get out bid and see how much some spent on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 10, 2017 Except that Coach Peyton hates Ingram and always has. I think Kamara is a lot more explosive and has a LOT more upside. Ingram is servicable, but not very exciting. This is true but Ingram is still a beast... One would think Ingram would get those carries but because the saints hate him... you really never know.

Maulers1973 117 Posted October 10, 2017 Truth be told, they'd have been better off trading for a couple of offensive linemen. Seems that's what the weakness of the team was. Square peg in a round hole never works out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 997 Posted October 10, 2017 He has only been getting like 4 touches a game. Hopefully all 4 go to AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,323 Posted October 10, 2017 Wow I'm surprised. I mean, if AZ wanted him why didn't they just sign him when no one else had? But conditional pick so I guess they're probably not gonna lose anything here. N.O. obviously just wanted him gone - he was causing problems as we saw in that little sideline spat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Challenger 72 Posted October 10, 2017 agreed 100%. This helps Ingram more than anybody else in that offense. AP brought in because of Ingram and AP got kick to the curb because Kamara. That's a huge vote of confident from the Sean Payton to Karama, and it is a negative for Ingram going forward regardless. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 10, 2017 Like an injury was impossible? That's silly. They don't want him when DJ is not injured, makes plenty of sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 10, 2017 Like an injury was impossible? They were up against the cap and believed their cheaper options sufficed as plan B's. Peterson had no interest in playing as an emergency plan B role, he wouldn't have wanted to come when Johnson was healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We Tigers 71 Posted October 10, 2017 AP brought in because of Ingram and AP got kick to the curb because Kamara. That's a huge vote of confident from the Sean Payton to Karama, and it is a negative for Ingram going forward regardless. I think it's a misread of the situation to call the departure of Peterson a negative for Ingram. Ingram has 42 carries so far and Kamara has 15, with no real trend discernible except that both guys got more work when AD was cut down to 4 carries in London. This is a move to get to a backfield that can run or receive regardless of personnel, without a need to manufacture touches for a back who doesn't really fit the system.

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 10, 2017 Did anyone else get the feeling that the Saints were the make a wish foundation for AP and just signed him out of charity? No one wanted him, they felt bad, and decided they would give him few carries a game because they felt bad for him. Then the Cardinals rang the phone and reminded the Saints that AZ is the only place old washed up RB's can go to have their career die quietly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 10, 2017 Like an injury was impossible? So you would wanna pay Peterson to be the highest paid backup in the NFL backing up a top 3 RB who stays on the field all 3 downs? Injury is not impossible but that seems ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Injury is not impossible but that seems ridiculous. I dont know, last I heard David Johnson was gonna miss at least another 4-6 weeks and possibly more. My fear is that this means David Johnson misses more time than they initially thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
