The source notes that C.J. Ham has been used on just over 200 snaps a season on offense in the Kevin O'Connell era, compared to the Dolphins' Alec Ingold who averaged around 350-425 snaps per season under Mike McDaniel; with Frank Smith now as the Vikings' de facto run game coordinator, the Vikings may increase fullback usage significantly.

The source notes that C.J. Ham has been used on just over 200 snaps per season on offense in the Kevin O'Connell era, significantly less than fullbacks in the Kyle Shanahan tree (which Frank Smith is part of) who typically play 350-425 snaps per season. With Frank Smith now as the de facto run game coordinator, the source questions whether fullback usage will increase substantially, potentially reducing Ham's role or being replaced by rookie Max Bredeson.

The source notes that C.J. Ham has been used on just over 200 snaps per season on offense in the Kevin O'Connell era, significantly below the Shanahan-tree standard of 350-425 fullback snaps per season seen in Miami and San Francisco. With the acquisition of Frank Smith as de facto run game coordinator and the fifth-round selection of Max Bredeson, the Vikings may increase overall fullback usage, potentially reducing Ham's snap count or role.

The source notes that C.J. Ham has been used on just over 200 snaps per season in the Kevin O'Connell era, but with the acquisition of Max Bredeson and Frank Smith's influence (who worked with fullback Alec Ingold on 350-425 snaps per season in Miami), the Vikings may significantly increase fullback usage, potentially reducing Ham's role.

C.J. Ham has been used on just over 200 snaps a season on offense in the Kevin O'Connell era; this baseline is significantly lower than Shanahan-tree fullback usage (Dolphins' Alec Ingold ~400 snaps/season, 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk ~600 snaps/season), suggesting potential for increased fullback snap share under new run coordinator Frank Smith.

Vikings fullback has been used on just over 200 snaps a season in the Kevin O'Connell era; this baseline is significantly lower than Shanahan-tree fullback usage patterns (Dolphins' Alec Ingold averaged 350-425 snaps, 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk averaged 600 snaps). With the addition of Frank Smith and the draft of Max Bredeson, fullback snap count is expected to increase substantially, potentially reducing Ham's role.
