fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 27.0 touches over his last game, compared with 22.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Low target share
He draws 7% of BAL's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Efficient with his chances
4.6 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 3.4 over his last game. He is turning volume into yards better than most at his position.
- Touchdown-dependent
48% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. Touchdowns swing a lot from week to week, so expect some regression unless his volume grows.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (DAL) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Strong supporting cast
BAL are averaging +0.12 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
