fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 23.0 touches over his last game, compared with 13.5 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Low target share
He draws 8% of CAR's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Efficient with his chances
4.5 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 4.3 over his last game. He is turning volume into yards better than most at his position.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (CLE) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Struggling offense around him
CAR are averaging -0.12 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
