fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 22.0 touches over his last game, compared with 16.5 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Low target share
He draws 12% of DAL's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- League-average efficiency
3.9 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 5.2 over his last game.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (BAL) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Strong supporting cast
DAL are averaging +0.21 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
