fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 8.0 touches over his last game, compared with 6.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- League-average efficiency
3.6 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 4.6 over his last game.
- Touchdown-dependent
45% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. Touchdowns swing a lot from week to week, so expect some regression unless his volume grows.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (NE) 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
JAX are averaging +0.23 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
