fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Bigger role
He's averaging 2.0 touches over his last game, compared with 1.0 before that. More opportunity is the main reason the production has risen.
- Inefficient touches
3.3 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 5.5 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Scoring without touchdowns
0% of his fantasy points come from touchdowns. His yardage is doing the work, so there is upside if the touchdowns start coming.
- Tough recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (SF) give up less EPA per play than the league average. He has been producing against strong opponents, so the numbers are probably underselling him.
- Struggling offense around him
MIA are averaging -0.12 EPA per play on offense. Stalled drives and fewer red-zone trips limit what he can produce.
