fantasy pts / game (PPR)
- Shrinking role
He's averaging 7.0 touches over his last game, compared with 8.5 before that. Fewer chances cap his ceiling no matter how efficient he is.
- Low target share
He draws 5% of NYJ's targets. At this share he needs big plays or touchdowns to produce.
- Inefficient touches
3.2 yards per carry on the season (the typical RB is at 3.9), and 3.5 over his last game. Production is being propped up by volume more than explosiveness.
- Soft recent schedule
Opponents in his last game (DET) give up more EPA per play than the league average. Some of the recent production comes from the matchups.
- Strong supporting cast
NYJ are averaging +0.24 EPA per play on offense. An efficient offense sustains drives and creates more scoring chances.
