He carried 242 times last season, 13th most at the position, on an 83rd-percentile snap share, and the consensus projects 239 carries again, good for RB26 and 176 points. Half-PPR drafters still let him fall to pick 82, RB32, six spots below that projection. The discount has understandable roots: a 20.2 average implied team total that ranks 27th, receiving work as shallow as it gets at 6.2 yards per reception, three lost fumbles, and a season that finished 12 points under its expected total. At 29 there is no upside narrative left to sell. What remains is a floor argument, a locked-in workload and seventeen games played, which is more than most names in this range can claim, and the market is charging less than the boring version is worth.",
