High-usage RBs average 16.6 PPR/game next season (-3.9); CMC's receiving dominance mitigates concern.

Hartitz analyzed 30 instances of RBs getting 350-plus touches in a single season from 2015-2024 to assess whether high-usage seasons lead to crashes. Average PPR points per game the next season dropped to 16.6 (-3.9), and average yards per carry went from 4.7 to 4.1 (-0.6). However, 12 of the last 13 qualifiers played at least 13 games the next season, and Hartitz notes CMC's dominance comes primarily from receiving ability, making the yards-per-carry dropoff less concerning.
