A touchdown machine — just don't overpay for the touchdowns.

The model likes the volume: RB3, about 17.6 PPG, a projected 14 scores. But 2025's 13 rushing touchdowns on 929 yards is a scoring rate that tends to regress. He's a fair back at his Round 1-2 cost for the workload; price the TDs as a bonus, not the baseline.
