FAIRpriced about rightThe Coach· Culture & winning

A volume back priced about right.

The model likes the workload — RB7 near 15.2 PPG on a 56% carry share — and 2025 backs the role: 1,252 rushing yards and 10 scores. Fair at a Round 2 cost; just know the receiving work is thin at 36 catches, so his PPR ceiling leans on touchdowns.
