Pros / cons +
Pros
- Entrenched, unchallenged bellcow role in a run-first offense
- 2025: 1,595 rush yds (2nd NFL), 16 rush TD, 5.2 YPC on 307 att - no efficiency decline yet
- O-line run-blocking a strength; offseason guard upgrades target the one weakness (pass pro), not run blocking
- No current injury designation; healthy entering camp per Aug 2026 reporting
- Vegas win total of 11.5 (tied for NFL highest) signals positive game script
Cons
- Age 32, 300+ carries in each of last two years - heavy-workload decline curve for backs 29+ is a real historical pattern
- New HC Jesse Minter (defensive background, first season) creates scheme-continuity uncertainty
- Minimal receiving role caps PPR ceiling
- Two straight 16-rush-TD seasons carry real TD regression risk toward the mean
- Footballguys flagging fumble-rate and workload concerns
