Power RB in committee role. Physical between-the-tackles runner with goal-line and short-yardage usage.

RB21 with a 13% target share gives him a real PPR floor, and a 1.5-point spread keeps the run game live all four quarters.

The call

A 13% target share is heavy usage for a back — that receiving work is the floor that makes 13.7 projected points reliable rather than touchdown-dependent.
52% snap share confirms he's the lead body in this backfield, not a rotational piece, and the workload has held across eight games.
A 1.5-point spread and a 23.5 implied team total mean no negative script blowout risk; the Giants can stay committed to him regardless of which way the game breaks.
The knock is the split snap count — he's not a bell cow, so the ceiling is capped unless he finds the end zone. That's an RB2 profile, and RB2s start in 12-team leagues.
