How does total career touches (carries + receptions) effect RB production for the following season? Taking data from the last 6 seasons (2016-2022) we look at top 10 ranked RB for each season and their total career touches before that following season. A THREAD of what we found:
There are only two seasons since 2016 where an RB with over 1400 total career touches has finished top 10. Lesean McCoy 2016 - RB4 (1996 touches) and Lesean McCoy 2017 - RB7 (2280 touches). #fantasyfootball #nfl
Only 5 RBs since 2016 (out of 279 total rbs with 125 min carries 2016-2021) that have finished in the top 10 with over 1150 total career touches.
- Lesean x2 (RB4, RB7)
- Zeke x2 (RB7: 2021 - 1654 touches, RB9: 2020 - 1358 touches)
- Demarco Murray (RB5: 2016: 1342 touches)

We received requests and feedback about our last touches report asking to see the full pool of RBs and their total touches. Also, requests for more years of data due to strength of the 2017 rb draft class and not much talent coming in the early 2010s from the RB position.
Before I present the data, I want you to remember that the nfl has changed drastically through the decade, especially for the RB position. So here we have our full unbiased 2011-2021 (11 seasons) RB touches report. A THREAD:
We look at all RBs with that have been drafted in fantasy football, or have an ADP. When mentioning ADP in this thread, it’s important to note we are referring to ADP among RBs. (I.E ADP of 5 means 5th rb off the board) Here's how many RBs have been drafted in fantasy by year:

The Case Against Chase - A THREAD: First of all, I want to say that I don’t dislike Ja’Marr Chase the player. Actually, I love Ja’Marr Chase the player. I think he is a dog, and a future star of the league.
But I don’t love him for the 2022 fantasy season at his current ADP of WR3 and the 9th overall player off the board in PPR according to ECR. Some experts even have him ranked as their number one receiver for 2022.
Ja’Marr had a historic rookie season with 81 catches for 1,455 yards and 13 TDs. He was a big play superstar, averaging 18 yards per reception. Those big plays included six receptions of more than 40 yards that went for TDs.
