If it's anything like last year, Cincinnati averaged 65.6 offensive plays per game (11th in NFL) and 42.48% of those were run plays.

That equals 27.87 rush plays per game, but we'll round up to 28 for the simplicity sake.

Therefore, I predict the following...
Mixon: 10-15 (on the higher side until Gio is fully healthy)
Hill: 5-10 (on the higher side until Gio is fully healthy)
Bernard: 5-10 (closer to higher side once fully healthy)
Dalton will have no more than a few designed runs too

Let's hope we don't repeat a crappy running game again (like 2016), if so we can get at least 35 carries a game
