It is smarter to get fewer carries every game than 25 a game for the first half and nothing in the second.
Mixon has never played a full 16 game schedule. They better limit his workload throughout the entire season.
Averaging 20 carries a game for a full season is rare these days. Only 4 RBs have had 320 carries in a season over the last 6 years (Bell '17, Elliott '16, Peterson '15, DeMarco Murray '14). In fact only 6 RBs have had as many as 300 carries in the last 5 seasons.
Given the fact that Mixon has gone down with injury each of his first two seasons, I'd like to see them keep him at about 17-18 carries a game.
