Once a RB hits around 1800 carries in their career and 27 years old there starts a steep trend downward.
Marshawn Lynch (29) has over 2000 carries.
LeSean McCoy (will be 27 when season starts) is within one season of that.
Matt Forte (29) is over it
Also, when a RB hits 370 carries in a season tend to face another sharp decline.
DeMarco Murray (27) had 392 last year.

Plenty of reasoning to expect fall offs for some if not all of these players.
