Gio is on pace for the fewest touches of his career...by far.
2013: 226
2014: 211 (in 13 games)
2015: 203
2016: 130 (in 10 games)
2017: 91 (full 16 games)
He's really been phased out of the offense. Even in the passing game, he's only on pace for 29 catches this year after averaging 54 for every 16 games played prior to this season.
Keep in mind, we're talking about the 11th best paid RB in the NFL.
