I pulled up Gio's game log from 2017, and here are the games he got more than 5 carries:
7 carries - 40 yards
13 carries -77 yards
11carries -62 yards
14 carries -30 yards
23 carries -116 yards
10 carries -52 yards
Total
78 carries - 377 yards - 4.8 YPC
(Note: This is only an average of 13 carries a game)
If he saw this workload over the course of full season, where he actually got at least a decent amount of work, he would have 1,005 yards on only 205 touches.
I think his YPC this year (4.36) is an example of how it can be misleading, and why usage matters. It gets drug down by a bunch of 1, 2, 3 carry games, where he has no rhythm, and he's getting gabage touches.
Here are his receiving totals for the above 6 games (rec-yards):
1 -39
2-19
6-68
3-13
7-52
6-18
Total 22 rec, 209 yards. Projects to: 59 rec, 557 yards.
If you get him the ball his numbers and averages come up. He does well when given the opportunity.
