That'd be 4th most in the offense if by a single person. Add another 17 targets for Perine and Trayveon Williams, and you're looking at 102 targets to all RBs.
That 102 total targets to RBs is 17th in the NFL. Ahead of the following playoff teams: SEA, CHI, PIT, CLE, BUF, LAR, BAL, and TEN (57% of playoff teams).
Here's the data in case you're interested - https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/reports/targets-distribution/rb.php
Thanks Ocho, didn't know that. Good stuff, I just hope this keeps up and once in awhile we see both Mixon and Gio out there
at the same time. I think this is an unpredictable formation with both in the backfield similar to what we used to run back in the
late 80's the last time we went to a Super Bowl.
