The take

written by hand

I'm buying the rate and paying for the risk. 15.4 carries and 6.1 targets a game is still RB1 usage; 12.9 games at 30 with a questionable tag is the entire discount. Give him sixteen and he's back on top.

Pace extrapolates the selected weeks over 17 games. It is what that stretch was worth, not a projection — no availability, matchup or regression adjustment is applied.
