That said, there are 27 RBs with 150 touches. Fournette is 18th in yards per carry and 20th in yards per reception. He is still an inefficient compiler at RB who is a square peg in the round hole that is the modern NFL.

We aren't winning anything of significance again while he is the centerpiece of the offense, thus we should not pay him as such. Let some other stupid team do that.

Kinda of half told stats isn't it? And this is coming from somebody who isn't the biggest Fournette fan (I hated the pick and still do). Hes been solid this season, but there's no need to pay him or anything like that. Let his contract run out and go from there..

But back to the numbers. 150 touches is just slightly over 9 touches a game (if you figure 16 games into the mix, 10 touches over 15games).. Kind of skewed numbers in the big picture of things, considering Fournette has 341 touches throughout 15 games so far..

What does that number look like vs RBs with say 200 touches, 250 touches, or 300 touches? That'd give a much better look, in the big picture of things...
