Question: Are high-snap-count RBs higher-than-normal regression risks the following season?
Answer: Absolutely.
Explanation: FF4W researched every NFL RB who has earned 600+ snap counts since this stat started getting recorded in 2012. The results are overwhelming: RB declines are the norm in the campaign immediately following a 600+ touch season, and are even more pronounced the higher their snap count.
Why This Matters: By knowing the risks of drafting RBs coming off high-snap-count seasons, we can minimize risk by looking elsewhere for more reliable RBs.
