This isn't accurate. Over the last 17 games, has Charles been carrying the ball a lot in short-yardage? No!
It would be different if you were talking about an extrapolation, but we're talking about
17 actual games.
I don't think 297 carries would kill Charles. That's 17 carries over 17 games, and right now he's averaging 14.5 carries per game.
