When you have an elite QB, an RB is not really an important addition
Not my opinion, what the stat nerds say.

You do realize that a team is not stuck with a finite amount of downs right. If a team gets a First down- they are awarded 4 More downs. The more First downs you get- the better chance to score points.
So if you have a back like CEH that can pull first downs out of his hat like a magician- the offense is going to have More chances to score.
Did the draft nerds watch this offense struggle with short-yardage pickups for a majority of the season last year? If you Punt- you do not get more plays.
I hope that helps. First downs are Good on Offense- Punts are Bad.
