People say that about a lot of RBs and for the vast majority of them, they just need volume so they can finally break one that makes their numbers look better. They didn't get any better, but the gamblers fallacy finally broke in their favor.
I have rarely put much stock in the 'he needs rhythm' thing. Because man - tough shit. This is a big boy league and you eat what you kill.
If you don't EARN 15 carries, you aren't entitled to them. We're not going to feed you the ball 10 times and get nominal production from them so we can finally get 5 decent carries from you in the 4th quarter.
Produce or walk, fella. This league isn't about making things more palatable for 7th round RBs. If you can't MAKE Andy give you the ball by being productive in the first and second quarter, I really don't give a shit about getting you in a rhythm.
Because again, for the vast majority of RBs, its just bullshit anyway.
