RB Usage FAQ

What is carry share?

Carry share is a back's carries divided by team rushing attempts. It shows who truly owns the backfield.

Why does RB usage matter for waivers?

When a starter loses snaps or gets hurt, the handcuff with the next-highest carry share and red-zone carries usually inherits the workload.

Carry share vs rushing yards?

Yards can hide committee roles. Carry share and red-zone carries reveal who will score when opportunities open.
