Hitting that mark on occasion isn't a problem, but if you're averaging that many touches a game, the guy's going to be beat to shit and gassed by the end of the year.
"oh well it's just 6 more touches/gm" is crazy - that's a full 33% more contact. It's nearly 100 more times he gets hit over the course of a year. Yes, there's a massive difference between 18/19 touches and 24/25.

So 320 total touches is too much and you want to keep it under 300?
Okay. Whatever you say.
I'm okay with a starting RB getting the load of a starting RB.
