Hard to assume a RB that has an injury history and turns 30 tomorrow is even considered likely to have a couple more seasons of normal production. The RB fall off is generally sudden and steep. Even before this, I was staying away from him in fantasy before maybe the 3rd or 4th round.
He needs 1200 yards to crack into the top 20 rushers of all-time, but that would put him one spot ahead of Corey Dillon, and he's not making the HOF any time soon. Hell he needs 1,500 yards to pass Fred Taylor, and he's far from a lock to ever make it.
Not a lock by any means.
You're assuming worst case scenario. If he has 2 more years like his 2 previous he'll be top 15 in rushing yards and rushing TD's. And that's not even accounting for what he's done receiving.
And he's played 15 or more games in 7 of his 9 seasons. And the least amount of games he's played in a season is 12. I wouldn't call that injury prone.
