Meanwhile Jordan Howard has averaged 24.33 carries over that span, giving him a higher percentage of his team's opportunities than any other player not named Le'Veon Bell. Howard has cemented himself as the team's top running back during that time, out-touching teammate Tarik Cohen 73 to 23, with Cohen seeing no carries in Week 7.
On the season as a whole, Howard's average of 19.86 carries per game ranks sixth among all running backs and his 12.0 fantasy points per game ranks 12th.
In Week 8, he will face off with the New Orleans Saints, who have given up at least 100 rushing yards or a touchdown to each running back with 15 or more touches against them this season.
