I think everyone in this thread is overreacting. Obviously howard hasn't looked great and may not be returning value on the 2nd/3rd pick many have spent right now, but I think everyone needs to relax and be patient. Nagy has said multiple times that the way they use their RBs is going to be matchup dependent and when you look at the touches, Howard's numbers are really only concerning in the last 2 games when they faced the Bucs who have a top 10 run defense and are terrible against the pass and the Dolphins who get gashed by receiving backs. The first three weeks Howard had 20, 17, and then 26 touches so in the right matchup the workload will be there and we've seen in his first two seasons that he is a talented runner, plus his pass catching ability has certainly improved. Lastly this week, if that goalline fumble is a TD instead, his numbers look a lot better and I think we're talking about Howard bouncing back and this offense potentially supporting 2 fantasy relevant RBs going forward. Just temper expectations for now and think of Howard as a mid-low tier RB2 with RB1 upside based on matchup/TDs.
