I reference this stat a lot in myarticles. Running backs who carry the ball 380 or more times in a season tend to disappoint the following year.Let's take a look at every running back who has led the league in carries the past 20 years. As you'll see, except for THREE real instances (two of which were by the most durable running back of all time), they've disappointed their fantasy owners.Click here for morearticles.1988.1989.1990.1991.* - One of three real exceptions to the rule.1992.1993.1994.* - One of three real exceptions to the rule.1995.1996.1997.1998.1999.* - One of three real exceptions to the rule.2000.2001.2002.2003.* - Ricky Williams led the 2003 running backs in carries (392), but left the NFL in 2004 to tour with Lenny Kravitz.2004.2005.2006.2007.* - Not enough carries to warrant concern2008.2009.2010.* - Michael Turner started the year extremely well, but killed his fantasy owners down the stretch. He averaged 3.6 YPC or worse in six of his final seven games, and he scored only two touchdowns between Weeks 10-16.2011.2012.2013.2014.2015.2016.2017.2018.2019.
