I expected more, but he's sitting at 4.2 YPC with decent production as a receiver. It's not a rookie year that screams future star, but he at least seems useful at this level. The biggest curveball for me was Riddick's heavy involvement, as I expected him to be a non-factor here. Stack his numbers onto Abdullah's and you have something a lot closer to the rookie year I anticipated from AA.
I'm curious to see where his dynasty value settles in the offseason. His value has dropped in my estimation, but if you can get him for something like RB20-RB30 value then I'd probably still buy/hold. I kind of see him as similar to Tre Mason, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Both guys probably have the talent to yield top 15 seasons if they go to a team that utilizes them heavily, but that's not necessarily a guarantee since they lack obvious elite every down skills to command a starting role in every team context.
