The narrative that Zeke always faces a stacked box is untrue. The stats here prove it.
In 2020, he’s facing an average of 6.3 defenders in the box, per run. That average ranks 62nd among all running backs. Zeke faces an 8-man box only 12% of the time, which is the 39th most among all running backs. And against a stacked box, Zeke averages 2.0 yards per carry.
Zeke is average, at best. He’s not a home run threat anymore, and defenses know it.
So to all of the Zeke defenders out there: PLEASE, find a new argument to use, because the “he opens things up for the rest of the offense because he garners so much attention” angle is fake news.
been saying it for years now. No one fears Zeke. The DC's would love nothing more then to watch them hand him the ball. He simply cant hurt you.
