Thing is...fumbles were never a problem before.
Most people don't know that Eddie Georges first two Ohio State runs were fumbles.....near/at the endzone. So good runners do have ruts...so to speak.
I can't for the life of me figure out why zeke is fumbling. If I were a hater like Aria, Roy or starfan...I;d say "the fat got in the way" ...or "too much blunt".
Maybe it's like you said....he's changing the way he runs for more bling yards instead of just hammering?
(PS>..you didn't say that EXACTLY....but if zeke is swinging his free arm around...it;s changed)
Other runners have gotten to where they fumbled too much, and fixed the problem. Tiki Barber had 9, 8, 9 and 9 fumbles in his 4th thru 7th year, but even though his carries increased the next year he had only 5, and 1 & 3 his last two years. Adrian Peterson had 9 and 7 his 2nd and 3rd year, but dropped to 1 the next 2 years.
So it's certainly possible he'll get back to less fumbles. This is such a crazy year you can't really take anything that's happened or is happening and say it's going to be the same from here on...
