McCaffrey is a 201 pound back who is touching the ball 30 times per game on average. I don't think I am equating "needs more touches" and "Sanders is the best." I didn't say he should get 30 touches a game and McCaffrey should average 5. I think there's a little wiggle room there.
Do we really thinking giving a 201 pound sophomore the ball thirty times a game is not inviting injury? Look, I get that McCaffrey is a special back. But Sanders is averaging almost ten yards a carry. TEN. If Sanders had enough carries to qualify, he would be #2 in the NCAA. McCaffrey is currently #51. But the minimum carries per game to be considered is ten.

Current ypc != ypc w/ more touches.
By that logic we should always throw to Rector; every four plays we would have a touchdown.
