He's getting 33 carries for 235 yards over the last two games (vs. 24/176 the two prior), but he's also on pace for just 45 receptions, down from 61 last year.

That's a symptom of defences keying on him and wiping out his screen/check-down value, forcing the offence into predictable first-and-long runs.
