Every week in this space I look at the performances that surprised us, for better or worse. Who was unexpectedly good, and why? Who dramatically disappointed us, and how? The goal is to figure out what we can trust in going forward.

His touchdown production has slowed lately, too, but is still higher than most running backs.
