Running backs are notorious for breaking down because of injury from overuse.
Why would they give Bijan 20+ carries a game? Just because you force feed him the ball doesn’t mean you win more games. Otherwise the giants would be undefeated since Saquon gets a billion touches a game. The team around Bijan is still building - they don’t even have a serviceable QB.
It makes more sense to me to use Bijan as little as possible during his rookie year since he’s a long term investment. You didn’t draft him because he was the missing piece.
