From the article

Jeanty carried the ball 266 times for 975 yards as a rookie, averaging 3.7 yards per attempt. Now consider what happens if his efficiency improves without his workload increasing at all. Give Jeanty those same 266 carries at Sunday's rounded average of 4.4 yards, and he finishes with approximately 1,170 rushing yards.

Jeanty's 4.4 YPC in Week 1 vs. 3.7 rookie average projects 1,170 rushing yards on same carries.

Jeanty averaged 4.4 yards per carry in Week 1, a significant improvement over his rookie 3.7 yards per attempt (266 carries, 975 yards). Excluding the fourth quarter when the Raiders ran out the clock, Jeanty averaged 6.0 yards per carry on 17 attempts for 102 yards through three quarters. The source projects that if Jeanty maintains 4.4 yards per carry on the same 266 rookie carries, he would finish with approximately 1,170 rushing yards—a 195-yard improvement without increased workload.
