Nope. You don't really need him and there is no guarantee he is going to be getting the majority of the carries anyway. Without Petigout, the line is even weaker and there won't be many holes to run through.

Don't you think Pittman is going to get at least 50% of the carries?

Pittman will get more than 50% of carries... I will guess Pittman will get about 90-125 yds a game from scrimmage on the ground and thru the air. He catches lots of balls out of the backfield and will be used more than Graham.

Graham should get around 8-10 carries a game and the goal-line work, but with Petigout out and the offensive line already sucking, it's doubtful either will be very successful.
