The D4Y SA is something that has a small, yet consistent effect. Unless you get the rock a lot, I feel those points can be spent elsewhere for more of an effect TBPH.
It's a situational SA, but if you're in the right situation (get ~15 carries a game), it can be very helpful (say on average it's a 0.5 boost to YPC, over the course of a season, that's an extra 100 yards).
Most people over look it for that very reason... or they aren't in a situation to utilize it enough to be worth the investment.
Indeed, an average of .5 ypc is what I saw with two identical backs in the same team, with the exception being that one had more D4Y than the other (4vs1) but was worse in almost everything else (Including 2 less Power Thru). Really only worth it as a #1, and the true importance won't be seen on your stats but on the team's amount of first downs and punts.
