Players running with the ball will avoid defenders who are blocked but have no qualms going right by the interaction- they won't try to actively fake out or brace for an impact against someone who is blocked.
But they will when a player is on the ground. They should use the exact logic they do for blocked players, it's a lot faster and easier for a player to shed a block- usually- than to stand back up.

Here you can see the HB weirdly sidestep and put on the elusive moves - even having brace for impact proc because he is convinced this downed player is going to grab him, if HBs did this around blocked players they'd never move the ball at all. So please, can we make the logic a ballcarrier uses treat a downed player the same as one who has an engaged block on him?
