Yea, I chose 4.0 and greater but if we took my numbers down to 3.5 (essentially anyone who can get a 1st on 3 carries) we are at nearly 30 backs and if we open it up to people who only averaged 9 carries a game instead of 10 we are close to 35. In reality, most guys can be effective runners if given enough opportunities but most guys work out of committees which is why workhorses like Mixon get a lot of the praise for volume stats. In reality Chub and Taylor averaging an INSANE 5.8 a carry should be the talk of the league, that is wild for as many carries as they get.
Chubb and Taylor are far and away the best backs in the league and I’ve led this argument against plenty of folks who come screaming “King Henry”. I also recognize that it is hard to separate a RB from their o-line, and both of those guys have wonderful lines but I agree, their performance is NUTS.
Another guy that I really like is Ekeler. He doesn’t get brought up much but he is a dynamic back that I am a huge, huge fan of.
