Here's a list of the RBs with the most yards in 2020:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/stat/rushing/table/rushing/sort/rushingYards/dir/desc
He's currently 5th in rushing yards, but if you look at the top 50 RBs by yardage, only 3 other RBs have a lower average yards per carry(3.6).
He's probably top 16, I don't know about "easily top 10." Even with blocking he's more of a hot and cold kind of runner who relies on popping a really long run from time to time rather than grinding out consistent yards(the latter is preferable according to pff articles that I've read. It also makes sense logically - if you call runs you want safe, steady yardage).
I believe that his contract is probably about 15%-20% over what's fair market value. The macro strategic decision to pay out the nose for the current RB room seems goofy.
