2. (1-1) Ezekiel Elliott: 44 carries/185 yards (4.2 YPC)/2 TDs ... 9 catches/64 yards (7.1 AVG)/1 TD
3. (1-1) Alvin Kamara: 25 carries/95 yards (3.8 YPC)/3 TDs ... 14 catches/146 yards (10.4 AVG)/1 TD
4. (0-2) Le'Veon Bell: 6 carries/14 yards (2.3 YPC)/0 TDs ... 2 catches/32 yards (16.0 AVG)/0 TDs (INJURED: Unknown length.)
5. (0-2) David Johnson: 22 carries/111 yards (5.0 YPC)/1 TD ... 5 catches/48 yards (9.6 AVG)/0 TDs

7. (2-0) Derrick Henry: 56 carries/200 yards (3.6 YPC)/0 TDs ... 3 catches/15 yards (5.0 AVG)/0 TDs
8. (0-2) Joe Mixon: 35 carries/115 yards (3.3 YPC)/0 TDs ... 5 catches/42 yards (8.4 AVG)/0 TDs
9. (2-0) Kenyan Drake: 36 carries/146 yards (4.1 YPC)/1 TD ... 4 catches/14 yards (3.5 AVG)/0 TDs

60% of the Top-10 are playing on an 0-2 team.
50% of the Top-10 are under 4.0 YPC.
20% of the Top-10 are on pace to reach 300 carries this year (would have been 30% if not for McCaffrey's injury.)
20% of the Top-10 are on a winning team. (Oddly neither of those two are doing particularly great with 3.6 YPC and 4.1 YPC.)
10% of the Top-10 are on a Top-10 rushing offense (he's on a 1-year transition tag).
I think this huge RB payday offseason will be viewed as one of the biggest wide spread offseason failures in very short order since back in 2011 when a handful of teams were reaching for 2nd-3rd round QBs in the 1st (the only 3 non-Pro Bowlers in the first 12 picks that year were Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder). Paying RBs is just not a huge smart money bet any more these days compared to other spots on a roster.
Can't say you're worth $12m/yr and then not produce. Any RB can produce behind a good OL. Mixon needs to pick it up.
