I don't think it's realistic to expect anyone to catch up to Murray, but there's still a lot of season to play.

 

Top 5 Players of Week 5:

1. Arian Foster (123 Grade)

2. Eddie Lacy (91 Grade)

3. Branden Oliver (82 Grade)

4. Ben Tate (79 Grade)

5. Frank Gore (71 Grade)

[Bay 2,003]

I love you

[seanbrock 1,684]

LeSean McCoy's back up offensive linemen don't like him very much.

[KempBolt 498]

I appreciate all the work that goes into this list. I think it reflects reality very well. My one issue is Lynch at #9-- I don't know what part of the formula led to that, but he's been better than the 9th best RB so far, IMO. Especially better than guys like Forsett and Davis.

[RazorStar 4,025]

Yards per Carry plays a significant role in this, so Davis and Forsett are doing a lot of work with limited carries. If they touch the ball less as the season goes on, they'll slide down the list in time.

 

Week 6 Running Back Ranks: (At least 7 carries a game, or 100+ carries on the season)

dat difference

[seanbrock 1,684]

Holy shit. McCoy from 30th to 15th after 1 game. Hope he can keep it going after the bye.

[RazorStar 4,025]

Sorry for the delay, and missing the week 7 rankings. Don't know what happened there, but we good now. Arian Foster has been surging up the list as of late, and now holds second by a comfortable margin. Unless Murray gets hurt, I cannot see anyone catching this record setter, who is on pace for 412 carries, 2108 yards and 14 rushing TDs. All backs on this list are currently on pace for 100 carries or more, so if it looks like a lot of names, that's why. It'll shake out to something more sensible once the injured guys dip below the threshold.

[BC 331]

I could name about 300 RBs that I would've expected to see in the top 10 instead of Justin Forsett halfway through the season. I still don't believe that's real.

[AL_Royalty 489]

Finally, a list that respects Arian's gangsta. That team's success hinges completely on that defense and Foster. If he's not there, they would have no chance of winning anything.

I could name about 300 RBs that I would've expected to see in the top 10 instead of Justin Forsett halfway through the season. I still don't believe that's real.

He knows the system and has had a few good seasons stats wise. Not all that far fetched to be honest.

Sure seems like it. But how can he dominate for the Chiefs at the same time...

Edited November 12, 2014 by RazorStar

[RazorStar 4,025]

The top 3 running backs decided to take a break last week, so the battle for second place has tightened considerably. No one is catching DeMarco Murray, who is already the 4th best RB on 2013. >_> 10 games into 2014. Yeah, he's that far ahead.

Top 5 Games of Week 13
1. LeSean McCoy 25 carries, 159 yards 1 TD, 1 Fumble (110 grade)
2. CJ Anderson 32 carries, 168 yards (104 grade)
3. Tre Mason 14 carries, 117 yards, 2 TDs (101 grade)
4. Mark Ingram 23 carries, 122 yards (76 grade)
5. Dan Herron 8 carries, 88 yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble (73 grade)

The battle for a top ten spot is getting really intense now, especially when CJ Anderson comes out of nowhere to jump right into the race. The top ten has a few usual suspects behind the breakout Bell and Forsett, but Mark Ingram has found a way to break away from his first round bustitude. May just be the contract year phenomenon but it's still worth noting.

DeMarco the gawd

[RazorStar 4,025]

Week 16 RB Rankings. I realize I haven't said as much in these blurbs, but look at how well the AFC North playoff hopefuls are running the ball this year. They have the number 2, 4, 6, and 20th backs in grade this year, and could improve further after next week's divisional games. It's a good year to be a back. Murray has the top spot all but locked up, but there is a real battle for second place as Marshawn Lynch is hungry to reach the mark.
