and his overall stats are not as dominating as Elliot, Gurley and Barkley -- he is not a bell weather runner in terms of the number of carries he get either
also none of them have come on quite as strong in the second half games the way Barkley has
Kamara hasn't had nearly the volume or total production as the rest so even though he's 2nd in TDs with 15, I'd put him 5th.
Then I'd go Barkley/McCaffrey for the last 2 spots with Elliott the odd man out. They've outscored him (each with 13 TDs vs 9 TDs for Elliott) and they've been the two most efficient RBs in the league with McCaffrey a hair ahead of Barkley due to higher usage in the passing game.
Elliott's also the least efficient of these RBs by a healthy margin (>0.5 yards per touch).
Absolutely. It's basically this same group as the only AFC RBs that would sniff it are/were Hunt (not happening), James Conner, and Phillip Lindsay but the latter two have far fewer total yds than Zeke/Barkley/Gurley/McCaffrey.
Might be in the Super Bowl, so that would take care of one of those guys. And how can you dismiss Zeke when he LEADS THE NFL IN RUSHING?!
He leads in all purpose yards too. And I wouldn't dismiss him outright, but I think Gurley is a lock (6 more TDs than anyone) and would have Barkley and McCaffrey slightly ahead of Elliott due to better efficiency (total yardage between the 3 is close, but far fewer touches for the latter two) and more TDs.
Without him, they are lucky to be a 2 win team.
He's up there with Mahomes, Kelce and Gurley if I recall the list I saw last week.

Brees
Mahomes
Gurley
Barkley
Conner
Goff
Antonio Brown
Kamara
Tyreek Hill
Kelce
If not, Zeke and Kamara out for me.
I just jinxed him...
Barkley: 209 att 1124 yds 9 TDs 5.4 y/a 78 rec 629 yds 4 TD 8.1 y/r 1753 total yds 6.11 yds/touch
Elliott: 268 att 1262 yds 6 TDs 4.7 y/a 65 rec 502 yds 3 TD 7.7 y/r 1764 total yds 5.3 yds/touch
Gurley : 244 att 1203 yds 15 TD 4.9 y/a 49 rec 504 yds 4 TD 10.3 y/r 1707 total yds 5.8 yds/touch
Kamara : 173 att 793 yds_ 11 TD 4.6 y/a 70 rec 591 yds 4 TD 8.4 y/r 1384 total yds 5.7 yds/touch
McCaff : 179 att 926 yds_ 7 TDs 5.2 y/a 86 rec 701 yds 6 TD 8.2 y/r 1627 total yds 6.14 yds/touch
Bold = leader
Gurley makes it on 19 TDs alone.
Kamara hasn't had nearly the volume or total production as the rest so even though he's 2nd in TDs with 15, I'd put him 5th.

stupid game not worth the injury risk.
Me too...but on the flip side, you know the kid wants to go. It's basically his stamp on a terrific rookie season.

Gurley....yes.
Elliot....God I hope not!

Barkley
Elliott
McCaffrey
-- All first round picks!
He's a huge marketing coup for the NFL right now.
Ignorant Amd arrogant.
Fine. Be named. But give the nod to the next guy.
But he wouldn't. He'd respectfully show up and play. You kmow it.
