Week 7: NFL Top-10 Running Backs Right Now
The 33rd Team's weekly top-10 RB rankings are a snapshot of where the league's best running backs are right now, taking into account the player's recent production, health, and an evaluation by our scouting department, led by former NFL team executive T.J. McCreight and assisted by scouts Justin Casey, Kevin Cohn and Evan Pritt.
Other Week 7 rankings: QB | WR
1. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns
Carries: 110 | Yards: 649 | TD: 7 | Explosive Plays: 7 | Previous Rank: 1
Comment: Chubb still tops the NFL in rushing but did not quite have the numbers he was expecting against the Patriots. However, he still averaged 4.7 yards per carry.
2. Saquon Barkley, New York Giants
Carries: 119 | Yards: 616 | TD: 4 | Explosive Plays: 5 | Previous Rank: 2
