Workhorse running backs

11 Jul , 2022
I took a look at all the other running backs to have at least 300 carries in the last 20 years. There have been 91 other backs, so about 4-5 per year...

Jared Goff

Transplant quarterbacks

While there may be some issues with learning new offenses and adjusting to new teammates, good quarterbacks are good quarterbacks...
Russell Wilson Baker Mayfield Deshaun Watson Matt Ryan

Jonathan Taylor

8 Jul , 2022
It's remarkable considering Taylor opened the 2020 season as a backup, and potentially Indianapolis' 3rd-busiest running back (behind Marlon Mack, who started that game, and Nyheim Hines)...

Red zone kickers

3 Jul , 2022
In recent years, those offenses have tended to bog down around the goal line. In both of the last two seasons, in fact, they’ve had the most field goal likely offenses in the red zone...

Bottom-feeder offenses

Running backs on bad teams

28 Jun , 2022

Wide receivers on bad teams

Rookie receivers

26 Jun , 2022

Mason Crosby

Cordarrelle Patterson

24 Jun , 2022
Not a ton of such backs, however. In the last 20 seasons, 33 running backs who were at least 30 years old at the end of the season finished with top-20 numbers (using PPR scoring)...
