quote:

1. Marshon Lattimore, CB, New Orleans Saints

PFF Grade: 92.7

PFF Elite Stat: Lattimore has allowed just 0.74 yards per coverage snap this season, the ninth-lowest rate among 118 qualified cornerbacks.

Lattimore continues to lead the race for our Rookie of the Year award as we close the book on Week 11. He’s one of just 33 NFL players to currently possess an elite overall grade (90.0 and above is considered elite), a status he’s held for a month now. Opposing quarterbacks have just a 47.4 passer rating when throwing into Lattimore’s coverage, the fifth-lowest rating allowed by a corner this season and his 288 snaps spent in coverage are the seventh most among cornerbacks who are yet to allow a touchdown this season.


quote:

4. Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

PFF Grade: 85.2

PFF Elite Stat: Kamara ranks third among running backs with an average of 2.39 yards per route run.

The second Saints rookie within the top four on this list, Kamara has really taken off since New Orleans traded Adrian Peterson to the Cardinals during their bye week. Since Week 6, Kamara has finished four out of six games with an overall grade of at least 80.0, eclipsing the 85.0 mark in three of them. The third-round rookie ranks fourth – just trailing Kareem Hunt – among running backs with an 86.5 elusive rating and simply put, good things happen when the Saints hand him the ball. Kamara has gained either a first down or a touchdown on 40.3 percent of his rush attempts, the best rate among running backs by a significant margin.

Honorable Mentions:

Pretty impressive. If he keeps up this pace he may catch Shon.

In the perfect world where we somehow traded next year's 1st and have gotten Rueben Foster too.

Having Carl Lawson right now would be nice.
But our draft is an all time great in the NFL if things continue the way they have.

Curious if Carl Lawson would have started over Okafor.
Now the fun part, is Hendrickson any good?


Lawson: 309 snaps, 8 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 15 QB Hits
Hendrickson: 213 snaps, 11 tackles, 2.0 Sacks, 1 FF, 2 PDs, 1 STF, 5 QB Hits

I'm just a little shocked that Hunt is still getting graded so highly. He has really fell off since the beginning of the season.

As underwhelming as McCaffrey is running the ball...he might be the best receiver out of all the RB's in the league. He has the highest PFF score of any RB as a receiver. That's why his score is so high.

Still, I'd much rather Kamara...especially when you consider where they were drafted. Kamara might be the best all around & most complete RB in the NFL. Gurley & Bell are pretty complete as well.

Oh, he's a very good receiver for a running back. But he's been absolutely terrible at his first job as a RUNNING back.

Is he still averaging less than 3 yards a carry?
