Top 4 contenders as of now:

Todd Gurley - 187 att, 791 yards (4.2 ypc), 8 TDs
38 rec, 425 yards, 3 TDs, 5 Fumbles (2 Lost)
225 touches, 1216 yards (5.4 ypt), 11 TDs

Kareem Hunt - 173 att, 873 yards (5.0 ypc), 4 TDs
35 rec, 335 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Fumble (1 Lost)
208 touches, 1208 yards (5.8 ypt), 6 TDs

Mark Ingram - 155 att, 806 yards (5.2 ypc), 8 TDs
34 rec, 213 yards, 0 TD, 3 Fumbles (3 Lost)
189 touches, 1019 yards (5.4 ypt), 8 TDs

La'Veon Bell - 232 att, 886 yards (3.8 ypc), 5 TDs
49 rec, 308 yards, 0 TD, 2 Fumbles (1 Lost)
281 touches, 1194 yards (4.2 ypt), 5 TDs

Last 6 games stats:

Gurley - 101 att, 429 yards (4.2 ypc), 4 TDs
18 rec, 191 yards, 0 TD, 1 Fumble (1 Lost)

Hunt - 105 att, 371 yards (3.5 ypc), 0 TD
22 rec, 178 yards, 0 TD

Ingram - 113 att, 636 yards (5.6 ypc), 8 TDs
19 rec, 88 yards, 0 TD, 3 Fumbles (3 Lost)

Bell - 145 att, 562 yards (3.9 ypc), 2 TDs
32 rec, 210 yards, 0 TD, 1 Fumble (1 Lost)


Completely unscientific method of adding last 6 games stats back into totals to come up with arbitrary 16 game projection...:

Gurley - 288 att, 1220 yards (4.2 ypc), 12 TDs
56 rec, 616 yards, 3 TDs, 6 Fumbles (3 Lost)
344 touches, 1836 yards (5.3 ypt), 15 TDs

Hunt - 278 att, 1244 yards (4.5 ypc), 4 TDs
60 rec, 513 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Fumble (1 Lost)
338 touches, 1757 yards (5.2 ypt), 6 TDs

Ingram - 268 att, 1442 yards (5.4 ypc), 16 TDs
53 rec, 301 yards, 0 TD, 6 Fumbles (6 Lost)
321 touches, 1743 yards (5.4 ypt), 16 TDs

Bell - 377 att, 1448 yards (3.8 ypc), 7 TDs
81 rec, 518 yards, 0 TD, 3 Fumbles (2 Lost)
458 touches, 1966 yards (4.3 ypt), 7 TDs

So Bell is the leading rusher by 6 yards over Ingram...on 109 more carries.

Ingram is the TD leader but needs to keep those fumbles down.

God damn are the Steelers running Bell into the ground or what?

The most shocking thing is that Hunt has not scored a TD since week 3

Just for fun, here are Kamara's projected 16 game totals using this scientific method...:
129 att, 835 yards (6.5 ypc), 7 TDs
76 rec, 747 yards, 5 TDs, 2 Fumbles (2 Lost)
205 touches, 1582 yards (7.7 ypt), 12 TDs

Bell should have taken the money. It was a damn good offer. The money is only going to go down each year he refuses it.

1 RB and 1 Flex Player (WR or RB)

He's been average to bad since week 3. He won't end up first team All-rookie the way he's going.

all those listed have 100+ more yards receiving than Ingram. Gurley has 425.
Not sure how much that is looked at for all pro-RB but it doesnt help ingram's case.

IMHO, Ingram has always been an above-average running back, but I don't know how anyone can deny he's one of the very best after what he's done the last two years. To me, it's MI or Gurley for 1st Team All-Pro.
