It's hard to believe that we are already in Week 11 of the regular season. This season has flown by and been as unpredictable as ever, from many standpoints. The only sure thing in life right now is Todd Gurley being great.
The top four of my running back plays have fantastic matchups and have been playing lights out recently. Marshawn Lynch, Chris Ivory, Frank Gore, and LeSean McCoy have been very consistent when healthy. Darren McFadden and DeMarco Murray trade opponents this week, with both coming off and going into surprisingly tough run game matchups. LeGarrette Blount has as good of a chance to score every week, while Jonathan Stewart has four touchdowns in his last five games. Danny Woodhead, Ronnie Hillman and Giovani Bernard seem to have taken their backfield's main duties.
The back 26 running backs on this list are a bit of a crapshoot, with their usage proving to be very volatile. Jay Ajayi has shown well in his first two games coming off designated IR, but his playing time is just as sparse or unpredictable as any running back in this back end. The Jeremy Hill and Eddie Lacy dreams might be dead, as well.
