Jay Ajayi’s 0.27 Rushing NEP per Carry Leads the NFL

After becoming only the fourth running back in NFL history to notch consecutive 200-yard rushing games, Jay Ajayi also took the throne as the most efficient running back in 2016. Among all running backs with 25 or more carries this season, none have a better Rushing NEP per carry than Ajayi.

He has emerged as the clear lead back for the Miami Dolphins while also cementing himself into fantasy lineups. His 32.7 standard fantasy points were more than any other player in Week 6, and his 27.6 in Week 7 were behind only Melvin Gordon and Andrew Luck.

Ajayi and the Dolphins now have two weeks to prepare for the New York Jets, who have allowed only one opposing running back all season to top 100 rushing yards.
