5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 11

Rob Kelley Has Handled 75.28% of the Washington Redskins Carries Over the Past Three Weeks

Over the past three weeks, only five players have received a higher percentage of their team's carries than Rob Kelley.

Since taking over as the starter in Week 8, he has carried the ball 21, 22, and 24 times, respectively. Carrying the ball 20 or more times is something former starter Matt Jones had only done once all season prior to losing his spot to Kelley. To expel any doubts over who is the starting running back for Washington, Jones has been a healthy scratch the past three weeks while Kelley has averaged more carries per game than all but two running backs in the NFL.

Kelley has racked up four touchdowns over the past three games, including three in Week 11, when he led all players with 31.70 fantasy points. Ezekiel Elliott and LeGarrette Blount are the only other players with as many rushing touchdowns over the past three games.

All four of his rushing touchdowns have come from inside or at the 10-yard line, and his 91.67% market share of Washington's red zone carries is tied with Le'Veon Bell for the highest share in the league.

In Week 12, Kelley will be up against the Dallas Cowboys, who have given up a red zone rushing touchdown to an opposing running back in three of their past four games.
