Matt Breida leads all running backs in rushing yards (184), rushing yards per game (92.0), and 8.4 yards per attempt.
In rushing and receiving touchdowns, Todd Gurley and A.J. Green are tied for the league-lead with four. Below them with three apiece are guys like James Conner, Jay Ajayi and DeSean Jackson.
