Running Back: Dion Lewis

big gains and first downs. He turned all six of his receptions into either first downs or touchdowns in what ended up being a very efficient night by our metrics. Lewis now ranks third among all running backs in Total NEP on the season behind just Devonta Freeman and Danny Woodhead.

The rest of the running backs this week were led by Mark Ingram's +6.32 performance. Todd Gurley now made it four straight weeks of 100-yards on the ground, as he continues to to build his NFL legacy. C.J. Anderson picked up enough garbage time yards to round out the rest of the list, but this backfield is still Ronnie Hillman's (he out-snapped Anderson 38 to 27).
