1. RB Ezekiel Elliott, 1st round
190 snaps on offense (65.5%), 1 snap on special teams (0.9%)
Elliott leads the NFL in a lot of production metrics:
No. 1 with 103 rushing yards per game
No. 1 with 27 first downs
No. 1 with 140 rushing yards after contact
On Sunday, Elliott could become the first rookie in the Super Bowl era to have 20-plus carries in each of his first five games.
And while other running backs have more impressive efficiency stats than Elliott - his yards per attempt is a middle-of-the-field 4.4 yards - no other back has a better success rate than Elliott. Elliott tops the league in success rate with 61%, a sign that he's getting the important yards (or "dirty yards" as Jason Garrett likes to call them). Success rate measures a back's ability to get 40% of the required yards on first down, 60% of yards on second down, and 100% of yards on third down.
