What's crazy is that Zeke finished 7th in rushing this year by barely eclipsing 1k.

Outside of Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry, the bell cow running back seems to be a thing of the past.

Wonder if that'll continue.

It will because the NFL isn't as balanced as it used to be, why have a bellcow back in a passing league? You need RBs that can catch now. I mean, this is even impacting Zeke's carries.

Yes because resting players the past 10 years plus has worked out so great

Yeah they’ve been saying it for years, but I feel like this is the first time where there just aren’t many premier runners in the league.

Like you say, they need to be weapons in the passing game now, and that seems to be the more important aspect nowadays.
