#5 - Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team - 800 rushing yards
Antonio Gibson has found his way into the top five in rushing yards for the first time this year. He is on a hot stretch right now, rushing for 294 yards combined over the last three games.
His solid contributions are a big reason why the Washington Football Team is on an active four-game winning streak entering Week 14.
Great effort by Antonio Gibson here. DE doesn't get cracked inside and is left free to pursue. Gibson makes a strong cut back inside to make him miss and then picks up the 1st down https://t.co/LpmzGkgZYR
#4 - Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns - 867 rushing yards
Nick Chubb has played a fewer number of games this season than any player in the top 20 in rushing yards. He is fourth-most this season due to his effective and powerful running style.
He breaks a ton of tackles and his 5.8 rushing yards per carry is the highest average in the NFL among all running backs.
