Ezekiel Elliot has helped the Dallas Cowboys to a solid 6-2 record at the halfway point of the season. He has rejuvenated his career after a disappointing 2020 campaign. He is well on his way to eclipsing 1000 rushing yards this season and remains a key factor in the Cowboys' chances of making a Super Bowl run this year.
#4 - Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals - 636 rushing yards
Joe Mixon on getting team over the hump: “I really want it for the city. It’s been down years in Cincinnati.”
Joe Mixon is having an excellent season with the Cincinnati Bengals. He currently ranks fourth in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He is one of the more underrated running backs in the NFL, cemented in the top five, but he doesn't always get the credit he deserves. The Bengals' passing game gets most of the recognition, but their rushing attack is just as important.
