Nick Chubb has become the first player in @Browns history to record 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first four seasons.
#4 - Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans - 937 rushing yards
It's amazing that Derrick Henry still remains in the top five in rushing yards, considering he hasn't played a game in over a month. This will likely be the last week that he remains in the top five, with other players now well within striking distance.
