You never want to see a player of Derrick Henry’s quality go down it just makes the NFL less fun and it’s a crappy way to win a wager.Īnd with Henry sidelined, Taylor is quite literally running away with the rushing title.īut, if Taylor were to sustain a Henry-esque injury (or even one that keeps him out three or four weeks), we like Mixon to take the lead. NFL Rushing Leader Odds: Best Bet Joe Mixon +1200 But he did return to the field in Week 12 and is in as good a position as anyone to win the rushing title if Taylor goes down. The problem for him has been availability, as he has played in three fewer games than Joe Mixon and four fewer than Taylor. The Browns love to run the football, have an elite offensive line and punish teams late in games by unleashing Chubb as their battering ram.
The fourth-year back is averaging 5.8 yards per attempt in nine games and is fourth in the league in rushing yards (third if we don’t count Henry) despite being ninth in attempts. Chubb might be the best pure runner in the NFL.
