Elite is surely no more than the top handful, if there's ten "elite" running backs in the league then how s**t do the "average" ones have to be?How do you define elite? Lindsay rushed for over 1000 yards with terrible QB play.
Melvin Gordon is definitely Tier 1 in my eyes.
edit: As was Hunt on KC.

Holistically, of course. However you define it, you've got to draw the line somewhere otherwise "elite" turns into "above average". For me, I draw the line after Bell, Gurley and Elliott.The question is how you do define the top handful then?
Purely on numbers? Circumstances? Offensive Line?
When GG named Chris Carson I went pfff myself, then I looked at the stats and saw he finished 5th in the league in rushing this year... with same average per carry as Elliot has.
Tell me Hunt and Gordon aren't in the top handful if they play every game this year.
Kamara is a receiving scatback not a running back...Anyone see a high level Tier 1 RB on this list besides Kamara in Week 9??

Rams schedule and how did they concede the leagues worst rushing defense facing that schedule?
Realistically, all the RBs I mentioned are statistically among the best in the NFL THIS SEASON.
rams havent been good against the run, but there have been above average RBs on their schedule all season too.Yeah, but they played the Rams.
I mean, they made Wendell Smallwood and our rushing attack look dangerous.
So does the RT get credited a sack there?Joke of a decision refs. Icing on the turd cake.
