Week 3 Elite Running Back Struggles

The Elite Running Backs are Struggling 

Adrian Peterson: -- Averaging 90 yards rushing and a TD is average for AP but he hasn't had any of his typical huge games.


Arian Foster: -- He seems to be as healthy as ever but has not got rolling.  He only got 12 carries this week but he is averaging just over 60 yards rushing and has only one TD this season.

Ray Rice: -- 72 yards rushing combined in his first 2 games then missed his week 3 matchup.

Marshawn Lynch: -- Beast Mode had one huge week against SF where he got 3 TDs and 98 rush yards but his other two games he has no TDs and an average 112 rushing yards combined.

Doug Martin: -- Only has 1 TD all year and 19 total receiving yards.  He is putting up solid rush numbers though but he has been average.

CJ Spiller: -- Spiller left the week three game with a thigh injury and never got going that game with 9 rush yards on 10 carries.  He has also failed to score a TD this year and has not received the touches we thought he would (17 a game) or receiving yards (14 a game)

Trent Richardson: -- Averaging 46 rush yards a game and just changed his scenery to Indianapolis where Bradshaw should steal some of his carries.  Also he just scored his first TD this week in his first carry as a Colt.

Exceptions Jamaal Charles and Lesean Mccoy: -- They are both averaging over 125 yards per game total and have 3 and 2 touchdowns respectively.  You could also probably put AP here
