Bijan Robinson now has 2,181 scrimmage yards and 17 TDs in 16 career games with Michael Penix Jr Almost at a full seasons worth
Drake London now has 105 catches, 1,576 yards nad 9 TDs in 16 career games with Michael Penix Jr
Brian Robinson Jr has double-digit touches in 3 straight games. 4 TDs in last 2 games He's a flex option with byes coming up or as an injury replacement
David Montgomery was propped up by TDs in Week 1, but has largely been ineffective all season despite some great matchups I'm very worried
Bryce Young has played 4 games this season He's thrown for the 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8th most yards in any game in his career in those 4 games
Chuba Hubbard has 9 runs of 10+ yards this season The only backs with more are James Cook (15), Kenneth Walker (14), Jonathan Taylor (12) and Jahmyr Gibbs (12)
Kenneth Walker has 40 missed tackles forced this season No one else even has 30
