#9 Melvin Gordon - Los Angeles Chargers - 2017 total = 229.1

Melvin Gordon comes in at number 9 after finishing the 2017 season as the 7th rusher with 1105 yards and 12 total TDs. He marked career highs in rushing yards, rushing attempts and receptions. Austin Ekeler did come in to steal some 3rd down work, but he's not a first or second down back, so Gordon's workload won't be affected for the coming season. The Chargers also reinforced their O-Line with the addition of Mike Pouncey. They also get last year's draft pick, Forrest Lamp, back after injury.

The Chargers offense has become quite the force, and Gordon will look to continue his great rushing form from the past couple of years into this new season.
