#3 - Dalvin Cook

Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook

Dalvin Cook has finished in the top 10 in rushing yards in each of the last three consecutive seasons. He has also eclipsed 1,300 scrimmage yards in each of those seasons, finishing within the top 15 among all offensive players each season.

Cook has proven to be consistent and efficient, averaging five or more yards per touch. He has also averaged at least 4.5 yards per carry in each of his five seasons in the NFL so far. Making his totals even more impressive is that he's never played more than 14 games in a single season.

#2 - Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor

Jonathan Taylor has only seen two seasons in the NFL but has already established himself as one of the top offensive players in the league. His impressive rookie season featured him finishing sixth in scrimmage yards among all players.

Taylor was incredible during the 2021-22 NFL season, leading all players in scrimmage yards by a wide margin. He led every other player by at least 200 scrimmage yards or more during his breakout season and is projected to have another heavy workload this year.

#1 - Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans RB Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry had a breakout year during the 2019-20 NFL season, leading all players in rushing yards. He led the league in rushing yards again during the 2020-21 season, while becoming just the eight player in NFL history to exceed 2,000 rushing yards in a single season.

Henry was well on his way to leading the league in rushing for a third consecutive time in 2021 before an injury sidelined him. He was also on pace to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards again, which would have made him the first player to ever do so more than once.
