The NFL’s Top 10 Running Backs Have More Touches

Compared to the league’s best, Jennings has not been given a fair shake. He has ensured a set back due to an early injury to his hand and has not seen nearly as many touches (3:1 ratio) as Elliott, despite being as nimble and experienced at finding ways to elude tackles.
