SUMMARY
A lot of quality RBs again this season. There are a few who are fullbacks with huge roles as blockers, and there are pass catchers out of the backfield. Mamiya moves into a tie at No. 1 with Malepeai. It’s not common for a player to score in so many different ways: rushing, receiving, kickoff return, punt return, passing. If he adds fumble return and interception return for TDs, that would take the cake.
