#9 has his sights next on Eddie Lacy Rookie season.Eddie had 11TD’s all purpose total (OROY)
Christian needs just 3 TD’s in the last 4 contests to pass Lacy with 12 TD’s.
The one bright spot this season is we might just have the league’s Offensive ROY.
I've been thinking about this recently too. Would've said Breece Hall was a shoe-in before injury but you know how that goes.
Seems like at the moment the top 5 contenders for OROY (at least the names I am most frequently seeing) are:
Kenneth Walker III (RB, Seattle): 138 rushes for 649 yards (4.7 y/c), 9 rush TD; 19 receptions for 116 yards (6.1 y/r), 0 TD.
Total: 11 games total, 7 games started. 157 touches, 765 scrimmage yards (4.9 yards/touch), 0 fumbles, 9 TD
Chris Olave (WR, New Orleans): 56 rec for 822 yards (14.7 y/r), 3 TD; 0 rushes for 0 yards and 0 TD.
Total: 11 games total, 7 games started. 56 touches, 822 scrimmage yards (14.7 yards/touch), 1 fumble, 3 TD
Dameon Pierce (RB, Houston): 198 rushes for 861 yards (4.3 y/c), 3 rush TD; 30 rec for 165 yards (5.5 y/r), 1 rec TD.
Total: 12 games total, 12 games started. 228 touches, 1026 scrimmage yards (4.5 yards/touch), 3 fumbles, 4 TD
Garrett Wilson (WR, NY Jets): 57 rec for 790 yards (13.9 y/r), 4 TD; 4 rushes for 4 yards (1.0 y/c) and 0 TD.
Total: 12 games total, 7 games started. 61 touches, 794 scrimmage yards (13.0 yards/touch), 1 fumble, 4 TD.
Christian Watson (WR, Green Bay): 25 rec for 401 yards (16.0 y/r), 7 TD; 5 rushes for 68 yards (13.6 ypc), 2 TD.
Total: 10 games total, 7 games started. 30 touches, 469 scrimmage yards (15.6 yards/touch), 0 fumble, 9 TD.
Of course Watson does not have as much raw yardage as some of the others but still I'd think he has as good of a case as anyone right now. Tied for most total TD on far fewer touches and leads the field in yards gained per touch.
Just for some comparison prior to injury:
Breece Hall (RB, NY Jets): 80 rushes for 463 yards (5.8 y/c), 4 TD; 19 rec for 218 yards (11.5 y/r), 1 TD.
Total: 7 games total, 2 games started. 99 touches, 681 scrimmage yards (6.9 yards/touch), 1 fumble, 5 TD.
And beyond just games appeared/games started, snap counts are as follows:
Wilson - 574 (73%)
Pierce - 472 (65%)
Olave - 461 (68%)
Walker - 385 (55%)
Watson - 330 (51%)
Hall - 233 (49%)
