T.J. Yeldon, Melvin Gordon, and Tevin Coleman all put in solid first efforts during the first week of the 2015 regular season.

Ameer Abdullah also had a nice game for the Detroit Lions, but the focus really has narrowed down to Yeldon, Gordon, and Coleman after Week 1.
Each week, we’ll be recapping the top rookie running backs and who is leading the charge at that position for the class of 2015. With the top back in the draft, Todd Gurley, still sitting out while recovering, it will fall to guys like Yeldon, Gordon, and Coleman to really lead the rookie class.
