Alvin Kamara is the NFL's scrimmage yards king through Week 7

Let’s hope everyone else is content playing for second place, because it doesn’t look like anyone will catch New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara. The Offensive Player of the Year candidate leads the NFL with 824 yards from scrimmage through seven weeks, and he’s played just in six games after resting during the Saints’ bye.

Defenses haven’t had answers for Kamara, whether he’s attacking them through the air (gaining 460 receiving yards on 46 receptions) or on the ground (picking up 364 rushing yards off of just 75 carries). He’s averaging more than 137 scrimmage yards per game, the highest number of his career.
