Ranking the opposing backfields on New York Jets’ 2020 schedule

13. Los Angeles Rams

Projected lead back: Malcolm Brown

Notable backups: Darrell Henderson, Cam Akers (R)

Todd Gurley did not look close to his peak self in 2019, ranking 37th out of 45 running backs in yards per carry (3.8), but the Rams backfield looks barren without him. Malcolm Brown is currently slated to be the starter after averaging 3.7 yards per carry in 2019 and 3.9 throughout his career. He also offers nothing as a receiver, with career averages of 0.4 catches for 1.
