Who Are The 3 Best Running Backs In The NFL Right Now?

The NFL in a season filled with great rookie running backs but do any of them make the list as one of the best running backs in the league?  I have been seeing on twitter @MitchellRenz365, who is the best running back in the NFL? If you disagree with my three and want to weigh in please do. The way I want people to talk about or debate this article is in the sense of who they literally believe is the best running back in the NFL. It is Week 10 and you need a running back to be your bell cow to carry your team. Who are you picking and why?

3.) Todd Gurley - Los Angeles Rams 

The Los Angeles Rams have scored the most points in the NFL and a major reason is the play of Todd Gurley. He has scored 10 touchdowns this season. He is top four in the NFL in rushing yards with 686 and fifth in receiving among running backs 338 yards. After a great rookie year and a sophomore slump, Gurley is fully breaking out in his third season. A bright future for Gurley is ahead.

2.) Ezekiel Elliott - Dallas Cowboys 

After a slow start for Elliott and the Cowboys, the team has won three games in a row and the large part is due to Elliott. Elliott has 20 or more carries in seven of the Cowboys eight games this year. He is tied with Todd Gurley for the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL with seven and is second in the NFL in rushing yards with 793. He has solid hands and big play ability any time he touches the ball. With Ezekiel Elliott playing as well as he is right now, you can make the argument the Cowboys can beat anyone.

1.) Le'Veon Bell - Pittsburgh Steelers

The number one running back in the NFL is Le'Veon Bell. He is the most dynamic running back in the league and has transformed the position. He leads the NFL in carries with 194, and overall touches with 229. He is currently on pace for 458 touches on the season. That is a true bell cow running back. The Steelers are on a four-game winning streak and the main reason is the offense is leaning on Bell.
