It’s somewhat interesting that we now find ourselves in an era of the game in which 900 rushing yards is a significant number for a running back, but it is. it’s true that even last season saw nine players reach 1000 rushing yards, and in fact a total of 16 gained at least 900, a slight improvement over 2017 when only 13 did, but the general trend is apparent.
And I think that’s reflected in the fact that Pro Football Focus recently produced a list of the players that they project to hit 900 rushing yards in 2019, and that list contained only nine names.
