Carlos Hyde made the most of a tough situation in 2016. Which other running backs outperformed their teammates?
Rushing performance in the NFL depends a good deal on the overall offense.
Even the most elite rushers can't consistently churn out positive plays against stacked boxes and turn hits in the backfield into positive yardage. That's why you should always prefer to tie your fantasy football running backs to efficient passing offenses.
While we can't fix every team's offense and make every situation equal across the league, we can at least do running backs the favor of comparing how they performed relative to their own teammates in 2016.
