2. Miles Sanders average per touch tops in the NFL
He may not win Offensive Rookie of the Year thanks to Josh Jacobs, but Sanders is definitely having a successful rookie season and looks primed to be a great running back in the future. If without a boatload of touches in the running game, Sanders is still tied for first in the NFL in yards from scrimmage per touch.
