Freeman is a top 10-15 back but he's being overrated right now. He had 12 carries for 12 yards against the 49ers. That's the same 49ers that Gurley destroyed a week earlier.

The Gurley Man needs a couple huge games to bump his rushing yards per game (ypg) average up above ED's rookie pace. ED did 1808 yards over 16 games for a per game average of 113.0 ypg. Since TGII missed the first two games and only play a little bit of Week Three, he is gonna need to average 129.21 ypg this season to top ED. He has 664 rushing yards right now. He will need 1145 more yards or 143.13 ypg over the next eight games to get to 1809 yards.

He could use a couple 200+ yards games, don't you think?

Rams running back Todd Gurley on pace to lead NFL in rushing
By Nick Wagoner

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Although he hasn't played as many games as the rest of the league's running backs and isn't yet in the rushing lead, the St. Louis Rams' Todd Gurley has the highest yards per game average.

That's one of a number of projections that ESPN NFL Nation columnist Kevin Seifert made earlier this week.

While Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson currently leads the NFL in rushing yards with 758, his per game average only has him on pace for 1,516 yards. Gurley has 664 rushing yards, which lands him in the top five but if you use his 131 yards per game average in his five starts, he actually projects to finish with 1,712 yards.

That would make Gurley the NFL's rushing champion in his rookie season.

Of course, Gurley still has a long way to go but the fact that he's even in the conversation already is just another feather in a cap that's quickly running out of room for accessories.
