Fournette shares carries with three other RBs.


I guess Gurley, Chubb, and Michel aren't sharing carries?

Fournette has an extra game on top of Chubb and Michel and isn't having to share carries with the best running back in the country. There's a big difference there when you're trying to compare the three backs.

That's why they calculate a stat called "yards per game." Fournette > Michel > Chubb in that category.

That's why they make a stat called "yards per carry." Take away Michel's one good game against Troy, and Fournette > Michel in that category. Take away Chubb's one good run against Clemson, and Fournette > Chubb, in that category.
