RB Index, Week 11: Two players poised to break out in second half (3. Jahmyr Gibbs - 2024 stats: 9 games | 122 att | 727 rush yds | 6.0 ypc | 7 rush TDs | 22 rec | 202 rec yds | 1 rec TD | 0 fumbles lost.  No surprise here, but Gibbs has been pretty great over the last two games, a pair of road wins over Green Bay and Houston. At Lambeau in Week 9, he averaged nearly 6 yards per carry and scored on a 15-yard run on fourth down in sopping conditions. He followed that performance with 108 scrimmage yards -- 89 of which came in the second half -- in the comeback win over the Texans, Gibbs' 10th career game with 100-plus scrimmage yards.8.  David Montgomery - 2024 stats: 9 games | 122 att | 520 rush yds | 4.3 ypc | 8 rush TDs | 18 rec | 185 rec yds | 0 rec TDs | 1 fumble lost.  Detroit got off to a sluggish start Sunday night -- but on the Lions' first snap in the third quarter, Montgomery set a new tone for the offense, ripping off a thunderous 12-yard run that signaled the team would be much more physical from there on out. He scored a touchdown on the Lions' next offensive possession, the first of four second-half scoring drives for Detroit. Though Montgomery's totals haven't been off the charts in either of the last two games (he posted 73 rush yards in the win over Green Bay and 32 against the Texans), he's continued to display the kind of tackle-breaking ability few others in this league possess. According to Next Gen Stats, the veteran has forced a missed tackle on 36.1 percent of his carries this season, second-most among all players with at least 100 carries.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-week-11-two-players-poised-to-break-out-in-second-half



Week 10 NFL MVP Rankings: Top 5 Non-Quarterback Candidates (5. Kerby Joseph, S, Lions:  If he didn’t suffer a season-ending injury, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson would most certainly be Detroit’s defensive MVP candidate — despite playing just five games, he’s still among the league leaders in sacks. But while the Lions have a legitimate MVP candidate in quarterback Jared Goff, Joseph has quietly been one of the most important players in the NFL this season. The third-year safety is tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions, having returned one for a touchdown. According to Next Gen Stats, Joseph has been targeted 20 times, allowing a total of nine catches for 97 yards and no scores, for a paltry passer rating of 20.2.):  https://athlonsports.com/nfl/mvp-rankings-non-quarterback-derrick-henry-saquon-barkley#gid=ci02ec7d98500027e9&pid=1-derrick-henry-rb-ravens
