I know this is a prediction for the (maybe) upcoming season, but I really don't see how Gilliam doesn't get in over the other 2. Most rushing yards of the 3 and most total yards with the least games played. I guess you could argue that he got those stats by just more volume of carries.
Josh Davis
15 games played
183 attempts, 1136 net rushing yards, 11 TD
29 receptions, 133 yards 1 TD
Elijah Dotson
13 games played
151 attempts, 742 net rushing yards, 7 TD
70 receptions, 702 yards, 4 TD
Ulonzo Gilliam
12 games played
243 attempts, 1249 net rushing yards, 11 TD
57 receptions, 354 yards, 1 TD
stats don’t lie! I didn’t realize the differences between the 3, especially Dotson. I thought Davis was out part of last year, which might be part of the reason his numbers are lower.
