How to read NFL rushing stats
The rushing leaderboard starts with the most rushing yards. Sort ATT to find the biggest workloads, TD for rushing touchdowns or Y/A for yards per carry. The RB filter focuses on running backs; all positions also includes players such as quarterbacks and wide receivers who ran the ball.
- Yards and ATT
- Total rushing yards and carries in the selected games. Receiving yards and catches are counted separately.
- Y/A
- Rushing yards divided by carries. For example, 96 yards on 20 attempts is 4.8 yards per carry.
- TD
- Rushing touchdowns. A running back's touchdown catch belongs in receiving stats.
- Long
- The longest single rush in the selected games. Season Long is the longest play, not the sum of each week's longest rush.
Does the highest yards per carry mean the best runner?
Check carries too. One big run on a small workload can produce a higher average than a full game's work. This table has no minimum-carry qualification for averages. Use yards, attempts and touchdowns together when comparing players.
Player leaderboard questions
How are ties, averages and missing stats handled?
Equal values share a rank. Averages use combined yards and attempts or receptions across the selected games. There is no minimum-attempt requirement for rate stats here, so check workload before comparing averages. A dash means the source figure is missing or the rate has no attempts.
What if a player changes teams or positions?
With all teams selected, a player's contributions are combined. Choose one team to count only their games for that team. Positions use the supplied game data, with available roster or player-profile information filling gaps. “Unknown” means a position has not been supplied. The overview cards remain league-wide when you filter the table.
Are these live stats, fantasy points or career records?
These are 2026 regular-season box-score totals from completed games, not live fantasy scores or all-time records. We aggregate ESPN game box scores; updates are checked about every six hours during the season and published after completeness checks. See the saved update time above the table. Stat corrections can change totals.
