6. Carlos Hyde

Ranking Last Week: 6

Week 5: 17 Carries | 63 Yards | 3.7 Y/C

Season: 100 Carries | 348 Yards | 5 TDs | 3.5 Y/C

Unfortunately Carlos Hyde didn’t score a touchdown in Sunday’s game against the Ravens meaning that was the first game this season in he hasn’t made it into the end zone. He didn’t have the greatest week in the world but he did hit the century mark in carries on the season only trailing Todd Gurley now in carries.

He also ranks in the top ten in yardage on the year. Overall, it has been a great season for Carlos Hyde coming back to his home state.

5. Malcom Jenkins

Ranking Last Week: 5

Week 5: 5 Tackles | 1 Assist

Season: 20 Tackles | 5 Assists | 2 TFL | 1 FF | 2 Pass Defended

It is well documented that the Eagles are under performing this season, but it is not because of Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins has been able to register 20 tackles as well as 2 for losses, a forced fumble and 2 passes defended.

As well-known as the Eagle’s struggles are though, they still rank 10th in the NFL in total defense. Jenkins, a veteran leader for that team, is a huge reason why.
