2. Michael Thomas

Last Week: 1
Week 8: Bye Week
Season: 46 Receptions | 519 Yards | 3 TDs | 11.3 Y/R

A bye week for the Saints means that this list is seeing a new leader for the first time since I started making these rankings.

This is no knock on Michael Thomas because with a good week next week he could find himself at the top of the list again.

For now though, the crown goes to someone else.

1. Ezekiel Elliot

Last Week: 3
Week 6: 24 Rushes | 106 Yards | 4.4 Y/C | 1 TD
Season: 117 Rushes | 586 Yards | 3 TDs | 5.0 Y/C | 15 Receptions | 155 Yards| 1 TD

Ezekiel Elliot ran for 100 yards again last week steadying his lead atop the NFL rushing yardage leader board, and also giving these power rankings a new number one player.

Zeke has rushed for a league high 586 yards this season and he ran for 106 yards on a notoriously good Jacksonville Jaguars defense last week.

Zeke was also able to add his third rushing touchdown of the season in the winning effort for the Cowboys.

All of this was enough for Zeke to cement himself as the best Buckeye in the NFL so far this year.
