What happened: The gap from first to second stands at 239 yards. Chuba Hubbard sits second at 426, followed by Bhayshul Tuten at 388. Tony Pollard and Kyle Monangai round out the five at 349 and 324.

Why it matters: High-volume rushing without losing possession sustains drives and limits opponent chances. Walker’s fumble-free start shows production holding as touches accumulate through October. A 239-yard separation leaves little margin for challengers on volume and security.

What to watch: Upcoming games test whether the top five keep possession clean as carries accumulate.
