East Coast Offense: Year of Mediocrity

Year of Mediocrity

In a standard scoring league (non-PPR) through eight games the top-13 per-game point scorers are all quarterbacks. That doesn't mean you should have taken a quarterback with your first pick, but it shows that no RB or WR is having a particularly great year. Last season, for example, Arian Foster was No. 8 overall on a per-game basis, LeSean McCoy was No. 12 and Ray Rice was No. 13 – and that was in a year of great quarterback inflation – where four of the six all-time passing seasons took place.

The top receiver last year, Calvin Johnson, was 23rd, and Fred Jackson and Maurice Jones-Drew also cracked the per-game top-25. This year, besides Foster, only Ray Rice cracks the top-25, though the top receiver, A.J. Green, is No. 26.

Here are the top-60 through eight games by average points per game in non PPR:
