What are the NFL‘s top storylines for Week 5?

Week 5 of the NFL season is here and this week we’re focusing on questions about players at the running back position.

It’s been an odd season for running backs, with some surprising names popping up for both good and bad reasons.

We’ve taken a few of the running backs who have been standing out (for good or bad reasons) and examined what we’re looking for this week and going forward in today’s article.
