Ray Rice = no, he is 2nd

Chris Johnson = no, close

Read the question carefully.

cedric the entertainer benson?

Close as well, but no cigar.This is a really obscure answer, One that will make you think "your kidding".

Not sure if there is a minimum for carries, but I'd guess Mike Bell.

 

[gpalmer]

It definitely wasn't who I expected. The keyword is average yards/game

Miles Austin?

We have a winner!With two games played, Mike Bell averaged 119 yards from scrimmage per game before being out the last two games + the bye week. Given the extensive thread on him further down the list I figured someone would get it before 10 posts.When you think about it, it sure gives you a reason to believe he will get carries with PT. I own neither, must be a headache for those that own both.I thought it was a great trivia question, no one in our league guessed it.

Ray Rice = no, he is 2ndChris Johnson = no, closeRead the question carefully.

Perhaps I'm not understanding something here. How is Ray Rice second, and thus ahead of Chris Johnson, who is also not the correct answer but has more total rushing+receiving yards than Ray Rice in the same amount of games.Also, is it possible you think the correct answer is Frank Gore? That would be correct if you ignore that he did play briefly in a 3rd game prior to missing the next 2 due to injury

sorry, I flip flopped Rice and CJ. The correct answer is Mike Bell however.

No problem. I just thought maybe you had made a mistake about Frank Gore. I noticed the correct answer had been guessed after I completed my response.

PT has 258 yards in the two games Bell missed, or 129 per game. For the sake of this question, Bell was saved by PT dressing in week 2, while getting almost no time on the field. Just one catch for -4 yards. The OLine has been dominant in the running game. Solid blocking + Brees fear has led to huge holes for both to run through. The difference is PT catches the ball.

Without looking I am guessing Benson.
