![]() Conner has proven to be a reliable TD threat and had also 12 rushing TDs in 2018.Ĭonner was not an efficient runner for Arizona, but he has a nose for the end zone and very little competition behind him with just 2021 seventh-round pick Eno Benjamin backing him up. ![]() Conner was one of those three last season as he rushed for 15 scores in his first season with the Cardinals. We've had at least three players with 15 or more touchdowns in three consecutive seasons, so that looks like the bar. Below are five longshots worth our consideration in 2022.īe sure to check out the other season leader bets if you haven't already: I'd rather divide my bet and sprinkle a handful of longshots. I don't like betting on favorites in rushing categories with all the volatility from year to year. Injuries besiege the position every year and it's more of a volume, health and opportunity game than anything else. Taylor and Henry feel like overwhelming favorites in this - and any other rushing - category, but running back is the most volatile position in the NFL. In fact, only Tomlinson and Smith have led the league in rushing TDs more than twice since 1968, so that's bad news for Henry too. That pattern would suggest Taylor repeats as the TD king this fall.īut the last running backs to go back-to-back before this stretch were LaDainian Tomlinson and Priest Holmes in the 2000s, and those are the only guys since Emmitt Smith in the mid-90s. Henry won the crown in 2019-20 and Todd Gurley won it the two years before that. ![]() With Taylor and Henry being so dominant, is it even worth looking at the rest of the field? Henry was the rushing TDs leader in both 2019 (16 TDs) and 2020 (17 TDs) and opened last season as the favorite at +500. He missed over half the season and still finished tied for sixth. Henry had 10 rushing TDs in only eight games before getting hurt. He was a monster, far more productive than every other RB, and opens the new season as a +500 favorite to again lead the league in rushing TDs.ĭerrick Henry is the second favorite at +700. Taylor ran for 18 TDs and also led the league with 332 carries and 1,811 rushing yards. Jonathan Taylor was last year's league leader. Who will lead the NFL in rushing touchdown in 2022?
