          It says a lot about the state of running backs in fantasy football that Jay Ajayi ranks ninth in running back fantasy points (115) despite having posted only 31 carries in Weeks 1-5.

          Ajayi's value has skyrocketed since then, as his 18.2 points per game from Weeks 6-11 ranks fourth highest among running backs in that time frame.
