Not yet known what the AV Value for the

For comparison, Zeke Elliott finished
21st in rush yards, 876, & very low in
receiving yards with only 92 in 2022,
total yards = 968. However, his 12 TDs
were the 6th-most for an RB in 2022.

As for Zeke's AV Value, his 2022 AV was 6
& his current 2023 salary cap is $16,720,000
making his AV Value = $2,786,666 , which is
probably the worst AV Value (i.e., most expen-
sive) for any running back in the league.
