1. J.K. Dobbins, Los Angeles Chargers
One of the feel-good stories of Week 1, J.K. Dobbins's return to form, was nothing short of inspiring. After battling through back-to-back major injuries, Dobbins exploded for 135 yards and a touchdown on just ten carries, helping the Bolts secure a 22-10 victory over AFC West foe Las Vegas Raiders and giving Jim Harbaugh his first win as Chargers head coach.
2. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley's first game as an Eagle? Electric. The star runner found the endzone three times - twice on the ground and once through the air - while piling up 132 total yards (109 rushing, 23 receiving). His all-around effort led Philly to a 34-29 win over the Packers in the NFL's inaugural game in Brazil.
3. Jordan Mason, San Francisco 49ers
No Christian McCaffrey, no problem. Backup Jordan Mason stepped up big time, running for 147 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries as the 49ers cruised to a 32-17 win over the Jets. With McCaffrey reportedly a long shot for Week 2, Mason is in line for another hefty workload.
4. Joe Mixon, Houston Texans
Joe Mixon looked every bit the workhorse in his Texans debut, bulldozing his way to 159 yards and a touchdown on 30 totes, adding three receptions for 19 yards. Houston rode Mixon's big day to a nail-biting 29-27 win over AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts.
