6. Lyn-J Dixon

We begin our list with running back Lyn-J Dixon.

While Dixon didn’t get much playing time in close games this season, his number of snaps has consistently gone up and he’s really starting to get a drive or two each game no matter what the score is.

Dixon finished the first 13 games with 56 carries for 536 yards and five touchdowns. That’s an average of 9.6 yards per carry.

Dixon’s yardage is good enough for second on the team, behind Travis Etienne and his yards per carry leads the Tigers.
