Football 301 Playbook: 4 weeks into season, here are NFL's top standouts (welcome back, running backs!) and slumps (c'mon, Browns)

We are at the de facto quarter pole of the NFL season. And just like every NFL season, there have been standouts, surprises, slumps and everything in between (it’s why it’s the best). On this week’s Football 301 Playbook, I wanted to highlight the winners and surprises of this maturing 2024 season.

Running backs!

Specifically teams that have real deal stars at the position who can, preferably, handle every snap if need be. The Eagles and Ravens got Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, respectively, and have so far reaped the benefits.
