I saw a tweet that said, ‘there will NOT be a consensus RB1’ heading into the 2021 season.
Makes sense, after all last year’s top two consensus RBs, CMC and Saquon will be returning. While Kamara, Cook and Henry all impressed.
But there should be a consensus RB1...

In 2020, Alvin Kamara was on of just two running backs to score more than three touchdowns in a game.
And, that’s not by accident. He’s the only running back to score at least two in five or more games.
He truly makes the most of every touch.

His nose for the endzone, incredible balance and agility makes him one of the toughest backs to bring down.
Those traits made him the top scoring back in fantasy with just 187 carries.
That’s less than half of, the RB3, Derrick Henry’s 378. And, 125 less than the RB2 Cook.

Why is he able to score so many points on so few carries? He’s a PPR MACHINE. He’s the only RB to ever catch at least 81 passes in four straight seasons.
His 756 receiving yards led all RBs, which let him easily outscore all other backs for the most fantasy points per touch.

Kamara’s 21 touchdowns were the most by a running back since 2006, so sure you can argue regression there.
But you can’t expect Dalvin Cook or Derrick Henry to score 17 again either.
He doesn’t just score. His 147 receiving points were higher than any other player in the NFL.

And, in the past three years, Kamara has scored a touchdown on every 13.8 carries and every 11.7 carries. Those are both in the top three all-time for Carries : Touchdown ratio.
ALVIN KAMARA IS THE RB1.
Don’t overthink it...
