Throughout the majority of the NFL season, LeSean McCoy was not performing up to expectations. However, over the past few weeks, he has responded to critics, but is it enough to be considered the top tailback within the division? Find out who the top running backs currently are in the NFC East.

If it were not for an unfortunate injury earlier in the season, Jennings may be higher on this list. However, he is still able to find himself as the fifth-ranked halfback in the division.

Sproles brings so many intangibles that the box score will not show. I can even argue moving him up a spot, but for now, Sproles is the fourth-ranked tailback in the NFC East.

Morris has been on a tear of late, and continues to be an under-the-radar running about around league circles. However, his production does not go unnoticed by Washington's rival teams.

People are going to think that I am nuts for not putting Murray first on this list. However, even with over 1,400 yards, at this point in time, I feel there is another tailback within the division performing slightly better.

McCoy has been on fire over the past two games, and looks as elusive as ever. I put him first on this list because moving forward, there is no other running back in the division who I would want on my team.
