Marshawn Lynch tops Adrian Peterson in 'Madden 16' RB rankings
It's not Adrian Peterson who's the top running back -- it's Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch. At least according to 'Madden.'

You think Adrian Peterson is the top running back? Think again. According to EA Sports and the Madden 16 ratings, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is tops in the field.
Lynch is the No. 1 back in the Madden ratings this year, checking in at 96 overall and barely topping Peterson (95).
Lynch's 99 Stiff Arm, 98 Trucking and 94 Juke Move put him above AP (88 Strength, 90 Speed, 94 Trucking, 92 Elusiveness).
There's a three-way tie for third, with Jamaal Charles of the Chiefs, DeMarco Murray of the Eagles and Le'Veon Bell of the Steelers all checking in at 94 overall.
Charles has a 95 Elusiveness rating, 92 Speed, 98 Agility and 92 Acceleration plus a "league-best" 86 Catch.
Murray sports a 96 Trucking, 97 Stiff Arm, 97 Juke and 89 Speed.
Bell, who is a bit low for my taste, has a 99 Carrying, 83 Catching (also kind of low), 88 Speed and 97 Juke.
