The new XFL is well underway, with the revived pro football league kicking off with eight all-new franchises less than a week after the Super Bowl. We're now halfway through the 2020 regular season, and a couple of contenders have separated themselves from the pack -- namely the Houston Roughnecks, who are 5-0 in large part due to the play of dual-threat quarterback P.J. Walker.
Who else has stood out during the XFL's first five weeks of action? We've got you covered right here at CBS Sports with an in-depth breakdown of all the league's statistical leaders, from the top passers to the top defensive backs, through Week 5:
