Cook and Fournette not being finalists is a big snub. The Cook thing i can understand to a point given the offseason issues and the fact he sat out 1 game due to injury. But still, Fournette was #1 in YPG this year and Cook was #3 (with Henry #2 ). If you look closer at the top 5, Henry and McCaffrey were only #4 and #5 in terms of yards per carry. There have been many times in the past with 4 or 5 finalists, so the snubs don't make a whole lot of sense UNLESS they are heavily counting wins/losses and team ranking against these guys. Baker Mayfield was also a serious snub.....starting QB on playoff team with 3400 passing yards, 35 TD (only 5 INT) with 420 rushing yards and 7 more TD.
