[Serious] Who do you think are the top 10 running backs in the NFL right now?

Serious

Below is a composite top 30 ranking I made using various online rankings (in full transparency, about half of them were fantasy football rankings since there are very few non-fantasy rankings available right now for the 2019 season):

Rank your top running backs (no more than 10) and I will use those rankings to come up with a r/nfl average ranking (10 points for 1st, 9 for 2nd, etc.), so feel free to only list your top 5 or so if that's all you feel comfortable with. If you list any RB not on the top 30 listed above, please give a reason why.

Note: as a reminder, the list above is just to establish a top 30 in a very broad order. There are obviously going to be some borderline top 25 RBs that were left off this list, but if you feel a top 10 RB was left off, please include him in your list, and explain why you think he's top 10.
