You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
This was actually prompted by a post on another forum but I did a search on ProFootball Reference on negative yard run plays.
Unfortunately, the results will only give you the first 500 results. And those results include QB, WR and TE who also lose yardage on run plays. To make the results even less predictable, the 500th play stops at minus 2 yards. So there may still be another 100 plays that include minus 1 yard or no gain.
Anyway, for the sake of the top RB for 2019, these were some of the high runners of those top 500 lost yardage plays. (Or low runners. Pun.)
Player / Plays for Loss / Total Yards Lost
Adrian / 12 times / -40
Alex C / 7 times / -32
Alvin / 6 times / -26
Dalvin / 5 times / -13
Ezekiel / 7 times / -24
James C. / 6 times / -19
Joe Mix / 13 times / -48
Jordan H / 7 times / -25
Leonard / 6 times / -28
Melvin / 6 times / -18
Saquon / 19 times / -78
Tarik / 10 times / -36
Todd / 9 times / -30
