Walker is positioned as the Seahawks' clear backfield leader after head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a season-ending injury during Saturday's divisional-round win over the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Walker opened Saturday's 41-6 postseason win over San Francisco handling his usual backfield split with Charbonnet. After Charbonnet was forced out in the second quarter due to what's now been revealed as a significant knee injury that will require surgery, Walker stepped into an expanded role and finished the day with 19 carries for 116 yards and three touchdowns, while also securing all three of his targets for 29 yards. Practice-squad elevation Velus Jones rushed six times for 10 yards, and both he and Cam Akers will be candidates to join the active roster and provide depth behind Walker during the NFC Championship Game against the Rams on Sunday. With Charbonnet out for the playoffs, Walker appears locked in for a workhorse role this weekend.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) will miss the remainder of the postseason due to a significant injury suffered during Saturday's NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Macdonald confirmed that Charbonnet's injury will require surgery, and, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, he said the running back will have "a long road to come back." Kenneth Walker, who rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns versus San Francisco, will operate as Seattle's clear backfield leader beginning Sunday versus the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, while Cam Akers and Velus Jones will be candidates to come off the practice squad and contribute in depth roles.

Davis secured both of his targets for 33 yards during Buffalo's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday.

Davis also recorded five kickoff returns for 130 yards versus Denver, but he didn't get a carry. The 2024 fourth-round pick earned first-team All-Pro honors as a kick returner in his sophomore season, but he took a step backward on offense, working behind both James Cook and Ty Johnson out of the backfield during the 2025 campaign. Across 17 regular-season appearances, Davis carried the ball 58 times for 275 yards and zero scores while also securing 10 of 13 targets for 86 yards. Of those totals, 151 of Davis' rushing yards came in a meaningless Week 18 win over the Jets in which Cook took a seat after the second offensive snap. Cook, Johnson and Davis all remain under contract with the Bills for 2026.

Corum rushed six times for 19 yards and did not receive a target in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Bears.

Lead back Kyren Williams (21-87-2) stole the show on offense while Corum struggled to get off the ground in Sunday's playoff victory. Corum had registered double-digit carries in five of Los Angeles' previous six contests dating back to Week 14 of the regular season, so this unusual dip in usage may have been matchup-related. Given recent trends, it wouldn't be surprising to see Corum resume splitting backfield work with Williams as the Rams prepare to face the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.

Monangai rushed 13 times for 36 yards while hauling in all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams in the divisional round.

Monangai struggled to gain traction in Sunday's snowy playoff loss (2.8 YPC), but his solid effort as a receiver helped buoy his fantasy score. D'Andre Swift (19-76-0) had the superior day on the ground, but neither back was able to hit pay dirt as Chicago's 2025 campaign comes to a close. The seventh-round rookie broke onto the scene as a change-of-pace back behind Swift to begin the year, carving out a significant role on offense while finishing the regular season with a 169-783-5 rushing line across 17 appearances. Swift and Monangai should continue working in tandem out of the gates in 2026, with the latter possessing tantalizing upside in fantasy for his upcoming sophomore season.

Swift rushed 19 times for 76 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-17 playoff loss to the Rams.

Swift led Chicago in both rushing attempts and yardage Sunday, but his inability to score on multiple attempts from in close in the second half proved costly in the overtime loss. The 26-year-old was curiously absent in the passing game after registering a target in all 17 of his previous appearances (including playoffs) this season. Swift had a career year under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, finishing the regular season with personal bests in rushing yards (1,087) and touchdowns (nine). The veteran starter will enter the final year of a three-year contract with the Bears in 2026, forming a formidable backfield duo with RB Kyle Monangai.

Williams rushed 21 times for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding four receptions on five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 playoff win over the Bears.

Williams had been splitting backfield work nearly evenly with Blake Corum down the stretch this season, but that was not the case in Sunday's divisional round victory. The 24-year-old Williams dominated the backfield touches against Chicago, garnering 15 more carries than the next-highest teammate while cashing in multiple touchdowns for third time in 2025. Los Angeles' primary back had reached 20 carries just three times in the regular season, so it would make sense to see a more balanced approach out of the backfield against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. Williams provides enough of a floor in fantasy whether or not he is sharing touches with Corum, which should make the former the preferred option in DFS formats against Seattle next Sunday.

Kiner tallied 12 carries for 58 yards and gathered in two of three targets for 15 yards without scoring a touchdown in four regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had one kick return for 22 yards.

In a backfield that lost all of James Conner (foot), Trey Benson (knee) and Bam Knight (ankle) for the season at various points, Michael Carter (333 rushing yards) and Emari Demercado (312) ended up leading the Cardinals' ground game overall, and Kiner himself got some run over the last four games after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent back in May. Kiner maxed out at 14 offensive snaps in Week 18, and he enters the offseason as one of three running backs (also, Conner and Benson) under contract with Arizona for 2026.

Henderson carried the ball 12 times for 25 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.

The rookie running back's longest gain went for only six yards, and he once again took a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson, who led New England with 70 rushing yards. Henderson hasn't made much of an impact so far in the playoffs, putting together just 59 total scrimmage yards through the Patriots' first two games, but he'll get another chance to produce a big play or two next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Stevenson carried the ball 16 times for 70 yards and caught all four of his targets for 11 yards in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.

Despite leaving the game briefly due to an eye injury, Stevenson led New England in carries as well as rushing and scrimmage yards. The fifth-year RB has yet to get into the end zone in two playoff games, but he's still made an impact with 209 scrimmage yards. Stevenson should have a significant role in the offense again next weekend in Denver for the AFC Championship Game.
