Dante Miller RB | NYG
Giants' Dante Miller: Healthy scratch for season finale
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Miller was elevated to the active roster for Week 17 and was then signed to the active roster Saturday, but he'll end up being a healthy scratch for both of the two games he was eligible to play. As such, the South Carolina product will end the campaign without having seen any regular-season NFL action. Miller will be an exclusive rights free agent in the offseason, and it remains to be seen if New York will want him back given that the Giants have two promising young RBs in Tyrone Tracy and Cam Skattebo (ankle).

Phil Mafah RB | DAL
Cowboys' Phil Mafah: Active Sunday, set for pro debut
Mafah (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants.
In the wake of the Cowboys ruling out Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) for Week 18 on Friday and subsequently placing both on injured reserve one day later, Mafah, who was activated from IR on Saturday, will be in the mix for touches out of the backfield Sunday behind Jaydon Blue and FB Hunter Luepke. A seventh-round rookie, Mafah thus is in line for the first game action of his pro career, though Blue and Luepke are the likeliest candidates to earn snaps among the trio.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Healthy scratch Sunday
Jacobs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Jacobs was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 18 prep due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, but Green Bay didn't tag him with a designation on Friday's practice report. Despite technically being well enough to play, the team will rest him with the playoffs in mind. In Jacobs' stead, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will man the Packers backfield Sunday. Meanwhile, Jacobs' next chance for game action is poised to occur in the wild-card round next weekend.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Breaks free for key score
Charbonnet rushed the ball 17 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added three receptions on four targets for 23 yards.
Charbonnet worked in a near-even split with Kenneth Walker, with Walker turning in the more efficient performance. However, Charbonnet was still arguably responsible for the biggest play of the game, when he ripped off an impressive 27-yard rushing score late in the first quarter -- the only touchdown of the game for either team. Charbonnet closed the regular season in strong form, totaling 219 yards from scrimmage combined across his final two contests. He'll retain a key role for Seattle's playoff run, beginning in the divisional round.

Christian McCaffrey RB | SF
49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Stifled by Seattle
McCaffrey rushed the ball eight times for 23 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks. He added six receptions on seven targets for 34 yards.
Seattle dominated time of possession, limiting San Francisco to only 42 offensive plays. That limited volume for all of their skill-position players, including McCaffrey. Even when he did get touches, McCaffrey was stifled by the elite Seahawks defense, with his longest gain from scrimmage going for only nine yards. Despite the disappointing close, McCaffrey concludes the regular season with an excellent 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns.

Kenneth Walker III RB | SEA
Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Impressive showing in Week 18
Walker rushed the ball 16 times for 97 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added four receptions on four targets for 36 yards.
Walker worked in a nearly even split with Zach Charbonnet, but Seattle's run-heavy game plan allowed both to turn in strong performances. Four of Walker's rushing attempts went for double-digit yards, the longest of which was a 19-yard scamper late in the third quarter to convert on third down to keep a game-clinching drive alive. He also had three-plus receptions for the second time in his last three games while tallying his third-highest yardage total as a pass catcher on the season. While Walker will continue to work in a split with Charbonnet, the former has managed over 100 yards from scrimmage in two of the final three games to close the regular season. Finally, this performance pushed Walker over 1,000 rushing yards in the regular season, his first time achieving that threshold since his rookie year.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Meager production on seven touches
Hubbard rushed five times for 10 yards and secured both targets for seven yards in the Panthers' 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.
Hubbard's day was as unproductive as his line suggests, although backfield mate Rico Dowdle fared even worse on the ground (1.4 yards per carry). Hubbard's production saw a significant downturn in 2025 compared to the last two seasons, as a two-game absence in Weeks 5-6 opened the door for Dowdle to take over the lead-back role for an extended period. Hubbard finishes the regular season with 511 rushing yards (3.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown while adding a 30-223-3 receiving line across 15 games, and he'll remain in a timeshare with Dowdle in the wild-card round if the Panthers qualify for the postseason via a Falcons win over the Saints on Sunday.

Rachaad White RB | TB
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Records 41 total yards in win
White rushed seven times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday.
White was a distant runner-up to Bucky Irving in carries for the Buccaneers on the afternoon, with the latter logging a career-high 26 rush attempts. Like Irving, White averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, and he complemented that with equally modest receiving yardage. White put together just a serviceable regular season despite the fact he had the potential for expanded opportunity with Irving missing seven games with shoulder and foot injuries, with the former finishing with 572 rushing yards and four touchdowns at 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 40-218-0 line on 45 targets across 17 games. White would remain in a complementary role should the Buccaneers play next weekend in the wild-card round by virtue of the Saints tying or defeating the Falcons on Sunday.
