  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Unproductive in season finale

    Singletary carried seven times for 22 yards and caught his only target for a five-yard loss in Sunday's 20-13 Week 18 loss against the Eagles. He concluded the campaign with 113 rushes for 437 yards and four touchdowns along with 21 receptions (on 24 targets) for 119 yards over 15 games.

    As has been the case for the majority of the campaign, Singletary worked well behind rookie RB Tyrone Tracy, who logged a 60 percent offensive snap share to the veteran's 30 percent mark. Singletary was brought in during the offseason to potentially serve as a workhorse back after the departure of Saquon Barkley to Philadelphia, but Singletary didn't log double-digit carries in any game after Week 4 and tallied 30 or fewer total yards in six of his final seven contests. Instead, it was Tracy who took hold of the starting running back role for the Giants, and that figures to be the case again next season. Singletary has two years remaining on his three-year, $16.5 million deal, so he figures to be back with New York for the 2025 campaign as the No. 2 option in the team's backfield.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Rushes for 801 yards this season

    Stevenson finished the 2024 regular season with 207 carries for 801 yards and seven TDs to go along with 33 catches (on 41 targets) for 168 yards and another score in 15 games.

    Stevenson suited up for the Patriots' season finale Sunday, but was rested by the team, which led to Antonio Gibson leading the backfield in Week 18. Stevenson is under contract with New England through 2028, so he's set to reprise his lead role in 2025. After recording one fumble in 12 contests during the 2023 campaign, Stevenson logged seven fumbles (three lost) in 2024. Though that was a concerning trend, the running back likely will try to make tightening things up on that front a priority this coming offseason. While New England has a franchise QB (Drake Maye) in place, after a 4-13 effort that led to the dismissal of head coach Jerod Mayo, there figures to be plenty of roster churn in the coming months, though Stevenson and Antonio Gibson (signed through 2026) will at least provide some continuity at the running back position.

  • Deuce Vaughn RB | DEN

    Cowboys' Deuce Vaughn: Season-high six carries in Week 18

    Vaughn carried the ball six times for 37 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Commanders.

    In a meaningless game for the Cowboys, Vaughn saw a season-high workload and delivered a career high in rushing yards. The 2023 sixth-round pick appeared in only seven games this season and managed just 88 yards from scrimmage on 20 touches, once again serving as a depth option in the backfield. Rico Dowdle will be a free agent this offseason and may have priced himself out of Dallas' plans with a strong campaign, but it's highly unlikely Vaughn will head into 2025 at the top of the depth chart.

  • Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Incomplete grade in Year 2

    Mitchell finished the season with 15 carries for 30 yards and one reception on one target for 28 yards across five regular-season games.

    The second-year running back missed the season's first nine games while recovering from the significant knee injury that ended his promising rookie campaign. Even though Mitchell was active in Weeks 10-12, he did not receive an offensive touch in those games. He was then inactive for three games before somewhat getting in the mix in the final two weeks with 15 combined carries. The 2.0 YPC was a far cry from the 8.4 figure he established on 47 carries last season. If Justice Hill returns during the postseason, Mitchell will likely settle into a small change-of-pace role in the offense while also serving as a kick returner. In dynasty formats, it would be hasty to cut bait on a player like Mitchell simply because of a difficult year. His impressive rookie season and the injury caveat this year should still keep him on the radar for 2025 and beyond, even with Derrick Henry under contract for another year.

  • Ravens' Keaton Mitchell: Tears off long kick return Saturday

    Mitchell took four carries for 10 yards and returned a kick for 47 yards during Saturday's 35-10 win versus the Browns.

    Mitchell played just 14 of Baltimore's 67 offensive snaps in Week 18, a similar role to what he saw in Week 17 at Houston after being inactive the three games prior. However, his biggest contribution to Saturday's win actually came on special teams, as he took a second-quarter kickoff all the way out to Cleveland's 48-yard line. He figures to play only sparingly in the wild-card round versus the Steelers as long as Derrick Henry is at full strength.

  • Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Regular workload Week 18

    Ogunbowale had two carries for minus-3 yards and caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18.

    Ogunbowale played 12 snaps, which is a normal workload for the third-string back when all hands are healthy. Starter Joe Mixon was limited to one series while Dameon Pierce took up the bulk of playing time in the regular-season finale. Ogunbowale finished the regular season with 30 carries for 112 yards and 19 receptions (28 targets) for 198 yards and a touchdown catch over 17 games.

  • Ronnie Rivers RB | LAR

    Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Leads backup offense Sunday

    Rivers rushed for 48 yards on 12 carries while bringing in four of five targets for 34 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    The Rams rested starter Kyren Williams for a Week 18 contest that had marginal playoff implications for Los Angeles. Actual spot-starter Blake Corum (forearm) recorded just three touches before exiting the contest and opening the door for Rivers to garner 16 touches in the narrow loss. With the former already ruled out for the entire playoff schedule, Rivers is lined up to serve as Williams' primary backup in next Monday's home playoff matchup against Minnesota.

  • Hassan Haskins RB | LAC

    Chargers' Hassan Haskins: Draws work late

    Haskins rushed the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.

    J.K. Dobbins led the Chargers' backfield in the absence of Gus Edwards (ankle), but Haskins was used to run out the clock throughout the fourth quarter. Eight of his 12 carries came in the final nine minutes of game time, highlighted by a two-yard touchdown plunge -- his second trip to the end zone on the season. Haskins has played primarily on special teams, and that will likely remain the case in the wild-card round in a matchup against the Texans.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Chiefs' Samaje Perine: Brief appearance in Week 18

    Perine rushed the ball one time for one yard in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. He added one reception on one target for 13 yards.

    Perine drew both of his touches on one offensive possession in the second quarter, with Carson Steele otherwise handling the workload out of the backfield. Perine has served a minimal role in the Kansas City offense throughout the season, and that should continue during the team's postseason run.

  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Picks up 27 yards in Week 18

    Steele rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on two targets for two yards.

    The Chiefs sat Isiah Pacheco (coach's decision) while Samaje Perine drew only two touches, leaving most of the work out of the backfield to Steele. That didn't amount to much with all of Kansas City's top skill-position players sitting, as the team netted only 98 yards on offense while running just 33 plays. Steele has played primarily on special teams since Week 4, and that will almost certainly be his role throughout the team's postseason run.
