  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Panthers' Miles Sanders: To start in return to lineup

    Sanders (ankle) is listed as active and expected to start Sunday at Atlanta, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    In his first game action since he sprained his ankle Week 10 against the Giants, Sanders is in line to sit atop the backfield, what with both Chuba Hubbard (knee) and Jonathon Brooks (knee) on injured reserve and Velus Jones (coach's decision) inactive. Sanders will be vying with Raheem Blackshear (11 carries this season) and Mike Boone (nine) for touches Sunday. However, considering Sanders has 38 rushes and 21 receptions (on 26 targets) in 10 games on the campaign, he likely should be the top option among the trio.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Inactive for Week 18

    Barkley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    As was expected after the Eagles listed him doubtful heading into the weekend, Barkley will rest up in the regular-season finale while the Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Barkley will finish the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards -- the eighth-most in NFL history -- to go with 33 catches for 278 yards and 15 total touchdowns.

  • Dante Miller RB | NYG

    Giants' Dante Miller: Inactive for regular-season finale

    Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Miller was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the undrafted free agent out of South Carolina will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale as the Giants roll with a three-man backfield of rookie Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and Eric Gray. Miller was elevated to the 53-man roster for Week 5 and 6 and played eight snaps (one on offense, seven on special teams) across the two games, but otherwise did not show up on the box score.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Suiting up as expected

    Pollard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Pollard was sidelined for Week 17 due to a combination of an ankle injury and illness. However, he'll be back in action after logging two limited practices during the week, and he should have a clear path to a significant workload with Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined. Per Turron Davenport of ESPN, Pollard needs 83 rushing yards to earn $250,000 in incentives and he could earn an additional $200,000 if he finds the end zone twice. That will give him plenty to play for despite the Titans being out of playoff contention.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Inactive as expected Sunday

    Kamara (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers, the team's official site reports.

    Kamara was fully expected to miss his third consecutive game to close out the season Sunday, and that is now official. In the star running back's absence -- and that of Kendre Miller (concussion) -- versus Tampa Bay, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who gained 30 yards on seven touches in his Week 17 team debut and was promoted from the practice squad Saturday, could serve as the de facto lead back while Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims rotate in for complementary snaps.

  • Jacob Kibodi RB | CLE

    Browns' Jacob Kibodi: Auditions in finale

    Kibodi had five carries for 24 yards and caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18.

    Kibodi, an undrafted free agent running back out Louisiana-Lafayette, was on and off with the Saints organization in 2024 before joining Cleveland's practice squad in December. He was elevated to the active roster and made his NFL debut due to several injuries in the backfield. In addition to the six touches on 17 offensive snaps, Kibodi had a couple of red-zone targets. Like many areas on Cleveland's offense, the backfield is expected to undergo a makeover in 2025. Whether Kibodi is part of that is still to be determined, but he could eventually sign a reserve/future contract, which would put him on the team's 90-man offseason roster.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Takes back seat to Harris

    Warren rushed the ball six times for 21 yards in Saturday's 19-17 loss to the Bengals. He did not record a catch on one target.

    Warren had been chipping into the role of Najee Harris in recent weeks, though he was out-touched 15-6 by Harris in Saturday's loss. Warren's lack of volume was also the result of game script, as the Steelers' running backs accounted for only four total carries in the final two quarters of the contest as they played from behind. Warren will likely serve as the change-of-pace back in Pittsburgh's opening-round playoff matchup against the Ravens or Texans.

  • Najee Harris RB | LAC

    Steelers' Najee Harris: Totals 16 touches in loss

    Harris rushed the ball 12 times for 36 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-17 loss to the Bengals. He added four catches on five targets for 20 yards.

    Harris has seen his role diminish in recent weeks, though he operated as Pittsburgh's clear lead back Saturday. His stat line wasn't particularly strong, though he did manage long runs of 11 and 10 yards on a drive early in the second quarter, which he later capped with a one-yard touchdown. Harris was forced to the sideline for part of the fourth quarter while being checked for a concussion, but he was able to return and should be ready to suit up for a postseason matchup against either the Ravens or Texans. He concludes the regular season with 1,043 rushing yards, his highest yardage total on the ground since 2021.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ

    Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Solid in spot start Saturday

    Herbert rushed 20 times for 69 yards and brought in seven of eight targets for 14 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night.

    Herbert got the spot start due to Chase Brown (ankle) being sidelined and shouldered quite the heavy workload after having previously combined for just eight carries since arriving in Cincinnati via trade with the Bears. The veteran running back unsurprisingly found tough sledding on the ground against the Steelers, but he was a steady presence in the passing game and finished third on the team in receptions and targets. If the Bengals are able to make their way into the postseason with help Sunday, Herbert would be in line to draw another start in the wild-card round if Brown remains sidelined.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Expected to play Sunday

    Pollard (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    After limited participation in practices Wednesday and Thursday, Pollard sat out Friday's session, though his absence may have been maintenance-related more than anything. Pollard looks as though he'll be in line to lead the Tennessee backfield, though official word on his status won't arrive until the team posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With Tyjae Spears (concussion) out for the season finale, Pollard could handle close to a full workload if he's truly healthy. Though the 3-13 Titans have little to play for in Week 18, Pollard has plenty at stake; he could earn $250,000 if he gets 83 rushing yards to bring his total to 1,100 for the season, and he would earn another $200,000 if he scores two rushing touchdowns.
