  • Tyler Allgeier RB | ATL

    Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Stymied on ground in win

    Allgeier rushed 10 times for 23 yards in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    The reserve back saw backfield mate Bijan Robinson tear through the Rams for 195 yards on 22 carries, but Allgeier had nowhere near the same amount of success finding running room. Allgeier's 2.3 yards per carry was his second-lowest figure of the season, yet the fourth-year pro could have a good opportunity to bounce back in a Week 18 regular-season finale against a vulnerable Saints run defense.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Gains 130 yards on 16 touches

    Williams took 13 carries for 92 yards while corralling all three of his targets for 38 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to Atlanta.

    RB Blake Corum (6-18-0) exited Monday Night Football in the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return. Williams took full advantage of the extra work in the second half and finished the narrow loss just a yard shy of his single-game high in yards from scrimmage this season (131). The extent of Corum's injury isn't clear at the moment, but the team may opt to play it safe with the talented backup Week 18. Rams' beat writer Stu Jackson reported that coach Sean McVay will deploy his healthy starters against the Cardinals on Sunday, though it's unclear whether Williams will have the backfield all to himself for the regular-season finale, given he was examined for a high-ankle sprain in the fourth quarter before being cleared to return to Monday's game, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Compiles seven touches in Week 17

    Demercado turned five carries into 11 yards and gathered in two of three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.

    Demercado actually paced Arizona's backfield with a 53 percent snap share ahead of Michael Carter's 44 percent and Corey Kiner's four percent, but game script resulted in the Cardinals attempting 37 passes versus just 13 combined runs. Carter tallied seven rushes for 29 yards to lead the team on the ground and also added two catches (on four targets) for 14 yards. Since Bam Knight (ankle) joined James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve after Week 15, Demercado has notched just 12 touches for 50 total yards over the last two games, leaving him on the outside looking in to fantasy relevance Week 18 against the Rams.

  • Bijan Robinson RB | ATL

    Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Record-filled effort in upset win

    Robinson rushed 22 times for 195 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of eight targets for 34 yards and another score in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.

    It was truly a night for the ages for Robinson, who provided some luster to a non-playoff season for the Falcons with a career-best effort in the penultimate game of the campaign. Not only was Robinson's rushing yardage total a new single-game career high, the 93-yard touchdown scamper late in the first half that was integral in getting him there was also the longest run in franchise history. Robinson also extended his streak of recording at least five catches to three games while tallying a receiving TD for the second consecutive contest. Additionally, his production on the ground leaves him just 12 yards short of eclipsing the 1,456 rushing yards he posted last season as the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints approaches Sunday.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Sustains ankle injury

    Corum went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Falcons due to a right ankle injury and is questionable to return, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Corum limped to the sideline following a two-yard carry late in the second quarter and was evaluated by medical staff on the sideline before leaving the field. Kyren Williams will take on an even larger role in Corum's absence, and Ronnie Rivers should be in the mix for backfield snaps if Corum is unable to return.

  • Tahj Brooks RB | CIN

    Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Three mop-up carries

    Brooks carried the ball three times for 10 yards and had one catch for nine yards late in the Bengals' win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Brooks didn't come into the game until late, with Joe Flacco at the helm and the Bengals protecting a four-score lead. He's had scant work all season as the Bengals' third running back.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Cam Akers: Returns to practice squad

    Akers reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Akers was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers, logging five snaps on special teams, including two kickoff returns for 54 yards. The running back could be back with the active roster for Saturday's final regular-season contest against the 49ers.

  • Dante Miller RB | NYG

    Dante Miller: Reverts to practice squad

    Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Miller was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday for the first time this season, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for Sunday's win against the Raiders. The Giants' Week 18 tilt against the Cowboys is Miller's last opportunity to appear in a game during the 2025 regular season.

  • Chris Collier: Returns to practice squad

    Collier reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Collier was elevated to the Raiders' active roster Saturday for the first time this season. However, he was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Raiders despite Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee) being inactive. Collier has not appeared in a regular-season game this year, and his last opportunity to do so is Week 18 against the Chiefs.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Scores again in blowout win

    Perine had three carries for five yards and a goal-line touchdown in the Bengals' rout of the Cardinals in Week 17. He also caught a pass for eight yards.

    Perine played his lowest share of offensive snaps (31 percent) since Week 4, not counting when he got hurt Week 9 early in the loss to the Bears. Perine has been playing through an ankle injury, so it makes a certain amount of sense that he's playing fewer snaps.
