  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Panthers' Miles Sanders: Gets four touches

    Sanders rushed two times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.

    Sanders played only 13 offensive snaps, marking his second-lowest tally of the campaign. With limited production to boot, he approaches Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers with his stock continuing a downward trend.

  • Ameer Abdullah RB | JAC

    Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Just two touches Sunday

    Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

    Abdullah logged a season-high 30 offensive snaps with Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) sidelined for a third straight contest, but fill-in starter Zamir White earned 25 touches out of the backfield Sunday, notching 106 total yards in the process. The team figures to continue leaning on White in Week 18 against the Broncos if Jacobs remains out, capping Abdullah's projection.

  • Chase Edmonds RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Heavily involved as receiver

    Edmonds rushed three times for 16 yards and brought in five of six targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    One week after recording a season-high 10 carries, Edmonds produced new 2023 high-water marks in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Game script helped lead to Edmonds' expanded opportunity, however, and it's possible the same scenario isn't replicated Week 18 against the lowly Panthers in what is a must-win game for the Buccaneers.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Five touches in loss

    Mattison had three carries for 17 yards and two receptions for 13 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Mattison again took a back seat to starter Ty Chandler as he played on 21 of the offense's 53 snaps. Chandler played on 30 snaps. Mattison looks set to work behind Chandler again for the regular season finale Sunday at Detroit.

  • Rashaad Penny RB | CAR

    Eagles' Rashaad Penny: Stuck on sidelines

    Penny did not see the field in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

    The Eagles had four active running backs in Sunday's game, but neither Penny nor Boston Scott received a single offensive snap. Penny has appeared in only two games all season, carrying the ball five times for 17 yards.

  • Boston Scott RB | PIT

    Eagles' Boston Scott: Non-factor against Cardinals

    Scott didn't play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals.

    Scott hasn't been a significant part of the Eagles' offensive game plan at any point this season, but he's typically at least been on the field from time to time. Week 17's loss marked the fourth time this season that Scott's only snaps came on special teams.

  • Tyler Goodson RB | ATL

    Colts' Tyler Goodson: Just one carry in win

    Goodson had one carry for three yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Goodson payed just three snaps on offense as the Colts had a large lead most of the game and didn't need a pass catcher to relieve Jonathan Taylor. Instead, Trey Sermon played 18 snaps and had five carries for 32 yards mostly late in the game when Taylor was briefly sidelined.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Colts' Trey Sermon: Has 32 yards rushing in win

    Sermon had five carries for 32 yards and two receptions for nine yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Sermon played 18 snaps on offense as he got playing time late in the game when Jonathan Taylor was briefly banged up. Sermon looks set to be the primary ball carrier behind Taylor with Zack Moss (forearm) out, while Tyler Goodson works in a pass-catching role among the backup running backs.

  • Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Diminishing role

    Johnson had three carries for zero yards and returned one kickoff for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-0 win against Carolina.

    Jacksonville running backs received 29 carries in Sunday's blowout, with both Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby in double digits. Johnson played just 12 offensive snaps and may have dropped to No. 3 on the backfield depth chart.

  • Tank Bigsby RB | PHI

    Jaguars' Tank Bigsby: Totals 32 yards in win

    Bigsby carried 10 times for 32 yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 26-0 win against the Panthers.

    The rookie third-round pick entered the contest having played just six offensive snaps over the previous five games, but he tallied a career-high 10 carries as Jacksonville dominated Sunday from start to finish. Bigsby out-snapped D'Ernest Johnson, 17-12, and may have reclaimed the No. 2 job in the Jaguars backfield heading into Week 18.
