Brian Robinson Jr.
WAS (at DAL)
Brian Robinson carried the ball 10 times for 24 yards, averaging 2.4 yards per carry, with a long of 6 yards. B-Rob was also involved in the passing game, catching 2 of his 3 targets for 17 yards, with a long of 9 yards. He played 63% of the snaps but went 0-for-3 rushing in the red zone.
But it was overall a terrible game for Robinson, given that he fumbled twice. 8 of the last 11 RBs to face Atlanta have gone over their rushing yards projection. I like him to rebound in Week 17. |

15.
Breece Hall
NYJ (vs . MIA)
Breece Hall led the Jets' rushing attack with 14 carries for 52 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry, with his longest rush being 7 yards. Breece Hall caught 5 passes for 38 yards on 6 targets, with a long reception of 15 yards.
Hall dominated the backfield with 10 first-half carries. No other Jets RB had more than 1. The Jets RB1 was also targeted five times in the first half. Hall finished the game with his standard 77% snap share. The usage was very encouraging after he practiced this week in full. Great matchup on deck versus Buffalo, who struggles against pass-catching RBs. Hall went for over 150 yards from scrimmage in his last matchup versus the Bills this season. |

Rhamondre Stevenson
NE (vs . BUF)
Rhamondre Stevenson was the leading rusher for the Patriots, carrying the ball 12 times for 60 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, with a long of 14 yards and 1 red-zone touchdown. However, he also lost a fumble.
Drake Maye rushed 6 times for 30 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, with a long of 13 yards. Take the over on Maye's rushing yards for Week 17. Antonio Gibson had 10 rushes for 28 yards, averaging 2.8 yards per carry, with a long of 9 yards. Rhamondre Stevenson had 1 reception for 13 yards, with a long of 13 yards. Antonio Gibson caught 2 passes for 8 yards, with a long of 4 yards. The final snaps were 59% for Gibson and 44% for Stevenson. I know this final snap count will undoubtedly want those to bury Stevenson, but don't get this twisted. Gibson also fumbled in this game and got stuffed at the goal line for a three-yard loss. Technically, Stevenson might be in the doghouse for two fumbles, given that he failed to corral a pitch from Maye that resulted in a Bills defensive touchdown. |

22.
Isiah Pacheco
KC (at DEN)
The Chiefs' running game was led by Kareem Hunt, who carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry and scoring one touchdown with a long of 20 yards. Patrick Mahomes also contributed on the ground, rushing for 33 yards on 5 attempts (6.6 yards per carry), including an opening touchdown and a long of 15 yards. Isiah Pacheco had 9 carries for 26 yards, averaging 2.9 yards per carry. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy also contributed on the ground with 3 carries for 10 yards (3.3 yards per carry).
Hunt was used as a receiving option as well, recording 2 catches for 24 yards, while Samaje Perine contributed 3 catches for 50 yards. Isiah Pacheco had one catch but gained just -1 yard on the play. He had another catch removed by an offensive holding penalty. Hunt out-snapped Pacheco 43% to 35%. However, Pacheco did have more carries in the first half (4 vs 2). Hunt ran more routes which helped push his snaps over Pacheco. Hunt also earned all the carries in the red zone (three) for the Chiefs. I was afraid this backfield might get messy. KC is reluctant to turn it over fully to Pacheco, and Perine chipping in doesn't help anyone. Pacheco might also not be healthy. KC will play @ PIT on Christmas. Sell the backfield. |

23.
Jerome Ford
CLE (at BAL)
Jerome Ford led the rushing attack with 11 carries for 92 yards, averaging an impressive 8.4 yards per carry, with a long rush of 66 yards and a touchdown. He only had three carries in the first half.
Ford also played a key role in the passing game, catching all 5 of his targets for 39 yards, with a long reception of 12 yards. He was a full-blown workhorse earning an 80% snap share. |

24.
Travis Etienne Jr.
JAC (at IND)
The Jaguars' running game was led by Tank Bigsby, who rushed 12 times for 50 yards, averaging 4.2 yards per carry and scoring one touchdown. His longest run went for 10 yards. Travis Etienne contributed with 9 carries for 22 yards, averaging just 2.4 yards per carry, but he was unable to find the end zone. The Jaguars also used Bigsby and Etienne in a committee approach, with Bigsby being the more effective rusher on the day.
Both guys saw seven carries for 27 yards in the first half, but Bigsby scored. Although he cashed in his TD before his fumbled at the end of the second quarter. Etienne finished with the higher snap share at 52% to Bigsby's 28%. But Bigsby dominated the red-zone touches three to zero. Given the upcoming matchup versus a reeling Titans run defense, Bigsby looks to be in the driver's seat to lead this backfield in Week 17. |

Najee Harris
LAC (at LV)
The Pittsburgh Steelers' rushing attack was led by Jaylen Warren, who carried the ball 12 times for 48 yards, averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Najee Harris contributed with 9 carries for 42 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per attempt.
Russell Wilson had 3 attempts, rushing for 27 yards, including a long of 19 yards, averaging 9.0 yards per carry. Cordarrelle Patterson had 1 rush for 12 yards. Wilson has over 13 rushing yards in three straight games and four of his last five. Look for him to continue scrambling without his No. 1 WR. Warren dominated the snaps in the backfield playing 67% of the snaps to Harris' 28%. They split carries four apiece in the first half, although Warren dominated the overall touches. Harris' 28% snap share was the lowest that he has played all season. Warren has out-snapped Harris in three straight weeks. He also saw the red-zone work in Week 16. Harris needs volume to get to 50-plus yards, and that might not be in store for the Steelers as they are underdogs up against a strong Chiefs run defense. The under has hit for RBs versus the Chiefs in 8 of their last 11 games |

Tyrone Tracy led the team with 7 carries for 26 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry, with a longest run of 5 yards. Tracy caught 4 passes for 43 yards (11% target share), with a touchdown and a longest reception of 16 yards. The rookie RB had another rushing touchdown that was called back on a holding call in the fourth quarter. He finished with a 63% snap share and he saw both RB touches in the red zone.

Audric Estime
DEN (vs . KC)
The running game was led by rookie Audric Estime, who carried the ball 9 times for 48 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. He started the game for the Broncos with Jaleel McLaughlin inactive. Estime also led the backfield in first-half carries, going five for 30 yards (6.0 YPC) while also getting the nod in the red zone with two carries near the goal line.
According to Next Gen Stats, the Broncos recorded a season-high 76.9% rushing success rate in the first half. But in the second half, the Broncos generated a season-low 12.5% rushing success rate. The Broncos recorded all 3 of their explosive runs (10+ yards) in the first half, their fifth game this season without a run of 10+ yards in the second half. Javonte Williams (52%) played significant snap percentages. Williams led the entire team and backfield with 11 targets (31% target share). Nix missed Williams on a walk-in TD catch out in the flat, which resulted in an eventual Vele touchdown reception. Estime played 13 snaps (20%). It's very encouraging to see positive games from both Estime and Mims, but we have been down this road before with Broncos skill players. The ROS schedule goes @ CIN and vs. KC. You'd have to be very desperate to start any Bronco not-named Nix or Sutton even in a plus-matchup versus Cincy. The backfield projects that Estime will handle carries on early downs, but Williams will stay involved as a receiver. But it further gets complicated if we get Jaleel McLaughlin back in the fold for Week 17. |

J.K. Dobbins
FA (BYE)
The Gus Bus played 46% of the snaps to Vidal's 32% snap rate. Edwards' total yardage came on one big run as he was sitting on 8 for 18 yards in the first half. He had a 43-yard rush in the fourth quarter. Without it, Edwards rushed 13 times for 25 yards. Pain for those who bet on the Edwards rushing prop under (me) last Thursday night.
Edwards has fewer than 37.5 rushing yards in five of his last six games and has 50-plus yards in just three games played this season. Also, something to keep in mind: J.K. Dobbins could return in Week 17 against the Patriots (great matchup). They said on the SNF broadcast three weeks ago that he intends to return in Week 17. According to the Athletic, Dobbins can get an additional $150K each if he reaches thresholds of 900 and 1,050 rushing yards. He was sitting at 766 rushing yards before injuring his knee and being placed on injured reserve. |
