Panthers | Rico Dowdle misses practice Tue Dec 30, 03:28 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) did not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 30. Head coach Dave Canales said the move was not expected to hurt his availability for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Even though Dowdle sat out, head coach Dave Canales believes it won't be much of a problem ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers. "He's got a sore toe," Canales told reporters. "A little bit more sore than normal, and so we just decided to give him a rest day. I'm pretty confident that he'll be able to go." Dowdle, who has 229 carries for 1,066 yards and a career-high six touchdowns on the season, ran for 59 yards, his most since Week 9, in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks, working in his usual timeshare with Chuba Hubbard. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue could see action in Week 18 Tue Dec 30, 02:41 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue could see some snaps in Week 18, according to owner/general manager Jerry Jones.
| Footballguys view: Heading into the finale, Blue is running out of time to impress the coaching staff. As SI.com noted, there was no shortage of excitement when the Cowboys drafted Blue. The explosive back not only played a position of need, but also offered sub-4.4 speed, which has been another need. That excitement waned as Blue failed to see the field early in the season. He eventually got a shot when Miles Sanders was injured, but managed just 65 yards on 22 carries before being surpassed by Malik Davis. We'll see if Blue gets some chances to change the perception. |
Falcons | Ten carries for Tyler Allgeier Tue Dec 30, 01:07 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier posted 10 rushes for 23 yards in a Week 17 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Link to story Falcons | Bijan Robinson unstoppable on MNF Tue Dec 30, 12:52 AM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran the ball 22 times for 195 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Robinson added a team-high five receptions (on eight targets) for 34 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: A 93-yard touchdown added to another sensational night for Robinson, who had the Rams spinning to the tune of 229 scrimmage yards -- his second 200-plus scrimmage-yard outing on Monday Night Football this year. In Week 6, Robinson had a then-career-long 81-yard TD run as part of a 238-yard night against the Bills. Only Robinson and Jerry Rice have had back-to-back games with 200-plus scrimmage yards in Monday Night Football history. He's averaged 180.4 scrimmage yards per prime-time game this year. The resulting 39.9 fantasy points were second only to Derrick Henry's 45.5 in Week 17. |

Rams | Blake Corum manages 18 yards before injury Tue Dec 30, 12:52 AM
Prior to departing with an ankle injury, Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum (ankle) carried the ball six times for 18 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Corum departed in the second quarter and was eventually ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Corum will be a situation to monitor this week. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters he plans to play his starters in Week 18. He has not been happy with the effort the past several weeks, and it showed during the post Monday Night Football press conference. Corum has been playing well heading into Monday night. He had touchdowns in four straight games, sharing time with Kyren Williams. Corum was easily on pace for a fourth consecutive contest with double-digit carries before the injury. We'll be watching for more on his injury in coming days. |

White was on the field for some of Irving's snaps because he is the best pass-blocking tailback.

Link to story Cowboys | Javonte Williams may be available Mon Dec 29, 03:13 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: Williams was able to max out all of his contract incentives for the year in Week 17, but he couldn't finish the game due to his nagging shoulder injury. By keeping him sidelined for the Week 18 finale against the Giants, Williams will be a free agent after the season, so getting a longer look at Malik Davis, who recorded 103 yards on Christmas Day, might be wise, especially after rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah failed to make an impact. We'll be watching for more. |

Bears | Two TDs for D'Andre Swift Mon Dec 29, 01:13 AM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed nine times for 54 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 24 yards in a 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Swift made the most of his opportunities against the 49ers on Sunday Night Football. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry while scoring multiple rushing touchdowns for the second time over his last three starts. Swift became the first Bear with 1,000 rushing yards in a season since David Montgomery in 2020 -- Swift's rookie season with Detroit, where Montgomery now plays. For the record, Swift continued to share backfield duties with Kyle Monangai (11 touches for 47 yards). Both are viable fantasy options against the Lions in Week 18. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey totals 181 yards, TD Mon Dec 29, 01:06 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 23 times for 140 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, while adding four receptions for 41 yards on six targets.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey continues to put together a season to remember as his 181 scrimmage yards and one TD Sunday pushed him into elite company. McCaffrey joined Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson as the only players in NFL history to have three seasons with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns. McCaffrey's 28.1 fantasy points made him RB3 through the Sunday night game. |

Titans | Tony Pollard has 100-yard streak snapped Sun Dec 28, 06:22 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 18 times for 85 yards in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while adding two receptions for 10 yards on two targets. He ended up going over the 1,000-yard rushing yard, too, hitting that milestone for the fourth consecutive season.
| Footballguys view: Pollard fell short of posting his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game, but he was still a strong performer. He might have done enough to justify playing him the $6.7 million he is due next season. Pollard showed he still has some good football left in him. Going over 1000 yards rushing for this team was quite the feat. |

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker finishes with 57 total yards Sun Dec 28, 05:58 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III rushed for 51 yards on 15 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also caught two passes for six yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Walker went back to being a dud in Week 17 lineups after he was a stud on many Week 16 benches. He is physically impressive, but Walker is just not meshing with the Seahawks run blocking and play calls. He is heading to free agency in the offseason as a player other teams may value more than Seattle. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet picks up two rushing TDs Sun Dec 28, 05:50 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also caught two passes for 12 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was the big hit in the Seahawks backfield one week after Ken Walker III appeared to have his breakout game against the Rams. Charbonnet helped settle down Sam Darnold with a 25-yard run on 3rd-and-15 when Darnold was struggling early on, and he was more physical and determined than the Panthers run defense in the second half. His dynasty value could go way up in the offseason if the Seahawks don't re-sign Walker in free agency. |
