  • Bills' Devin Singletary: Modest output Sunday

    Singletary rushed six times for 25 yards and caught five of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.

    Singletary trailed quarterback Josh Allen in both carries and rushing yards in snowy conditions, resulting in struggles in the passing game. Furthermore, Allen scored Buffalo's lone touchdown of the contest, sneaking in from one yard. Although he contributed with a handful of catches, it was another lukewarm performance from Singletary, who is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent after totaling 1,099 scrimmage yards and six scores on 215 touches this season.

  • Joe Mixon RB | HOU

    Bengals' Joe Mixon: Tops century mark

    Mixon rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bills in the AFC divisional round. He also caught two of three targets for 18 yards.

    Mixon dashed through the snow behind a dominant offensive line, topping the 100-yard mark for the first time since his Week 9 explosion versus the Panthers. The tailback also plowed his way in for one-yard touchdown to close the third quarter, helping Cincinnati extend its one-score lead at the time. Mixon will now set his sights on next Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Although he was sidelined for his team's meeting with Kansas City in Week 13 of the regular season, Mixon totaled 115 yards on 24 touches in last year's AFC Championship Game victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

  • 49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Sitting out Sunday

    Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.

    Davis-Price was also a healthy scratch for the team's wild-card round win over the Seahawks. The rookie running back has failed to gain a steady role with the 49ers this season, although he was active for each of the last three weeks of the regular season. The team will roll with Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason in the backfield Sunday against Dallas.

  • Snoop Conner RB | DAL

    Jaguars' Snoop Conner: Finishes 2022 with 42 yards

    Conner closed the 2022 campaign with 12 carries for 42 yards and one touchdown in eight games.

    The 22-year-old had a minimal role in Jacksonville's offense during his rookie campaign, and he played just one offensive snap between the two playoff games. Primary backup tailback JaMycal Hasty is a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Jaguars can choose to bring him back. Conner is unlikely to enter training camp better than No. 3 on the depth chart since workhorse Travis Etienne will also return.

  • Jashaun Corbin RB | DAL

    Giants' Jashaun Corbin: Gets new deal

    Corbin signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Sunday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Corbin signed with New York as a UDFA out of Florida State in May. The 22-year-old spent the season on the team's practice squad, and although he was elevated for the wild-card round game against the Vikings, he was inactive for the contest. He'll now have the opportunity to earn a larger role with the team for next season.

  • Matt Breida RB | SF

    Giants' Matt Breida: Scores in divisional-round loss

    Breida rushed four times for 23 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 19 yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night.

    Breida ended up recording the only score of the night for the Giants on an eight-yard run just past the halfway point of the third quarter. His first-half reception was also noteworthy, as he worked himself open to save a play on which Daniel Jones had to scramble for an extended period. Breida played his first season in New York on a one-year contract, and after doing a serviceable job as a complementary option with a 54-220-1 line on the ground and a 20-118 tally through the air in the regular season, it's conceivable he could be brought back in 2023.

  • Eagles' Kenneth Gainwell: Breaks out in divisional-round win

    Gainwell rushed 12 times for 112 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for nine yards in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.

    Gainwell ended up logging just five rush attempts fewer than Miles Sanders, with game script heavily tilting toward the ground attack as the night unfolded. Gainwell, a second-year back, is still most likely to operate in a change-of-pace, low-volume role in an NFC Championship Game battle versus either the Cowboys or 49ers a week from Sunday, but Saturday night's performance, which was highlighted by a 35-yard scoring scamper with 1:51 remaining, served as a reminder of his considerable upside.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Giants' Saquon Barkley: Limited opportunity Saturday night

    Barkley rushed nine times for 61 yards and brought in two of three targets for 21 yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night.

    Barkley's otherwise quiet night was highlighted by a 39-yard scamper on the Giants' only scoring drive, and his overall touches were limited by game script. The talented back finished a resurgent regular season with 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 295 carries while also bringing in 57 of 76 targets for 338 yards, and he didn't lose a fumble across 16 games. However, he logged just nine carries apiece in the Giants' two postseason contests, although he did score twice in the wild-card win over the Vikings. Barkley is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year, but given this season's results, there should certainly be interest in keeping him in the Big Apple.

  • Miles Sanders RB | DAL

    Eagles' Miles Sanders: Efficient in divisional-round win

    Sanders rushed 17 times for 90 yards in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.

    Sanders started ripping off solid gains beginning on the Eagles' second possession, and he ultimately got some rest in the fourth quarter with Philadelphia comfortably ahead. Sanders' lack of a pass-catching role and his minimal red-zone opportunities do make him a bit of a fantasy wild card, but even with the success of backfield mates Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott on Saturday night, Sanders should still retain a lead role for a conference championship clash versus the Cowboys or 49ers a week from Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Disappoints against Jags

    McKinnon rushed the ball 11 times for 25 yards in Saturday's 27-20 win over the Jaguars.

    McKinnon was stymied as a runner, and he was narrowly out-touched by Isiah Pacheco. While he was bottled up on the ground, the more surprising part of McKinnon's performance was the fact that he was not targeted in the passing game. That likely had to do with Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury early in the contest as well as the game script, and the Chiefs could opt to keep McKinnon in the backfield more regularly to serve as an extra blocker in next week's AFC Championship Game.
