  • Michael Carter RB | TEN

    Jets' Michael Carter: Totals 690 yards in second season

    Carter rushed three times for four yards and caught two of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Carter struggled down the stretch along with the entire Jets offense. He totaled 402 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 114 carries while catching 41 of 554 targets for 288 yards over 16 appearances in 2022. Carter was used primarily in a change-of-pace role in his second NFL season, and he'll likely see similar usage in 2023.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Jets' Zonovan Knight: Bottled up in season finale

    Knight rushed 12 times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

    Knight burst onto the scene with consecutive 100-yard scrimmage games, but he cooled off after the hot start, totaling only 70 rushing yards on 39 rushing attempts for a paltry 1.8 yards per carry over his last four appearances. The undrafted rookie could factor into the Jets' backfield plans next season, though he'll likely be pushed to a reserve role whenever Breece Hall (knee) is deemed healthy. Knight totaled exactly 300 yards on 85 carries and 13 catches for 100 yards on 14 targets across seven appearances.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Finishes regular season strong

    McCaffrey (ankle/knee) rushed 10 times for 45 yards and caught all three of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-13 rout of the Cardinals.

    McCaffrey was limited to his second lowest touch total of the season (13), but he still produced a strong fantasy line with his fifth receiving touchdown on the year. The low touch count can be attributed to the star running back's recent bout with minor injuries, in addition to the team limiting his touches ahead of the playoffs. McCaffrey finishes the regular season with 1,880 yards from scrimmage and 13 combined touchdowns across 17 games with the Panthers and 49ers. San Francisco will lean heavily on its prized deadline acquisition in the wild-card round, likely mixing in Elijah Mitchell (knee) whenever McCaffrey is not on the field.

  • Bears' Khari Blasingame: Plays mostly special teams in 2022

    Blasingame didn't handle a rushing attempt in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season without an offensive touch.

    Blasingame played about 10 snaps per game as a fullback and about 15 per game as a special teamer. He didn't receive a carry and was targeted once all year, and over his four-year career, he has three rushing attempts and 10 receptions. He's now an unrestricted free agent.

  • Bears' Darrynton Evans: Inactive in Week 18

    Evans ended the season with 14 carries for 64 yards along with one reception for 33 yards over six games played.

    Evans saw his first offensive snaps of the season in Week 11, while Khalil Herbert was on injured reserve. During the five games he was in the running back rotation, he topped out at 18 snaps and handled a total of 14 carries in five games. He's now a restricted free agent.

  • Trestan Ebner RB | CHI

    Bears' Trestan Ebner: Limited usage in rookie season

    Ebner was targeted twice in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 24 carries for 54 yards along with two receptions for 16 yards.

    Ebner saw most of his opportunities as a running back when David Montgomery missed time during Weeks 3 and 4, but he never played significant snaps in any other game the rest of the season. It's likely that he'll be counted on to continue his role as a kick returner next year, and if he shows progress as a running back, he could see enhanced opportunities in that capacity as well. He's under contract through 2025.

  • Damien Harris RB | BUF

    Patriots' Damien Harris: Set to be UFA after Week 18 loss

    Harris rushed 13 times for 48 yards and caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.

    Harris split carries with Rhamondre Stevenson in what could be Harris' last game as a Patriot. The 25-year-old running back will be an unrestricted free agent after rushing 106 times for 462 yards and three touchdowns in his fourth NFL season. Harris scored 15 rushing touchdowns in 2021, but injuries limited him to 11 appearances in 2022.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Four carries in finale

    White rushed four times for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    White was one of several Buccaneers offensive starters who put in less than a full workday in a game that was nothing more than a postseason tune-up for Tampa Bay. The rookie should enjoy a solid role in next weekend's home wild-card matchup after logging double-digit carries and receptions in three of the four games prior to Sunday's finale.

  • Royce Freeman RB | CHI

    Texans' Royce Freeman: Stymied in finale

    Freeman rushed seven times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Texans' 32-31 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Freeman was unable to take advantage of what had been an inconsistent Indy run defense, gaining nearly half his meager rushing yardage total on a seven-yard scamper and netting just eight yards on his other six totes. The journeyman back has appeared in 11 games with the Texans over the last two seasons and is on an expiring contract, and it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to claim a complementary role behind the promising Dameon Pierce (IR-ankle) in training camp next summer.

  • Alvin Kamara RB | NO

    Saints' Alvin Kamara: Season high rushing yards Week 18

    Kamara posted 23 carries for 107 yards and gathered in one of two targets for three yards during Sunday's 10-7 defeat to Carolina.

    Kamara closed out his 2022 campaign with his second 100-yard rushing game of the season. He also matched his season high for rushing attempts, and he finished with three games of 20 or more carries over the final four weeks of the regular season. Over 15 contests, Kamara recorded 223 carries for 897 yards and two rushing touchdowns to go along with 57 receptions (on 77 targets) for 490 yards and two receiving touchdowns. While he didn't come close to matching his usual standard as a scorer, the 27-year-old running back still accumulated over 1,300 total yards for the sixth time in as many seasons. Kamara also started the 2022 campaign hampered by a rib injury, though he still handled 280 touches. These are both encouraging signs for his status as one of the top fantasy running backs heading into the 2023 campaign.
