A postseason we actually get to enjoy

Backup QB Jake Browning hasn’t been the end for the Bengals offense and Mixon is playing a major role to help alleviate the pressure. Only seven running backs had more snaps than Mixon last week. In Week 14 he’ll face the Colts, our fourth-best matchup for opposing runners.

Brady Robertson threw two touchdown passes in a 35-point first half to help earn the Maroon Tide earn its 10th straight playoff win. “We’re just trying to make history.”

Mario Anderson started his career as a walk-on at Division II Newberry. Four years later, he's the starting running back for South Carolina football.

In Weeks 2 to 5, when Achane was playing, Mostert scored 6 of his 13 total TDs, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing. With -125 scoring odds and stout 43.43% TD dependency, Montgomery has a good chance in Week 11.

Jonathon Brooks accounted for nearly 49% of UT's rushing attempts, 62.1% of its rushing yards and half of its rushing touchdowns.

A league built around wide receivers will be quite different from the one that used to rely on quarterbacks and running backs.

Walker has had a tough couple of weeks, but he was dealing with an injury while going up against two of the best defenses in the league in the Browns and the Ravens. Prior to that, Walker had either scored or surpassed 100 yards in every game. This week he faces a Washington team that is our 10th-best matchup for opposing running backs going into Week 10, a matchup that Vegas gives him -125 odds to score, the second-best odds for a running back this week.

Braelon Allen arrived at Wisconsin in 2021 as a hard-hitting safety who had bulked up enough to become a linebacker for his home-state school. Jonathan Taylor, who preceded Allen in Wisconsin's backfield, was the runaway NFL rushing champion in 2021 for Indianapolis.

It was Moss who punched in the score in Week 8, and it was Moss who has outscored Taylor four to one over the past four games. Taylor only logged one more carry (13) than Moss (12) in Week 8 too, so it’s not as if he’s running away with the carries.
