Tier 1: Front-Runners - Week 16 Waiver Wire Running Backs
Prioritize These Running Backs On Waiver Wires
| Tier 1 - Frontrunners | Team | Rostered |
| Jerome Ford | Cleveland Browns | 42% |
| Kendre Miller | New Orleans Saints | 11% |
| Tyjae Spears | Tennessee Titans | 44% |
| Ameer Abdullah | Las Vegas Raiders | 16% |
| Kenneth Gainwell | Philadelphia Eagles | 5% |
Jerome Ford, Cleveland Browns - 42% Rostered
Jerome Ford had re-emerged as a prospective roster addition in recent weeks due to his ongoing role as Cleveland’s primary receiving weapon from the backfield. Now, the broken foot that has been sustained by Nick Chubb has launched Ford into an extensive workload as the Browns’ lead back.
Chubb suffered the injury during Cleveland’s Week 15 matchup with Kansas City. Ford ultimately secured a 58.3% snap share during the contest. He also accumulated seven carries, finished ninth among all backs with a season-high 84 rushing yards, and averaged 12.0 yards per attempt.

Ford also generated his second rushing touchdown of the season and his first since the Browns’ season opener. He also ran 19 routes, captured both of his targets, and assembled 20 yards as a pass catcher. Ford has now operated with a 55.3% snap share since Week 11. He has also carried 35 times (7.0 per game) while accruing 182 rushing yards (36.4 per game).
Ford is currently available in 42% of all leagues and is the top option at his position on this week's waiver wire. His versatility as a rusher and receiver will launch him into a sizable workload which positions him to function as an RB2 during Cleveland’s Week 16-17 matchups against the Bengals and Dolphins.
Kendre Miller, New Orleans Saints - 11% Rostered
Kendre Miller's stock has been rising since he resurfaced in the New Orleans backfield rotation. His role will expand even further in Week 16 if Alvin Kamara is unable to operate in his usual capacity as the Saints’ primary back.
Alvin Kamara (groin) is questionable to return. @Saints
— New Orleans Saints PR (@SaintsPR) December 15, 2024
Miller had been limited to 30 snaps/11 touches/53 total yards from Weeks 1-13 and was inactive in 10 matchups during that sequence. However, Miller has now secured a 34.5% snap share since Week 14, while also assembling 78 rushing yards (39.0 per game), with his 19 attempts (9.5 per game).
Kendre Miller got shot out of a cannon on this one pic.twitter.com/hL4YOa8Tib
— Saints Film Room (@SaintsFilmRoom) December 15, 2024
That includes Miller’s usage and output in Week 15 when he attained a 47.1% snap share, carried nine times, and generated 46 rushing yards. Miller was also elevated into temporary lead-back duties after Kamara departed the contests due to a groin injury. Jamaal Williams failed to register a touch in Week 15 and has been relegated to 11 snaps since Miller surged into New Orleans’s backfield rotation.
Kamara’s status should be monitored. However, Miller has vaulted among this week’s top two options at running back. He will seize an expanded workload if Kamara is unavailable during the Saints matchups with the Packers and Raiders in Weeks 16-17.
Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans - 44% Rostered
Tyjae Spears has contended with multiple injuries during the regular season that have impacted his availability and restricted his overall production. He was sidelined with a hamstring issue from Weeks 7-9, before returning to secure a 45.3% snap share in Weeks 10-11 and averaging (5.0 carries/23.5 rushing yards/3.0 targets per game).
He also sustained a concussion in Week 11 and was inactive during the Titans’ Week 12 matchup with Houston. However, Spears has also secured a 46.5% snap share since Week 14. He also delivered his most productive outing of the season during Tennessee’s Week 15 matchup with Cincinnati.
Have a day Tyjae! @Tyjae22 up to 80 receiving yards on the day with a gain of 43 here
📺: Watch #CINvsTEN on @NFLonFOX stream on NFL+ pic.twitter.com/LDTLl9D0Ab
— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) December 15, 2024
That includes Spears’s numbers as a receiving weapon during the contest. Spears established season highs in routes run (27), targets (seven), receptions (six), and receiving yards (87), and generated his first receiving touchdown of the season. Spears also produced his second rushing touchdown of the year, and his first since Week 4.
YOU RAISE ME UP @tyjae22
📺: Watch #CINvsTEN on @NFLonFOX stream on NFL+ pic.twitter.com/g71UCZv4gr
— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) December 15, 2024
Spears is a viable handcuff as he continues to operate as the Titans’ RB2 behind Tony Pollard. He would also become a significant resource if Pollard is sidelined, or if Pollard's workload is restricted during Tennessee’s matchups in Weeks 16-17 (Colts/Jaguars).
Patrick Taylor Jr., San Francisco 49ers - 23% Rostered
The hamstring injury that has been sustained by Isaac Guerendo appears destined to prevent him from operating as San Francisco’s primary back when the 49ers travel to Miami on Sunday.
After losing RBs Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell to season-ending injuries, it now looks as if the 49ers will be without RB Isaac Guerendo for Sunday’s game vs. Miami. Guerendo is dealing with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play, per source. pic.twitter.com/PyqyBCqPoT
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 19, 2024
Guerendo’s expected absence will vault Patrick Taylor Jr. atop the 49ers’ reconstructed depth chart. This presents Taylor as a viable solution to anyone who had elevated Guerendo into their lineups in advance of their critical Week 16 matchups.
Taylor was signed as an undrafted free agent by Green Bay in 2020, and accumulated 322 snaps/65 carries/261 rushing yards/20 targets with the Packers through Week 18 of the 2023 regular season.
Taylor also signed with San Francisco last April but has been limited to 41 snaps/14 attempts/50 rushing yards/two targets from Weeks 1-15. However, Taylor’s role will expand significantly following the latest in a series of injuries that have impacted the 49ers’ backfield.
Touches should also be allocated to Israel Abanikanda, while Deebo Samuel Sr. will secure a percentage of carries. However, Taylor has emerged as the back who should be entrusted with the most extensive workload by Shanahan. Taylor can be utilized as an RB3/flex and could remain a starting option in Week 17 if Guerendo is unavailable for San Francisco’s matchup with Detroit.
Ameer Abdullah, Las Vegas Raiders - 16% Rostered
Ameer Abdullah and Alexander Mattison shared touches during the Raiders' Week 15 matchup with Atlanta after Sincere McCormick sustained an ankle injury. McCormick was initially deployed as the Raiders’ lead back during the contest and had accumulated seven attempts, run six routes, and captured both of his targets. However, the injury abruptly ended his appearance after just 14 snaps.
🎱 in the END ZONE!!!#ATLvsLV | 📺 ESPN pic.twitter.com/88Bo5BXLXl
— Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) December 17, 2024
McCormick is not expected to return this season which bolsters the incentive to target Abdullah from your waiver wires. Abdullah paced the restructured backfield with a 46.2% snap share following McCormick's departure. The 10-year veteran also led Raider backs in routes run (24), targets (seven), and receptions (seven), while also generating a season-high 58 receiving yards and producing his fourth receiving touchdown of the season.
Mattison operated with a 32.3% snap share, carried seven times, assembled 21 rushing yards (3.0 yards per attempt), and also lost a fumble during the contest. Mattison also ran 12 routes and collected two of his four targets, but only manufactured three receiving yards.
Touches will be distributed to both veterans due to McCormick’s absence. However, Abdullah’s emerges as the preferred waiver wire target due to his workload as a receiving weapon throughout the season (190 routes), (37 targets/2.6 per game), (32 receptions/2.3 per game), (192 receiving yards/13.0 per game)
Abdullah is available in 16% of all leagues, in advance of the Raiders’ Week 16-17 matchups with the Jaguars and Saints. His role as the backfield's primary pass-catcher provides the rationale for utilizing him as a flex if you are constructing rosters in PPR leagues.
Kenneth Gainwell, Philadelphia Eagles - 5% Rostered
Saquon Barkley departed Philadelphia’s Week 15 matchup with Pittsburgh after sustaining an undisclosed injury in the second quarter.
Barkley resurfaced in the second half. However, his absence provided a reminder that there is an incentive for securing Kenneth Gainwell, whose role as the Eagles’ RB2 makes him a valuable handcuff during your postseason matchups.
Gainwell has operated with a 24.9% snap share while accumulating 57 attempts (4.8 per game), and 265 rushing yards (22.1 per game) – including 15 carries inside the red zone.
Kenneth Gainwell shakes 'em!
📺: #PITvsPHI on FOX
📱: https://t.co/waVpO8ZBqG pic.twitter.com/suz65wqdEK— NFL (@NFL) December 15, 2024
That includes Gainwell’s numbers in Week 15, when he secured a 40.3% snap share, carried seven times, and assembled 20 rushing yards. Gainwell also ran 12 routes, collected all three of his targets, and accumulated a season-high 40 receiving yards.
Gainwell will ascend into an expanded workload if Barkley’s touches are reduced for any reason during the Eagles' upcoming contests. That makes Gainwell an effective insurance policy for anyone who relies on Barkley in their lineups.
He could also emerge as a valuable resource for anyone else if his role increases during Philadelphia’s Week 16-17 matchups with NFC East rivals Washington and Dallas.
Tier 2: In The Running - Week 16 Waiver Wire Running Backs
These Running Backs Could Become Assets For Your Rosters
| Tier 2 - In The Running | Team | Rostered |
| Tyler Allgeier | Atlanta Falcons | 30% |
| Blake Corum | Los Angeles Rams | 16% |
| Kimani Vidal | Los Angeles Chargers | 12% |
| Trey Benson | Arizona Cardinals | 21% |
| Cam Akers | Minnesota Vikings | 16% |
Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons - 30% Rostered
Tyler Allgeier remains entrenched among the elite tier of handcuffs due to his unquestioned role as the direct backup to Bijan Robinson in Atlanta’s backfield rotation. This sustains his ongoing proximity to an extensive workload if Robinson is suddenly unavailable.
Allgeier has operated with a 26.5% snap share since Week 1, although his shares have fluctuated. He has reached 35% in four different contests, while he has also failed to surpass 23% seven times. Allgeier has also accumulated 24 carries inside the red zone, including 13 attempts inside the 10-yard line. However, he is averaging 8.8 attempts per game amid fluctuating touch totals. Allgeier’s average of 42.4 yards per game also includes eight matchups in which he failed to exceed 36 yards.

📺: #DALvsATL on FOX
📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/EzXmFMCKcj— NFL (@NFL) November 3, 2024
These numbers should discourage you from deploying Allgeier in your lineups, as his erratic usage prevents him from maintaining standalone value. However, Allgeier’s value would ignite if Robinson is forced to the sideline during Atlanta’s upcoming matchups.
Allgeier will ascend into temporary lead-back duties for the Falcons if that scenario emerges and he remains capable of delivering RB1 output if he secures that critical role. This should incentivize you to add Allgeier in advance of the Falcons' matchups with the Giants and Commanders in Weeks 16 and 17.
Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams - 16% Rostered
Blake Corum has not attained standalone value while functioning in his current role as the Ram’s RB2. However, there is a sizable incentive for prioritizing him on this week’s waiver wire.
Corum remains cemented as the direct backup to Williams within the Rams’ backfield rotation. This provides the potential for Corum to secure a substantial workload if Williams is sidelined for any reason.
Still thinking about this nasty move Blake Corum put on an all-pro LB.
Ankles? They're mine. Gimme. pic.twitter.com/QTqbct6Jdv
— Sosa Kremenjas (@QBsMVP) December 9, 2024
Corum has operated with a 13.2% snap share since Week 5. He has also combined with Williams to garner 100% of the touches distributed to members of the Los Angeles backfield during that 10-game span.
Corum has accumulated 40 attempts (4.0 per game), and 159 rushing yards (15.9 per game during those contests, including the numbers he attained in Week 15 (nine snaps/three carries/five rushing yards. Williams accumulated 29 attempts/108 rushing yards and has now stockpiled 280 attempts (20 per game) and 1,121 rushing yards (80.1 per game) since Week 1.
That massive workload will be allocated to Corum if Williams is unable to perform in his usual capacity as the Rams’ workhorse back. Corum is capable of delivering high-end RB2 output if that scenario transpires when the Rams face the Jets and Cardinals in Weeks 16-17.
Kimani Vidal, Los Angeles Chargers - 12% Rostered
The combination of Gus Edwards’ inefficiency (3.4 yards per attempt), and his minimal involvement as a receiver (three targets) has created a runway for Kimani Vidal to lead the Los Angeles backfield in snaps during each of the Chargers’ last two contests.
Vidal played on 30 snaps (52.6% share) in Week 14. He has also accumulated eight carries, and generated 34 rushing yards (4.3 yards per attempt) during the Chargers’ matchup at Atlanta. Edwards operated with a 43.9% share, carried 10 times, and manufactured 36 rushing yards (3.6 yards per attempt).
Vidal easily paced the Los Angeles backfield with a 66.7% snap share in Week 15, as he accumulated a season-high 35. Vidal was limited to five touches/22 total yards despite the favorable snap count, Edwards only registered a 27.1% share, while accruing 23 rushing yards with his eight attempts. Vidal also led Edwards in routes run (16/2) in Week 15 and garnered the only three targets that were distributed to members of the backfield.
J.K. Dobbins could re-emerge from injured reserve (sprained MCL) in Week 17 although it is unclear whether that will occur. Vidal can be added as a prospective flex option, as his touch totals could rise when Los Angeles faces the Broncos and Patriots in Weeks 16-17.
Trey Benson, / DeeJay Dallas, Arizona Cardinals- (Benson 21% Rostered), (Dallas 0% Rostered)
This recommendation arrives with the caveat that Trey Benson‘s status should be monitored after he sustained an ankle injury in Week 15. If Benson can re-emerge in Week 16, he will provide you with an effective insurance policy during your remaining matchups.
There is also potential for his workload to increase during Arizona’s next two contests due to Emari Demercado's placement on injured reserve.
.@AZCardinals rookie RB Trey Benson takes the carry in for his first career NFL TD!
📺: #CHIvsAZ on CBS/Paramount+
📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/W9HRN9YnfN— NFL (@NFL) November 3, 2024
Benson’s role within the Cardinals backfield rotation has prevented him from achieving standalone value during his rookie season. Benson entered Week 15 with a 16.9% snap share, which trailed James Conner (64.6%), and second-year back Demercado (20.6%).
Demercado had also accumulated 40 touches/137 total yards from Weeks 1-14, but his absence has narrowed the distribution of touches to Conner and Benson, provided that Benson can return for the Cardinals' Week 16 visit to Carolina.
Conner led the reshaped backfield with a 71.9% snap share in Week 15, while Benson’s results were impacted by his departure. Benson registered a 15.6% snap share while accumulating five carries, and 22 rushing yards. He also ran four routes but was not targeted by Kyler Murray.
Demercado’s absence should propel Benson to a favorable touch total if he resurfaces in Week 16. Benson’s status as a handcuff will also be unchallenged if that occurs.
DeeJay Dallas would be the most likely candidate to operate as Conner’s direct backup if Benson is unavailable. That role will gain significance if Conner is sidelined at any point during Arizona’s next two matchups with the Panthers and Rams.
Cam Akers, Minnesota Vikings - 16% Rostered
The resurgence of Cam Akers during his tenure with the Vikings has re-established his relevance while cementing his place among the handcuffs to target for your postseason rosters.
Akers was traded from Houston to Minnesota on October 15, which infused him into the Vikings backfield equation. Akers catapulted Ty Chandler on the team’s depth chart following his arrival and has operated as Minnesota’s RB2 behind Aaron Jones.
.@thereal_cam3 WILL NOT BE DENIED!!
📺: @ABC pic.twitter.com/OZoBNNTXOo
— Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) December 17, 2024
Akers has attained a 28.7% snap share since Week 10. He has also carried 45 times (7.5 per game), assembled 165 rushing yards (27.5 per game), and accrued five attempts inside the red zone. That includes Akers’ numbers in Week 15, when Akers played on 21 snaps, carried 10 times, assembled 24 rushing yards, and produced his third rushing touchdown.
Chandler has played on just five snaps since Week 11 while being limited to three touches and six total yards. Akers would confiscate a larger percentage of touches than Chandler if Jones is sidelined or operates with a managed workload during Minnesota’s next two matchups against the Seahawks and Packers. Akers will also emerge as an asset during those contests if that occurs.
Tier 3: Dark Horses - Week 16 Waiver Wire Running Backs
These Running Backs Could Emerge In Your Lineups
Ray Davis, Buffalo Bills - 19% Rostered
| Tier 3- Dark Horses | Team | Rostered |
| Ray Davis | Buffalo Bills | 19% |
| Justice Hill | Baltimore Ravens | 11% |
| Isaiah Davis | New York Jets | 18% |
| Braelon Allen | New York Jets | 49% |
| Antonio Gibson | New England Patriots | 11% |
Ray Davis remains embedded within a grouping of backs that do not provide standalone value but have proven their ability to excel when they have an opportunity to function with an extensive workload.
Davis has registered a 22.3% snap share since Week 1 and has only exceeded a 33% share once throughout the season. However, that transpired in Week 6, when James Cook was inactive due to a troublesome toe. Davis was utilized as a workhorse during Cook’s absence while attaining a season-best 60% snap share. He also rose to third among all backs in attempts (20), and eighth in rushing yards (97).
WHAT A RUN FOR RAY DAVIS 🔥
63 yards for the Buffalo lead 😮💨

— ESPN (@espn) November 3, 2024
Davis also averaged 4.9 yards per attempt, tied for second in red zone carries (six), finished fifth in yards after contact (62), and tied for 13th in scoring (18.2).
He also led the reshaped Bills backfield in routes run (14), targets (three), and receiving yards (55). Davis also erupted for a season-best 70 receiving yards in Week 9.
Davis attained a 25% snap share while accumulating nine touches/29 total yards in Week 15. Ty Johnson secured a 29.4% snap share and assembled a career-high 114 receiving yards. However, Johnson's prowess as a pass-catcher does not threaten Davis's status as the preferred handcuff to Cook.
His capabilities as a three-down back will propel him into a massive workload if Cook is sidelined during Buffalo’s Week 16-17 matchups with the Patriots and Jets.
Justice Hill, Baltimore Ravens - 17% Rostered
Justice Hill resumed his role as the primary receiving weapon in Baltimore’s backfield during the Ravens’ Week 15 matchup with the Giants. Hill ran 18 routes and collected all five of his targets from Lamar Jackson. Hill also assembled a season-best 61 receiving yards during the contest while generating his third receiving touchdown of the season.

Tune in on CBS and @paramountplus. pic.twitter.com/Y0L2ko0baj
— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) December 15, 2024
Hill’s numbers kept him firmly placed among the top ten at his position in targets (50/3.6 per game)), receptions (42/3.0 per game)), and receiving yards (383/27.4 per game) since Week 1.
Hill also accumulated two carries and seven rushing yards in Week 15, as he combined with Derrick Henry to capture 100% of the touches that were allocated to the Ravens’ backfield. This continued an ongoing process that has transpired throughout the season. That underscores Hill’s status as an effective handcuff to Henry.
Hill’s sustained pass-catching role also justifies utilizing him as a flex if you participate in PPR leagues. He would also function with an expanded workload if Henry were sidelined at any point during the Ravens’ next two matchups with the Steelers, and Texans. Those factors have elevated him into Tier 3 of this week’s recommendations.
Isaiah Davis, New York Jets - 18% Rostered
Isaiah Davis operates with a favorable blend of size and physicality. He has also maximized his opportunities since ascending into an expanded role in Week 13.

— Dakota News Now Sports (@dakotasportsnow) December 8, 2024
Those factors have fueled Davis’s rise into the Jets’ backfield rotation, although his usage and production have remained constrained as he shares touches with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.
However, Allen sustained a back injury in Week 15. His status should be monitored, but any absence by Allen during New York's remaining contests would propel Davis into a larger workload. The Jets could also decide to curtail Hall's involvement as the team advances toward the completion of a highly disappointing season.
Hall reclaimed his role as the Jets’ lead-back when New York visited the Jaguars in Week 15. Davis still attained a 39.6% snap share and assembled 24 rushing yards on five attempts. Davis also ran 16 routes, which nearly matched the total that was attained by Hall (17).
Davis has now assembled 68 rushing yards (22.7 per game) on 16 attempts (5.3 per game) since Week 13. He has also secured involvement as a receiving weapon while running 45 routes, capturing seven of his 10 targets, and generating 57 yards.
Davis would elevate into an unchallenged RB2 role if Allen is sidelined in Week 16. He could also vault into a sizable workload if Hall is unavailable during New York’s next two matchups (Rams/Bills).
Braelon Allen, New York Jets - 49% Rostered
Braelon Allen joins teammate Isaiah Davis in Tier 3 of this week’s recommendations even though updates surrounding his aforementioned back issue should be monitored.
TD for rookie @BraelonAllen!! 💨💨💨
📺 #NYJvsTEN on CBS & @paramountplus pic.twitter.com/A7Y4rgCdnL
— New York Jets (@nyjets) September 15, 2024
Allen's role as the Jets’ RB2 had launched him among the most intriguing handcuffs throughout most of the regular season, as he was seemingly positioned to become a highly productive resource if Breece Hall would be forced to the sideline.
That situation developed when Hall was inactive in Week 14 (knee). However, Allen’s numbers failed to reach expectations (11 carries/43 rushing yards) due to the involvement of Davis, which resulted in a 50/50 split between both talented rookies.
The re-emergence of Hall in Week 15 and Allen's injury contributed to his limited numbers when New York traveled to Jacksonville. Allen registered an 18.9% snap share, carried twice, and assembled five rushing yards.
The Jets’ overcrowded backfield has repositioned Allen’s outlook, but he should still be rostered. Allen will regain a role in the backfield rotation if he is unencumbered by injury. His workload will also expand if Hall is sidelined or functions with a restricted touch total in Weeks 16-17 when the Jets face the Rams and Bills.
Antonio Gibson, New England Patriots - 11% Rostered
Antonio Gibson is contained among this week’s Tier 3 recommendations primarily due to his role as the RB2 in New England’s offense. Rhamondre Stevenson continues to operate as New England's feature back. He has secured a 64.7% snap share since Week 1 while surpassing a 70% share during seven different matchups.
However, Gibson’s current placement directly below Stevenson on the Patriots’ depth chart supplies an uncontested path to a sizable role if Stevenson is unable to sustain his usual workload during New England's remaining games.
Gibson has attained a 32.8% snap share during New England’s last three matchups, which includes the 43% share that he garnered in Week 12. He has also accumulated 20 attempts (6.7 per game), and 126 rushing yards (42 per game), during that sequence.

📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/8oun8D8YNJ— NFL (@NFL) December 15, 2024
Those results were fueled by Gibson’s numbers in Week 13 when he assembled 62 yards on seven carries while averaging a season-high 8.9 yards per attempt.
Gibson also registered a 30.6% snap share and accumulated seven attempts/33 rushing yards when the Patriots traveled to Arizona in Week 15.
Gibson is available in 89% of all leagues and would become a viable RB3/flex if Stevenson is unavailable during New England’s next two contests (Bills/Chargers).
