Running Back
Chris Evans — All four team’s on the Friday slate project to use five running backs. However, Cincinnati could play with a narrower distribution of touches. In their first game, Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine only received four snaps each. This allowed Evans to out-snap Jacques Patrick 33 to 30. Notably, Pooka Williams did not play, but he projects to do so here. Either way, the Bengals spent a day three pick on Evans. Evans is a 5-foot-11, 211-pound running back, who played his college ball at Michigan. Evans’ best season came in 2017, when he rushed for 685 yards on 135 carries. He also had 49 career receptions with the Wolverines.
Jaret Patterson — Washington trimmed the roster fat by cutting Lamar Miller this week. Now carrying five backs, the Football team projects to split work between Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber early in the game. Making a case to beat out Barber, rookie Patterson carried ten times for 40 yards in Week 1. He also added four receptions for another 30 yards. Patterson played his college ball at Buffalo and stands just 5-foot-6, 195 pounds. However, He already out-snapped Jonathan Williams 27 to 9 in their first game. He should receive ample opportunities again here.
Jerick McKinnon — Unlike the teams listed above, Kansas City will actually use all five backs on their roster. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams played 10 and seven snaps respectively in Week 1. This number should only rise. However, Kansas City continues to hold a competition for the third running back spot between McKinnon and Darwin Thompson. In Week 1, McKinnon played 15 snaps to Thompson’s 13. McKinnon has played better in camp so far and rushed for 19 yards on three carries in Week 1. He also received three targets. However, Thompson received four carries and one target himself, making this a tough evaluation overall. McKinnon gets a narrow edge based on positive camp reports.
