Running backs: the playoff slate

Weeks 15–17, 2024 last season's final profiles, while this season has fewer than three games

RB WR TE

Each offense's three opponents in weeks 15 to 17 and the mean of what those defenses have allowed a game to running backs this season, the softest slate first. What a defense has allowed is history, and our own check found it tracks the next game only faintly: read it as the matchup a player walks into, not as what he will do in it.
