"Giddens was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of April's draft. He has a solid frame and showed well at the combine, with a 4.43 40, 39.5-inch vertical (second best among RBs) and 130-inch broad (second best). He was solid efficiency-wise as a collegiate rusher but struggled with drops and may cap out as an early-down option. He'll battle Tyler Goodson for primary backup duties behind feature back Jonathan Taylor and, thus, has some late-round insurance appeal."

"Giddens will be in street clothes for the second straight game while the Colts go with Tyler Goodson and Ameer Abdullah as their backup options behind starting running back Jonathan Taylor. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Kansas State had suited up in each of Indianapolis' first eight games, carrying 18 times for 66 yards (3.7 average) while failing to record any receptions on two targets."

"Ward was selected by Tennessee with the No. 1 pick in April's draft. Ward tossed a class-high 39 TDs and his 88.7 QBR trailed only Will Howard last season -- his lone year at Miami. He didn't run a ton, but was effective when he did (class-best 9.1 YPC and a ridiculous 79% of his 38 carries went for 5-plus yards). Ward is all but a lock to start in Week 1, and his supporting cast is serviceable, but there will be bumps along the way. So, unless he runs more than expected, he's unlikely to be more than an occasional streamer as a rookie. Consider him only as a late-round flier."

"Ward ended up starting all 17 games during his rookie season for the Titans, but after taking every snap through the first 16 contests, an injury to his throwing shoulder forced him out of Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars following Tennessee's opening drive. The Titans were initially fearful that Ward had suffered a significant injury that might need surgery, but the young signal-caller appears to have received a more favorable prognosis than expected after being sent in for tests. The Titans haven't offered a timeline for when Ward will be fully recovered from the shoulder injury, however, so his availability for the start of the team's offseason program could be affected. Ward wrapped up his 2025 campaign with 323 completions on 540 attempts (59.8 percent) for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 159 yards and two scores on 39 carries. He was particularly effective following the Titans' Week 10 bye, raising his completion rate to 62.4 percent while accounting for 12 touchdowns (10 passing, two rushing) and committing just three turnovers (one interception, two lost fumbles) over the final eight games."

"Parkinson remained productive even though Tyler Higbee returned from a six-game absence Sunday, finding the end zone in both the third and fourth quarters. The tight end finished behind Higbee (91) in receiving yards, but he did garner one more target and reach paydirt once more than his teammate. Parkinson completed the regular season having caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns over 15 contests, and he'll look to build off of his recent momentum when the Rams travel to take on the Panthers in the wild-card round Saturday."
