Last night, Atlanta Falcons running back Godwin Igwebuike had an impressive performance against the Dolphin's defense, making a solid case for being included in the roster. He carried the ball 13 times and ran for 70 yards, scoring an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter. In contrast, Carlos Washington Jr., listed as the fourth running back in the depth chart, only managed to run for 27 yards on 12 carries. Igwebuike was the more efficient runner, averaging 5.38 yards per carry (YPC), while Washington Jr. only managed 2.25 YPC. Seeing how this competition unfolds in the upcoming pre-season games will be interesting.

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated running backs Godwin Igwebuike and Wayne Gallman to their active roster ahead of a Week 16 bout with the Kansas City Chiefs. Igwebuike has been utilized on special teams as a kick returner over the past two weeks and will likely be used in the same role on Saturday. Gallman, on the other hand, could have an opportunity to see some offensive snaps with Kenneth Walker III (ankle, back) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) both questionable to suit up. Although it has been reported that both backs are on track to play, this transaction makes the situation a bit more unclear. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for any updates regarding the availability of Walker and Dallas, but neither Igwebuike nor Gallman should impact any lineup decisions.
