Through Week 6 of the 2022 season, D’Onta Foreman had compiled just 37 rush yards while backing up Christian McCaffrey in Carolina. But after McCaffrey was traded to San Francisco, Foreman stepped up with a couple of 100-yard games, and I saw the potential for him to really take off. So I named him one of four backs primed for second-half breakouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Foreman made me look good, rumbling for 130 yards on the day that article was posted and compiling 618 rush yards over his final eight games of the season, eventually earning a contract with the Bears.<\/p>\n

Who will follow Foreman’s trajectory in 2023? Several running backs seem poised for greater production as we head into the second half of 2023. Here are four players I expect to run wild over the next couple months:<\/p>\n

If and when the Bills get Fournette up to speed after signing him to the practice squad last week, he could steal some of the carries away from second-year back James Cook and<\/em> snipe goal-line and short-yardage opportunities from Latavius Murray. It appears the Bills still don\u2019t want to run the ball to take some of the offensive load off Josh Allen\u2019s plate, as they rank 18th in the league in rushing attempts per game. Cook has playmaking ability, but his carries have decreased from 14 carries per game in Weeks 1-4 (when the Bills went 3-1) to 10.4 attempts per game in the last five weeks (when the Bills went 2-3). Fournette has experience and is the kind of bruiser suited for wearing down defenses in snowy Buffalo.<\/p>\n
