Antonio

Williams

Williams had just two snaps on offense this season and hadn’t touched the ball since the 2020 finale, where he rushed for two touchdowns. Williams had played 44 snaps for the Giants on special teams this year and could find work elsewhere. His release doesn’t change much about the state of the depth chart.

Breida emerged as an undrafted free agent in 2017 with the 49ers. He went on average 5.0 yards per carry across three seasons with the 49ers. Injuries limited his availability however, and he was shipped to the Dolphins for a 5th round pick in 2020. Breida quickly fell to the back of the Miami RB rotation, and managed just 68 touches for the season. With RB Antonio Williams showing well in Week 17 last year, Breida will likely need to earn his way onto the roster through special teams.

There was a chance Williams was active in place of Zack Moss, but that role will instead fall to T.J. Yeldon behind Devin Singletary. The latter is expected to handle the lion’s share of however many touches OC Brian Daboll designates to his backfield.

Yes, this might be the most random name in Week 17 to play meaningful snaps and produce at a high level. The practice squad-er entered in the second half and diced up the Dolphins defense, allowing the Bills to keep starters on the sideline. He’s unlikely to see the field in the playoffs unless Zack Moss or Devin Singletary go down.
