Some
NFL teams are starting to play their way out of playoff contention
after ten weeks of the NFL season, which generally leads to more playing
time for rookies as front offices look towards building their roster
for next season. This week, a few first-round picks showed up with solid
games after quiet seasons to this point, while some late-rounders and
undrafted free agents have taken advantage of injuries to show they have
NFL skills as they fight to remain in the league. Chris Tripodi will
reveal the rookies who caught his eye in Week 10’s Rookie Report.

With Daryl Richardson, Isaiah Pead and Zac Stacy ahead of him on the

With Richardson ineffective all year and Pead in the doghouse, Stacy
took over the lead back role a few weeks into the season and Cunningham
