2025 NFC West RB duo rankings

Yahoo13 hours ago
It is the time of the offseason, as we have done for years here on Cards Wire, where we go through each position and rank players and position groups in the NFC West. We continue by looking at the top running back duos for the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
Not much has changed since last season. The only difference from the start of last season is that the 49ers now have Isaac Guerendo as the primary backup running back instead of Elijah Mitchell or Jordan Mason.

NFL RB duo rankings: NFC West
1. 49ers: Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo
Based on our starting running back and backup running back rankings, this makes sense. McCaffrey is the top starting back in the division, assuming he has recovered fully from last season's injuries. Guerendo is the top backup, too. With the top starter and top backup, combined with probably the best running scheme in the league, this makes sense.
2. Cardinals: James Conner, Trey Benson
Conner was third in the starting RB rankings we did behind the Rams' Kyren Williams, but it wasn't by much. He is been a more dynamic and efficient runner than Williams but not as productive. Benson is No. 3 in backups but has starter potential and his production late in the season gives the Cardinals a pairing very similar to the Niners.

3. Seahawks: Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet
Walker was the lowest-ranked starter but Charbonnet was No. 2 as a backup. Both are productive in the run game and passing game.
4. Rams: Kyren Williams, Blake Corum
Williams had nearly 1,300 yards and rushed for 14 scores but Corum had the lowest rushing production and per-carry average of all the backups. The Rams' rushing attack was more workhorse than explosive.

NASCAR's first in-season tournament adds some drama to the Cup Series finish in Chicago

CHICAGO — NASCAR's first in-season tournament hasn't made much of an impression on its drivers so far. Ty Gibbs said Sunday he didn't know who his second-round opponent was until after the Cup Series race. That might be about to change. Gibbs is one of eight drivers still in the mix for the $1 million prize that goes to the winner of the five-race, bracket-style competition. While Shane van Gisbergen was closing out his Cup victory in Chicago this weekend, some of the most compelling action on the downtown street course was at least connected to the inaugural In-Season Challenge .

Dick Vitale gives encouraging health update, says his vocal chords are still cancer-free after latest exam

Legendary college-basketball announcer Dick Vitale is feeling great after his latest medical exam. Vitale announced Monday that the latest examination of his vocal chords came back cancer-free. Vitale, 86, made the announcement on X, saying he once again was deemed cancer-free by his doctor. That's a significant update from Vitale, who has dealt with multiple forms of cancer over the past couple years. In 2021, he announced he was cancer-free after being diagnosed with melanoma earlier that year. Advertisement That October, Vitale was diagnosed with lymphoma. A little under a year later, he announced he was cancer-free. In 2023, Vitale revealed he was diagnosed with vocal chord cancer, and in 2024, he announced he was dealing with lymph node cancer. After taking nearly two years away from broadcasting, Vitale announced he was once again cancer-free in January. A month later, he returned to broadcasting, and got emotional when talking about how much it meant for him to be back calling games. During his final broadcast in March, Vitale again got emotional, saying he hoped to return to calling games next season. A few months later, he signed an extension to keep him at ESPN through the 2027-28 season. Monday's news provides yet another positive update for Vitale, who will look to continue to be one of college basketball's biggest voices when he returns to the broadcast booth next year.
