5. Travis Homer

Due to all of the injuries at the running back position, the Seahawks were forced to rely on rookie Travis Homer even more during last weekend’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Since Homer was already part of a crowded backfield, the Miami product hasn’t exactly seen as much action throughout his rookie campaign, but also this could make the young running back even more dangerous in the playoffs.

Since Homer is one of those players in which Philadelphia doesn’t have as much game film on, this could be one of the situations where the defense doesn’t really know what to expect.

Convincing Marshawn Lynch to come out of retirement seemed like a no brainer for the Seahawks, but no one should be surprised if Homer ends up with the most carries for Seattle’s on offense.

After watching Homer see a season high of 10 carries for 62 yards during last weekend’s loss to the 49ers, this is just one of numerous reasons as to why the Eagles need to be extra cautious about the rookie running back.

Otherwise, Homer will make Philadelphia pay for it on the defensive side of the football, and make it more difficult for the Eagles to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
