Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott turned in another quality performance on Saturday against New England, accumulating 44 receiving yards on three catches to go with 28 yards on 10 carries. While the former undrafted rookie didn't find much room on the ground, he once again proved dangerous with the ball in his hands as a pass catcher. After an uninspiring day from incumbent RB3 Ty Chandler, Scott looks to be making a serious case to be the third option out of the Minnesota backfield.

Minnesota Vikings running back Zavier Scott finished with 40 yards on seven attempts to lead the team in rushing, and added one catch for 11 yards in a 20-10 victory against Houston on Saturday. The former Maine standout who went undrafted in 2023 has an uphill climb to make the 53-man roster, but certainly made use of his touches Saturday. Minnesota will roll with running backs Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason as their top two options, still carry a fullback in C.J. Ham., and previously have used Ty Chandler as a kick returner. But with Chandler failing to inspire as a runner Saturday, Scott is at least making a case to stick around.

Indianapolis Colts running back Zavier Scott rushed the ball 11 times for 55 and a touchdown in the team's win against the Cardinals on Saturday. Scott led all running backs in carries and yards as Indy mixed in four different backs for the game. The former Maine Black Bear spent last season primarily on the Colts' practice squad and will continue to fight for a spot on the 53-man roster this season. Scott has one more chance to solidify himself when the Colts face off against the Bengals for their final preseason game on Thursday.
