Kiner is rising in prominence in the Patriots backfield, turning 17 carries the last two weeks into 109 rushing yards; he seems like Vrabel's kind of RB as a between-the-tackles battering ram, though he lacks top-end speed or pass-catching skills to be a true No. 1.NegativeUsageOct 21, 2026
Ranked 48th among running backs. Kiner was the closer for the Pats, with most of his 11 carries and 57 yards coming on the final drive when the Pats were trying to go ahead by two scores.

Kiner took 11 carries for 57 yards all over the final 17 minutes of game time, playing 52% of snaps in that stretch. While his involvement is inconsistent (he got fourth-quarter work the week before in a blowout after fumbling), he got more work this week while the outcome was still uncertain, suggesting his role may be expanding.NegativeRoleOct 14, 2026
Kiner made a poor early impression by losing a fumble, but he rebounded to net 52 yards on six carries. He's Rhamondre Stevenson's backup now that TreVeyon Henderson is out with a high-ankle sprain.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
