- Sione Vaki sees three touches in Week 1

What the analysts are saying
“Vaki was an afterthought out of the backfield, being out-carried by Jahmyr Gibbs 29-2 in the win. The running back remains little more than an underwhelming handcuff to Gibbs ahead of a Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills.”
