  • Andrew Beck RB | NYJ

    Jets' Andrew Beck: Catches two touchdowns in 2025

    Beck caught six of nine targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for five yards over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    The 29-year-old from Texas tied his career high in touchdown receptions during his first season with the Jets, finishing tied for the second most on the team. Beck also played a significant role on special teams, logging 315 snaps and recording eight total tackles. After signing a one-year, $1.34 million deal with the Jets last offseason, he's now set to hit unrestricted free agency. Beck likely will land with a team in need of blocking help and special-teams depth ahead of the 2026 season.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Season cut short by foot injury

    Dobbins (foot) ended the 2025 campaign with 153 carries for 772 yards and four touchdowns, adding 11 receptions (on 14 targets) for 37 yards across 10 regular-season games.

    Dobbins ended up leading the Broncos in rushing yards despite missing the final seven games of the regular season. The 27-year-old running back had a strong start to his sixth season, as he handled the majority of touches out of the backfield ahead of rookie RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin. A foot injury suffered Week 10 required surgery, forcing him to miss the remainder of the campaign. Though Dobbins proved to be a good signing when he was on the field, his issues with durability remain a concern. The veteran resumed practicing in a limited fashion ahead of Denver's AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots, but he was ultimately not quite ready to play. It appears he's on the right track in his recovery, boding well for his ability to be ready for next season. However, where he'll be playing remains a mystery, as Dobbins will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after signing a one-year deal with the Broncos last June. If the Ohio State product returns to Denver, he'd likely split time with Harvey, whose development after Dobbins went down should earn him consistent playing time in his sophomore season. When he's healthy, Dobbins figures to draw attention from several running back-needy teams around the league.

  • Patriots' Elijah Mitchell: Signs with New England

    The Patriots signed Mitchell to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

    Mitchell spent time on the team's practice squad late last season but didn't appear in any games and was ultimately released in January. The 27-year-old also appeared in one game with the Chiefs during the 2025 campaign, playing seven offensive snaps and failing to haul in his lone target.

  • Cam Akers RB | SEA

    Cam Akers: Reverts to practice squad

    Akers reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Akers was elevated to the active roster for the Super Bowl but ended up playing just four snaps, all of which came on special teams. The 26-year-old spent time with both the Vikings and Seahawks during the 2025 campaign, appearing in six regular-season games and rushing for 19 yards on five carries.

  • Velus Jones: Returns to practice squad

    Jones reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    The 28-year-old was elevated to the active roster ahead of the Super Bowl and played 23 snaps on special teams, downing a Michael Dickson punt on New England's two-yard line. Jones appeared in three regular-season games with the Seahawks during the 2025 season and rushed for 32 yards on four carries.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Reverts to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson didn't see any playing time on offense during the Super Bowl but did return four kickoffs for 103 yards. The 29-year-old finished the 2025 campaign with 25 rushing yards on 13 attempts across seven regular-season games with the Patriots.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Three touches in Super Bowl

    Holani rushed twice for six yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 29-13 Super Bowl win over the Patriots.

    As expected, Kenneth Walker dominated the backfield, racking up 161 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches, but Holani was effective in his limited action. The second-year back out of Boise State finished the season with 27 carries for 83 yards (3.1 YPC) and a touchdown and six receptions for 49 yards through 13 games, including the postseason. With Rashid Shaheed on board, Holani's return duties evaporated in the second half, so he'll likely need to battle for a roster spot in 2026 regardless of the status of Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL).

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Mixes in with Stevenson

    Henderson rushed the ball six times for 19 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. He added three receptions (on three targets) for 26 yards.

    Henderson's overall struggles to rush efficiently in the postseason continued in the Super Bowl, though the New England offense was stalled for much of the game. His overall production also was inflated by a 24-yard catch and run during the game's final plays. However, he had a fairly even split with Rhamondre Stevenson in terms of touches, and the former did manage long runs of nine and seven yards. Henderson is likely to begin the 2026 season on the smaller end of a backfield split in New England, though he showcased his ability to produce plenty on limited touches throughout his rookie season thanks to his big-play ability -- something that is likely to continue in his sophomore campaign.

  • Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Catches late TD in Super Bowl 60

    Stevenson rushed the ball seven times for 23 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. He added five receptions (on five targets) for 40 yards and a touchdown.

    Stevenson began the game as a key part of New England's game plan, though the team's inability to maintain drives limited his impact. All seven of his carries came in the first half, and the majority of his production as a pass catcher came with the Patriots down by multiple scores. The highlights of Stevenson's performance were a long reception of 13 yards and a seven-yard touchdown grab just before the two-minute warning. Stevenson fended off TreVeyon Henderson as the lead back in 2025, though Stevenson may lose a bit more of his volume, as the duo projects to split the Patriots backfield again in 2026.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: MVP effort in SB LX win

    Walker rushed 27 times for 135 yards and brought in two of four targets for 26 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.

    Walker and the rest of the Seahawks offense started the game off in relative modest fashion, but the star running back ignited his night in earnest when he ripped off 30- and 29-yard runs during Seattle's first possession of the second quarter. He would subsequently find fairly consistent running room against a typically stingy Patriots front seven, recording another four runs of seven or more yards. Walker also had a 49-yard touchdown run just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter that was nullified by an offensive holding penalty, but he handled his workhorse role, which also saw him record a 20-yard reception, with aplomb. His exploits earned him the Super Bowl MVP and capped off an impressive three-game postseason run, one that saw him also record a 116-yard, three-touchdown effort in the divisional-round win over the 49ers and supplement his production on the ground with 104 receiving yards on nine receptions over the trio of contests.
