  • John Jiles WR | NE

    Patriots' John Jiles: Staying in New England

    Jiles signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Tuesday.

    The West Florida product spent his 2025 campaign with the Patriots' practice squad and could have an opportunity to compete for a spot on the active roster in camp. Jiles has yet to appear in an NFL game after recording 1,081 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 54 catches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Played through hand injury

    Bobo had a pin inserted into his hand to repair a metacarpal fracture the day after Seattle's 31-27 NFC Championship win over the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    The wideout told reporters that he had his stitches removed just one day before the Seahawks' 29-13 Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots. Despite the injury, Bobo played 35 snaps during Sunday's victory and excelled as a blocker, helping Seattle rush for 141 yards. The 27-year-old appeared in 14 regular-season games and caught four of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. Bobo is set to hit restricted free agency this offseason, and the Seahawks will have the opportunity to match any offer he receives once they have given him a tender.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Bright spot in SB LX loss

    Hollins recorded four receptions (on eight targets) for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

    Hollins led the Patriots in targets and receiving yards, with the majority of his production coming on consecutive catches early in the fourth quarter. The first went for 24 yards over a crowded middle of the field, and Hollins then beat a couple of Seattle defenders to the corner of the end zone for a 35-yard score. Hollins remains under contract for 2026 and could be back with New England, though the team could also opt to cut and save roughly $4.5 million on the salary cap.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Pair of grabs in SB LX victory

    Shaheed brought in two of five targets for 27 yards, rushed once for minus-5 yards, returned one kickoff for 20 yards and ran back two punts for 16 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.

    The speedy Shaheed played his usual multi-faceted role, and he was just inches shy of a much bigger night, as Christian Gonzalez managed to knock away a deep pass intended for him down the middle early in the second quarter. Shaheed did manage to contribute gains of 16 and 11 yards on the two catches he recorded, and he made solid complementary contributions on special teams. The fourth-year pro played a relatively modest role in Seattle's air attack after coming over via trade from the Saints midway through the campaign, and it remains to be seen if the Seahawks will be interested in a reunion with the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Held to three catches in Super Bowl

    Diggs recorded three catches (on three targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

    The Patriots couldn't sustain offense for the majority of the game and were playing with desperation by the time they were able to move the ball down the field late in the fourth quarter. That led to a very quiet game for Diggs, particularly considering that 26 of his 37 yards came on a reception with 2:58 remaining in the fourth quarter and with the Patriots down three scores. Though Diggs failed to surpass 40 receiving yards in any of New England's postseason games, he still managed 1,013 yards across 17 regular-season contests and remains a solid possession receiver. He is under contract with New England and very likely to be one of Drake Maye's top targets once again in 2026.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Paces pass catchers in SB LX win

    Kupp brought in six of 12 targets for 61 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.

    Kupp was the surprise leader for the Seahawks in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with his totals in both the first and third category also serving as game-high figures. The veteran wideout saw an elevated role partly due to the heavy defensive attention Jaxon Smith-Njigba received from Patriots shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez as well as the fact Smith-Njigba exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. Kupp ultimately played a key part in securing his second career Super Bowl win, and he's likely to continue in a complementary role in 2026 as he enters the second year of his three-year deal with Seattle.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Modest numbers in SB win

    Smith-Njigba brought in four of 10 targets for 27 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.

    The star receiver couldn't put together anything resembling the typical caliber of performance that earned him the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award earlier in the week, as Christian Gonzalez's blanket coverage freqently served to short-circuit the often prolific Sam Darnold-Smith-Njigba connection. Smith-Njigba also exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he was able to return shortly thereafter. He did have a couple of particularly close calls that could have made his night much different, as Gonzalez made an excellent diving breakup of a would-be touchdown pass to the talented wideout, and Darnold also missed him running free deep late in the first quarter. Despite the quiet finish to the Super Bowl run, Smith-Njigba will head into the 2026 season as an upper-echelon fantasy asset that will be snapped up in the very early stages of the first round of drafts next summer.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Clears concussion evaluation

    Smith-Njigba (head) returned in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Smith-Njigba was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he was cleared to return and was back on the field for the Seahawks early in the fourth quarter. He caught three passes (on nine targets) for 24 yards prior to his exit.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Possible concussion

    Smith-Njigba is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday.

    Smith-Njigba was evaluated by medical staff after his helmet bounced off the turf, and he's gone to the locker room to undergo further testing to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, AJ Barner and Kenneth Walker will step into larger roles in the passing game for as long as Smith-Njigba is out of the game.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Underwhelming season in 2025

    Humphrey ended the 2025 regular season with 13 receptions on 25 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown across 10 regular-season games.

    Humphrey began the 2025 campaign with the Giants, recording four receptions for 55 yards over three games. The Broncos signed the veteran wideout away from New York's practice squad ahead of Denver's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. He rejoined the Broncos, having spent the previous two seasons in Denver. Humphrey provided depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he'll perhaps be signed by a team looking for help in its wide receiver room ahead of the 2026 campaign. It's possible, however, that Humphrey will re-sign with the Broncos based on his familiarity with head coach Sean Payton's system.
