Smith signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Smith appeared in seven regular-season games for the Eagles as a rookie, but the 2024 fifth-round draft pick was waived prior to the 2025 season and subsequently signed with Carolina's practice squad, where he spent the entire 2025 campaign. He will likely get a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Panthers in training camp in 2026.

Johnston secured three of six targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round.

Johnston finished second on the Chargers in terms of targets behind Keenan Allen (eight), but like the rest of Los Angeles' pass-catching offense which Ladd McConkey led with just 32 receiving yards, he was inefficient versus New England's defense. Still, during the regular season, Johnston demonstrated improved chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert, as the 2023 first-round pick managed a respectable 51-735-8 line on 84 targets across 14 regular-season appearances. Johnston also was hampered by shin, hamstring, groin and shoulder injuries during the second half of the campaign. He'll look to take another step forward in 2026, which is currently positioned as the final year of his rookie deal with the Chargers, though the team could exercise his fifth-year option this offseason.

Reed signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Reed spent his rookie 2025 season on Carolina's practice squad. The wide receiver out of San Diego has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut.

Chisena signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Chisena spent most of the 2026 season on Carolina's practice squad but was elevated for one game during the 2025 regular season. He has 38 regular-season appearances but just three catches in his NFL career. Chisena will likely get a chance to compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars.

Shavers returned to the game after having a knee injury checked out by trainers, but his only catch of the game came prior to his exit. The 26-year-old wide receiver has appeared in every game for the Bills since the start of the regular season. Barring a setback with his knee, Shavers will be available to fill his usual depth role on offense in the AFC divisional round Saturday at Denver, and he may be counted on even more than usual if teammate Gabe Davis can't recover from the knee injury he suffered Sunday.

Wallace had four catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on eight targets over 14 games in the 2025 regular season.

Wallace was coming off his best season in 2024 when he caught 11 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. His usage and efficiency tailed off this year, and he was a healthy scratch in two of Baltimore's final three games. Wallace's special-teams chops had been his biggest asset through his first four seasons in Baltimore, but his role diminished on that front as well. He will hit free agency this offseason and will turn 27 in May. Wallace never truly hit his stride as a receiver in Baltimore but he was an accomplished wideout in college who racked up 205 catches for 3,434 yards and 26 touchdowns at Oklahoma State.

Walker had six catches for 136 yards and three touchdowns on eight targets across 12 regular-season games in 2025.

Walker has a unique stat line through his first two seasons. He's had seven catches on 11 career targets, but those grabs have gone for 157 yards and three touchdowns. Five of his seven catches have gone for over 20 yards. Dating back to his rookie season, Walker's first three catches all went for touchdowns. While that efficiency is promising, it's difficult to take much away from seven catches in two seasons. Walker might still be a worthwhile target in deeper dynasty formats. DeAndre Hopkins was on a one-year deal in Baltimore this past season, and two pass-catching tight ends, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, are hitting free agency. Additionally, Baltimore will be installing a new coaching staff and offense in 2026. Walker may never be a high-target type of receiver, but there's a chance that he works his way into a significant snap share in three-wide sets in Baltimore, depending on how the offseason unfolds.

Douglas caught one of his two targets for three yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.

Douglas recorded a 33 percent snap share in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and once again saw a modest target share in an offense that tends to spread the ball around. The slot man carries modest fantasy upside as the Patriots divisional-round game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend approaches.

Williams caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.

Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the 2025 third-rounder was tied for the third-highest workload with DeMario Douglas (21 of 64 snaps) in a New England WR corps led by Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. As the Patriots' divisional-round game against either the Texans or Steelers approaches, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option due to his lack of consistent volume in his team's passing offense.

Davis (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to diagnose the nature and severity of the injury that forced him out of Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Bills had difficulty providing an initial diagnosis for Davis' injury Sunday due to the amount of swelling in his left knee. The veteran wide receiver had to be carted off the field in the second half. In the event that Davis is ruled out for Buffalo's upcoming divisional-round matchup against Denver on Saturday, Jan. 17, Tyrell Shavers and Keon Coleman could be positioned for expanded roles on offense.
