Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Impresses with limited opportunites
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.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: One catch Sunday
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.

Kyle Williams WR | NE
Patriots' Kyle Williams: One catch in wild-card win
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.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Getting MRI on knee
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.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Four catches versus Chargers
Boutte caught all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
Boutte was listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the wideout logged a 53 percent snap share Sunday, a lighter workload than he usually sees, but Boutte still ended up pacing the team in catches and was second to RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the receiving yards department. Boutte -- who averaged 16.7 yards a catch during the regular season -- will continue to be a mainstay in the Patriots passing attack in the team's divisional-round game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Inefficient in wild-card loss
Allen had three receptions on eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round.
Allen suffered a disappointing end to his return to the Chargers in 2025 when he finished Sunday's playoff loss with a catch rate below 50 percent. The 33-year-old wasn't on the same page with QB Justin Herbert like they were during the regular season when the duo connected on 66 percent of their attempts, resulting in a 81-777-4 receiving line for the veteran receiver. Allen will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, so the future Hall of Famer will be in control of his destiny should he decide to return for a 14th season.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Leads team with 32 receiving yards
McConkey had three receptions on four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots.
The Chargers failed to keep QB Justin Herbert upright against New England's aggressive pass rush Sunday, resulting in barely any shots being taken downfield in a muted performance by the offense. McConkey wound up leading the team in receiving and grabbing the longest reception (20 yards) of the night for his club despite registering a forgettable stat line in the season-ending loss. The sophomore had a down year in 2025, finishing the regular season with 16 fewer receptions, 360 less yards and one fewer touchdown in the same amount of games played as his stellar rookie campaign (82-1,149-7). McConkey will attempt to reestablish himself as one of Justin Herbert's top receiving options and budding stars of the league when the Chargers regroup this upcoming offseason.

Stefon Diggs WR | NE
Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Two catches in wild-card win
Diggs caught two of five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
Diggs tied Hunter Henry for the team lead in targets, but the former didn't make much of an impact in Sunday night's defensive battle, which had three times as many combined turnovers as touchdowns. New England will have another home game in the AFC divisional round, hosting either the leaky Steelers secondary or the stout Texans secondary. Diggs has been hit-or-miss in his postseason career, with 35 or fewer receiving yards in six of 15 such games and more than 100 yards in four playoff games.

Roman Wilson WR | PIT
Steelers' Roman Wilson: Minimal role to end 2025 campaign
Wilson secured 12 of 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns over 13 regular-season appearances in 2025.
After missing most of his rookie season in 2024 due to injuries, Wilson had some encouraging performances in 2025, highlighted by a midseason stretch in which he had five performances with double-digit receiving yards in a span of six games. However, his role diminished down the stretch, and he was a healthy scratch in four of the team's last six regular-season matchups. Wilson could have some streaming appeal in 2026, but he'll likely have trouble carving out consistent fantasy relevance throughout the season.

Ben Skowronek WR | PIT
Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Quiet during 2025 regular season
Skowronek secured four of six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Skowronek had a 22-yard touchdown reception in the Steelers' Week 1 win over the Jets, but his production went downhill from there. He failed to garner multiple targets in any of his regular-season appearances, and he was forced to play mainly on special teams during his fifth professional campaign. The 2021 seventh-rounder will be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him seek out other opportunities after being held under 70 receiving yards in each of his two seasons in Pittsburgh.
