  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Finishes another quiet season

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

    After beginning the season with the Giants and recording just four grabs for 55 yards over three games, Humphrey was signed away from New York's practice squad by the Broncos ahead of the team's Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs. The veteran wideout was reunited with the Broncos after spending the previous two seasons in Denver. He joined a crowded wide receiver room, providing depth in a familiar offense behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims. Humphrey will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so he'll hope to garner interest from teams around the league ahead of the 2026 campaign. With that said, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 27-year-old re-sign with the Broncos based on his familiarity with head coach Sean Payton's system, though he would have an uphill battle for meaningful playing time once again.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Disappointing season in 2025

    Mims ended the 2025 regular season with 37 receptions on 51 targets for 322 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 rushes for 78 yards and a score across 15 games. He also scored one punt-return touchdown.

    Mims entered the year with high hopes to take a step forward in Denver's passing attack, yet the speedy wide receiver never became a significant part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season. The third-year wideout's 322 receiving yards marked a career low for the Oklahoma product. With teammate Courtland Sutton operating as the Broncos' unquestioned No. 1 receiver and both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant emerging into prominent roles this season, Mims was left very few targets to have an impact offensively. Many of his looks came close to the line of scrimmage, with his limited downfield targets capping his overall upside. Mims is set to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2027. The 23-year-old will likely continue to struggle to produce consistently for fantasy purposes next season, especially with the development of the team's other young receivers within head coach Sean Payton's offense.

  • 49ers' Jordan Watkins: Little involvement in rookie year

    Watkins was active for four games in 2025 and finished the regular season with two receptions on three targets for 26 yards.

    Watkins suffered a high-ankle sprain in the preseason but was still able to make the 53-man roster as a rookie. The fourth-round pick was a healthy scratch for all but four games even with the 49ers dealing with depth issues at the wide-receiver position. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has a track record of not relying on rookie wideouts, so there is a chance we see Watkins' role increase as a sophomore in 2025.

  • Skyy Moore WR | SF

    49ers' Skyy Moore: Finds home in SF as return man

    Moore finished the 2025 regular season with five receptions for 87 yards, two carries for 11 yards and 1,198 combined return yards in 17 appearances.

    Moore was traded to the 49ers this past offseason after falling out of favor as a receiver during his three years with the Chiefs. The shifty wideout was used sparingly on offense (seven touches for 98 yards), but he solidified a role on special teams as San Francisco's primary return man. Moore appeared in all 17 games this regular season and finished with career highs in kickoff-return yards (907) and punt-return yards (291). The 24-year-old is a strong candidate to return to the 49ers next season after thriving as the team's return specialist in 2025.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Added to injury report Thursday

    Boutte (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

    Boutte wasn't listed on the Patriots' initial injury report Wednesday, so it's unclear if the wideout emerged from that session with a hamstring issue or sustained an injury during Thursday's practice. Friday's final report will reveal whether Boutte approaches Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers with an injury designation, in any case.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Ready for playoffs

    Collins, who was inactive for this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts, isn't listed on the Texans' injury report ahead of Monday night's playoff opener against the Steelers.

    Collins and veteran RB Nick Chubb were rested in the Texans' Week 18 win, with an eye toward keeping the duo fresh for the team's upcoming postseason run. With Collins currently not managing any injury concerns, he's set to reclaim his role as Houston's top wideout Monday on the heels of recording a 71-1,117-6 line (on 120 targets) in 15 regular-season contests.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Missing wild-card round

    Whittington (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Panthers in the wild-card round.

    Whittington was sidelined for all three of the Rams' practices this week, leading to him being ruled out Thursday. With Davante Adams back from his hamstring injury, there likely won't be many targets to go around behind Puka Nacua and Adams, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell left to compete for those looks among wide receivers. Blake Corum is a candidate to return kickoffs in Whittington's absence.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Set to return Saturday

    Adams (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card game at Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Adams thus has been cleared for his first game action since Week 15, when he aggravated a hamstring injury. Prior to missing the final three contests of the regular season, the wideout was a TD machine, racking up 14 such catches, which ended up leading the entire NFL. While fellow WR Puka Nacua still dominates the attention of QB Matthew Stafford, Adams' red-zone prowess will be key as the Rams open the postseason.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Not practicing Thursday

    Pearsall (knee/ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Though Pearsall was present for the session, he was relegated to working out on a rehab field to the side of practice while he continues to manage a lingering PCL injury to his right knee in addition to an ankle issue. The 49ers haven't indicated that Pearsall's aggravation of the knee injury is as significant as the initial PCL sprain that kept him sidelined for six straight games earlier this season, but with no practice activity so far this week, the wideout would appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's wild-card game in Philadelphia.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Deemed questionable for wild card

    The Packers list Wicks (concussion) as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

    Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed prior to Thursday's practice that Wicks was still in concussion protocol, which was backed up by the wideout remaining a limited participant in the team's final practice of the week. Wicks still has a chance to play Saturday, but he'll need to be cleared for full contact in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist before he's removed from the protocol. With Bo Melton (knee) and Savion Williams (foot) recently going on injured reserve and with Wicks potentially missing the postseason opener, the Packers could be left with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Jakobie Keeney-James as their available options at receiver against Chicago.
