Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Falls down depth chart in 2025
Tolbert caught 18 of 34 targets for 203 yards and a touchdown over 13 games in 2025.
After a career-best campaign in 2024, Tolbert headed into the season third on the depth chart at wide receiver for the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The 2022 third-round pick fell out of favor after the first month of the season, however, and he was passed in the pecking order for snaps and targets by Ryan Flournoy. Tolbert is a free agent this offseason, and even with Pickens not guaranteed to return, it seems unlikely he'll be re-signed by Dallas.

Chris Moore WR | WAS
Commanders' Chris Moore: Makes 11 catches in 2025
Moore caught 11 of 23 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown while adding a nine-yard carry across 14 appearances during the 2025 regular season.
Moore began the season on the practice squad but spent most of the season on the Commanders' active roster and saw a surprisingly high amount of usage due to the team's injuries at wide receiver. That didn't amount to much production, though. He'll be a free agent ahead of his age-33 season and will likely have to compete for a roster spot somewhere in training camp.

Ainias Smith WR | CAR
Panthers' Ainias Smith: Staying with Panthers
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.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Makes three grabs in WC loss
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.

Dan Chisena WR | CAR
Panthers' Dan Chisena: Sticking around in Carolina
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.

Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF
Bills' Tyrell Shavers: One catch in wild-card round
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.

Tylan Wallace WR | BAL
Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Role gets scaled back in 2025
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.

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.
