  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: On track to play in wild-card game

    Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Adams (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Panthers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Adams ended up missing the final three games of the regular season due to a lingering left hamstring injury, but the Rams held him out in part to ensure that he would be closer to 100 percent for the postseason. The veteran wideout demonstrated some tangible signs of progress ahead of Week 18, as he practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday. Adams should be ready to handle a full load of snaps in the playoff opener.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Held quiet in season finale

    Addison recorded an eight-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.

    Top wideout Justin Jefferson (8-101-0 receiving line on 11 targets) was able to turn in a productive game against a Green Bay squad that was resting several key players ahead of the playoffs, but there little target volume left over for the Vikings' other pass catchers. After serving a three-game suspension to begin his third NFL season, Addison suited up for the final 14 contests and produced a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets while adding 81 rushing yards and another score on two carries. Though his average of 14.5 yards per catch was a career-best mark, Addison took a big step back in Year 3 in terms of touchdown and reception volume, largely due to subpar quarterback play. The wideout's outlook may not be dramatically better in 2026, barring drastic improvement from J.J. McCarthy (hand) or Minnesota looking outside the organization for an upgrade under center.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: On mend from fractured ribs

    Robinson said Monday that he fractured his ribs in the first half of the Giants' Week 17 win over the Raiders, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    Despite the injury, he finished the game in order to meet his goal of reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Robinson achieved the feat, finishing the 2025 season with a 92-1,014-4 line on 140 targets over 16 appearances before the Giants placed him on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 18. Robinson's fractured ribs should be fully healed by the time OTAs get underway in the spring, but whether the 25-year-old will remain with the Giants has yet to be determined. He's slated for unrestricted free agency this spring and could be a sought-after commodity for teams seeking an upgrade at slot receiver.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: One grab in win

    Noel caught his lone target for 13 yards and returned one kickoff for six yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts in Week 18.

    Noel finished with one or fewer receptions for the 11th time in 17 games. He's clearly fifth on the wideout depth chart, but the rookie is set as the team's top punt returner as Houston prepares for the playoffs beginning next Monday in Pittsburgh. Noel finished the 2025 regular season with 26 catches on 35 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns. He also topped the Texans by averaging 10.8 yards over 31 punt returns.

  • Texans' Christian Kirk: One catch in win

    Kirk caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis in Week 18.

    Kirk had the third-most snaps (39) among Houston's wideouts, finishing behind Jayden Higgins (55) and Xavier Hutchinson (54) while Nico Collins was a healthy inactive. A charitable view of that usage might be that a playoff-bound Houston team was protecting a veteran they'll need in the postseason, but Kirk's marginalization began several weeks ago. He had the fourth-highest snap share at WR (44.7 percent) during the regular season but just 14 receptions on 28 targets over the final nine games, as he found himself competing with rookie Jaylin Noel for work in the slot.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: One reception in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

    Tillman was responsible for the Browns' longest play for the second consecutive week, and five of his last eight receptions have gone for more than 20 yards. Unfortunately for the third-year wideout, Cleveland's quarterback situation all season was a mess that limited his growth following a promising campaign in 2024, and Tillman had just five catches over the final seven games this season. He ended the regular season with 21 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 third-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and should be among the team's top three wideouts in 2026, but his fantasy value will depend on organizational changes during the offseason.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Two touches in win

    Bond caught one of two targets for 13 yards and had one carry for four yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over Cincinnati in Week 18.

    Bond didn't see much volume in the regular-season finale, as Cleveland ran more than it passed for the sixth time in the last nine contests. Bond was active for eight of those games and totaled just 14 targets. He did, however, show off some big-play ability during that time, averaging 30.7 yards over seven receptions. The top priority among many offseason objectives for the organization will likely be to fix the passing attack. Those goals likely include changes to the front office/coaching regime as well as a new quarterback. However it shakes out, Bond should be considered part of the offensive rebuild in 2026.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: Five touches in win

    Corley caught both of his targets for 20 yards and had three carries for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18.

    As has often been the case this season with the Browns, Corley saw work as a receiver and runner, and this was the eighth time in 13 games he was used in both roles. He latched on with Cleveland after being cut by the Jets prior to the start of the regular season, and finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and 13 carries for 127 yards, while averaging 23.4 yards on 21 kickoff returns. Cleveland is expected to make significant changes this offseason, and the free agent wideout may not be part of the 2026 picture.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Gains 31 yards in return

    Bryant (concussion) had four receptions on five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Chargers.

    Bryant returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion suffered in Week 16 to lead the Broncos in targets and receptions in the regular-season finale. The third-round rookie made the most of limited opportunities in a game where QB Bo Nix threw for just 141 yards. Bryant's first regular season as a pro yielded a 35-409-1 receiving line primarily as a backup in 16 appearances. WR Courtland Sutton will operate as Denver's No. 1 receiving option when the team begins its playoff run in the divisional round, with Bryant serving as one of several young options behind the veteran on the depth chart.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Scores huge late TD

    Austin had three receptions on seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Ravens.

    Austin played the role of hero sans WR DK Metcalf (suspension) in Week 18 when he took advantage of a slip to the turf by Ravens cornerback Chidobe Awuzie in the final minute of regulation for the game-winning touchdown grab. The 26-year-old Austin was held to one reception for eight yards filling in for Metcalf last week, so this performance truly came from out of nowhere. Austin finishes the regular season with a 31-372-3 receiving line in 14 games, numbers that were good enough to register only with those playing in deeper fantasy formats. With Metcalf returning to action in the wild-card round of the playoffs, Austin possesses minimal upside for next Monday's tilt against the Texans.
