  • Tylan Wallace WR | CLE

    Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Best season of career

    Wallace finished the regular season with 11 catches for 193 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. He added two catches for 48 yards in the postseason.

    The fourth-year wideout entered the year with seven catches for 67 yards on 15 combined targets in his first three seasons. Wallace far outperformed that in a single season, catching 92 percent of his targets at a 16.1 YPT clip. His 84-yard touchdown catch against the Bengals was one of the highlights of his career and of the Ravens' season. He will hit free agency this offseason, and it's unclear whether the Ravens will bring him back even with Wallace coming off his best season to date.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Breaks 1,000-yard mark in Year 2

    Flowers finished the season with 74 catches for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. He suffered a knee injury in Week 18 against the Browns that sidelined him for the Ravens' postseason run.

    The second-year man took a step forward after a promising debut. He had three fewer catches than he did as a rookie but totaled 200 more receiving yards in spite of that. Flowers' 19 catches of 20 or more yards tied for fourth among receivers this season and his 6.3 YAC average ranked in the 85th percentile at his position. His five 100-yard games also tied for first in the NFL. Flowers is now established as the No.1 option in Baltimore's passing game and has shown that he can be an upper-echelon fantasy producer even in an offense that had the second-fewest pass attempts in the NFL.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Only two catches in 2024

    Dulin secured two of eight targets for 67 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2024. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and compiled 148 yards on kick returns.

    Dulin spent the 2024 campaign contributing largely in a depth role on offense for Indianapolis while also handling a career-high 292 snaps on special teams. On offense, Dulin largely operated as a blocker or occasional deep threat. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Plans to continue playing career

    Kupp said Monday that he plans to continue his playing career next season but admitted he's not sure if it will be with the Rams, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    "I feel like I've got a lot of good football left in me," Kupp said. "I'll be playing football next year. That much I know. ... I don't have any clarity on what that's going to look like or anything like that. So yeah, obviously would love to be in L.A., but I don't know what that's going to look like." Kupp turns 32 years old in June and is coming off a slow finish to the 2024 season, as he ceded the clear WR1 role to Puka Nacua. Kupp is under contract through 2026, but the Rams could opt to cut him before a $5 million roster bonus is due in March. Designating Kupp as a post-June 1 cut would clear $15 million in cap space and leave behind $14.78 million in dead money. If he's not designated as a post-June 1 cut, the Rams would eat $22.26 million in dead cap hit, clearing just $7.52 million. In pure cash terms, releasing Kupp saves Los Angeles $15 million. If the Rams opt to move on from Kupp, Jordan Whittington makes for a natural in-house replacement out of the slot.

  • Quintez Cephus WR | HOU

    Rams' Quintez Cephus: Inks futures deal with Rams

    The Rams signed Cephus to a reserve/future contract Monday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Cephus signed with the Rams' practice squad Sept. 18 after he failed to make the Texans' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2020 fifth-round pick was not elevated to the Rams' active roster during the regular season or playoffs, but by signing a futures deal he'll have a spot on the 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. Cephus will have the opportunity to participate in OTAs and minicamp during the offseason and put himself in a position to earn a spot on the active roster for the 2025 campaign following training camp.

  • Drake Stoops WR | LAR

    Rams' Drake Stoops: Staying in LA

    The Rams signed Stoops to a reserve/future contract Monday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Stoops signed with the Rams in early May as an undrafted free agent. The Oklahoma product spent the entire 2024 regular season on the Rams' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he wasn't elevated for a single contest. By signing a futures contract, Stoops will be on the Rams' 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12, and he'll work with coaches during OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of earning a roster spot for the 2025 campaign.

  • Jalen Virgil WR | BUF

    Jalen Virgil: Back with practice squad

    Virgil reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Virgil has now been elevated to the Bills' active roster for each of their two playoff games. However, the Appalachian State product didn't play a snap in either contest, likely serving as additional wide receiver depth in case of injuries. He could return to the Bills' active roster for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Kansas City.

  • Anthony Miller WR | BAL

    Anthony Miller: Reverts to practice squad

    Miller reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    With Zay Flowers (knee) sidelined Sunday, the Memphis product was elevated to Baltimore's active roster to ensure depth at wideout in the divisional-round loss to the Bills. Miller performed well when called upon, catching his only target for 16 yards while playing just eight offensive snaps. He may have earned himself a spot on an NFL roster in 2025, as he proved to be a reliable pass-catching option by hauling in all four of his targets for 28 yards across just 17 offensive snaps in two playoff games with the Ravens.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Lions' Tom Kennedy: Inks new deal with Detroit

    The Lions signed Kennedy to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    The Bryant product will remain in Detroit after spending his 2024 campaign between the Lions' practice squad and active roster. Kennedy appeared in four regular-season games for the Lions this season, failing to haul in his only target while also tallying 167 kick-return yards and nine punt-return yards. He's likely to compete for a reserve role in the Lions' wide receiver corps throughout the offseason.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Earns 11 snaps on offense

    Whittington secured his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 28-22 divisional round loss to the Eagles.

    Notably, Whittington easily outpaced fellow backup Tutu Atwell, who only recorded two snaps on offense, in playing time. The sixth-round rookie carved out a small role on offense in the 2024 campaign, putting up a 22-293-0 receiving line while tacking on a pair of rushing attempts for 12 yards. Whittington's role may increase in 2025, as both Demarcus Robinson and the aforementioned Atwell are unrestricted free agents, and Whittington's production when pressed into the starting lineup was solid, including seven catches for 89 yards in a Week 5 loss to Green Bay.
