  • Drake Maye QB | NE

    Patriots' Drake Maye: Ready for Super Bowl LX

    Maye (right shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.

    During the first week of Super Bowl prep, Maye was listed as limited last Wednesday and Thursday due to a right shoulder injury that he suffered in the AFC Championship Game win at Denver. He then missed practice last Friday before the Patriots listed him as questionable. However, Maye put together three consecutive full sessions this week, clearing him for the final contest of his second campaign. Through three playoff victories so far, he completed 43 of 77 passes for 533 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed 24 times for 141 yards and one TD and fumbled six times (three lost).

  • Karl Brooks DT | GB

    Packers' Karl Brooks: Consistent third-year production

    Brooks ended the 2025 regular season with 28 tackles (eight solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defensed over 16 games.

    Brooks ended the 2025 campaign with 3.0 sacks fewer than in 2024, but he added four tackles to his total to compensate for the diminished pass-rush production. The defensive tackle was a formidable defensive starter who also logged consistent special-teams snaps, adding to his total value to the team. The 2023 sixth-rounder now enters the final year of his rookie contract, and it remains to be seen if the Packers will extend Brooks before the start of the 2026 season or let him become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

  • Lions' Marcus Davenport: Injury-riddled 2025

    Davenport logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, across eight regular-season games in 2025.

    Davenport missed Week 3 through Week 12 with shoulder and pectoral injuries. The rotational defensive end was a consistent contributor when healthy, participating in between 34 percent and 78 percent of defensive snaps in the games he suited up for. The 29-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in March.

  • Lions' Tyleik Williams: Available through rookie year

    Williams ended the 2025 regular season with 18 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four passes defensed over 17 regular-season games.

    Williams did not miss a game this season. The 2025 first-round defensive tackle was a reliable rotational piece behind starters Alim McNeill and DJ Reader, often sharing snaps with fellow defensive lineman Roy Lopez. With Reader becoming an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Williams has the potential to seize a starting role in the Lions' defense for 2026.

  • Colts' Drew Ogletree: Ends 2025 on IR

    Ogletree (IR, neck) finished his 2025 campaign with four receptions for 27 yards and one touchdown on six targets across 15 regular-season games.

    Ogletree was a pivotal special-teams player and blocking tight end for the Colts, logging 68 percent of snaps or better in every contest he played in until he suffered his neck injury. The 2022 sixth-round pick's injury came at an unfortunate time in his career, as Ogletree will be an unrestricted free agent come the new league year.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: Season cut short by foot injury

    Gould recorded two receptions for six yards across 11 regular-season games with the Colts in 2025. He also recorded 647 yards on kick returns and 127 yards on punt returns.

    Gould missed six games over the course of the season, sitting out Week 9 and Week 10 due to a knee injury before ultimately succumbing to a foot issue that forced him to miss the last four games of the regular season. The second-year receiver logged similar usage to his rookie year, with Week 7 against the Chargers marking his career high in offensive snaps (38). Heading into his third season, it remains to be seen if Gould can maintain his role as a kick and punt returner.

  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Strong blocking piece in 2025

    Bryant ended the 2025 regular season with two receptions for seven yards on six targets. The tight end participated in 12 contests, missing four due to an injured reserve stint caused by neck and shoulder issues.

    Bryant was mainly utilized as a blocking tight end for the Texans' offense and special teams throughout the 2025 regular season. In the postseason, the 27-year-old was able to show his receiving potential by logging three receptions for 21 yards on six targets in the AFC divisional-round loss to the Patriots. Bryant will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Served as a depth option in 2025

    Berrios accumulated six receptions for 37 yards on eight targets and added 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards over four regular-season games.

    Berrios was called upon for just 60 offensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps during the 2025 campaign. The wide receiver was utilized by the Texans as a depth option in the absence of key receivers such as Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Berrios enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unclear if the Texans will be interested in bringing him back in 2026.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Texans' Justin Watson: Season derailed by calf issue

    Watson recorded three receptions for 30 yards on four targets over three regular-season games.

    Watson, who also suffered a postseason-ending concussion in the wild-card win over the Steelers, logged 40 percent or more of the offensive snaps in Week 1 and Week 2 before succumbing to a calf injury that landed him on injured reserve until the Week 18 matchup against the Colts. The wide receiver only logged 19 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in his return. Rookie Jaylin Noel seems to have absorbed Watson's role in the offense, and it is unclear if the veteran will be able to reclaim his role heading into the 2026 season.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Completes versatile rookie campaign

    Noel finished the 2025 regular season with 26 catches (35 targets) for 292 yards and two touchdowns while adding six rush attempts for 12 yards across 17 regular-season games.

    In addition to often serving as the Texans' No. 5 receiver, Noel also recorded 799 yards on kickoff returns and 335 yards on punt returns. The rookie third-rounder established himself as a consistent and versatile player, participating in all 17 regular-season games as both an offensive weapon and special-teams contributor.
