Taysom Hill QB | NO
Saints' Taysom Hill: Production falls hard in 2025
Hill (shoulder) finished the 2025 season with 52 carries for 114 rushing yards and one touchdown, as well as 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 91 yards over 13 games. He also completed two of six passes for 57 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
Hill started the season on the reserve/PUP list after rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in December 2024. He ended the 2025 campaign with an injury, leaving late in the Week 18 loss to Atlanta with a right shoulder issue. The 36-year-old finished with his worst season-long stat line since 2018, and he's now played just 21 regular-season games over the last two years. Hill is set to become an unrestricted free agent, but it's unclear if he'll continue playing or choose to hang it up this offseason, as he told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com in December that he would decide on his future "down the road." Whether he remains with New Orleans or joins a new team, Hill likely will not be a significant player in fantasy football moving forward.

Amik Robertson CB | WAS
Lions' Amik Robertson: Most productive season yet
Robertson recorded 52 total tackles (43 solo), two forced fumbles and 12 passes defensed, including an interception, over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Robertson was able to play in all 17 regular-season contests for the fourth consecutive year, setting new career highs in total tackles, solo stops and passes defensed. The slot cornerback has more than lived up to his fourth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he's been rather productive over the last two campaigns in Detroit. Robertson is set to become a free agent this offseason, and he'll likely be a hot commodity if he hits the open market.

Rock Ya-Sin CB | DET
Lions' Rock Ya-Sin: Reliable option for Detroit in 2025
Ya-Sin recorded 47 total tackles (27 solo) and nine passes defensed over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Ya-Sin was one of the few Lions defensive backs that was able to make it through the season unscathed, compiling a career-high nine passes defensed while playing all 17 regular-season contests for the first time in his seven NFL campaigns. The cornerback had combined to play just 311 defensive snaps over the two previous years with the Ravens and 49ers, but due to Terrion Arnold (shoulder) missing nine contests, Ya-Sin was able to log 604 snaps on defensive in 2025. Ya-Sin is set to enter free agency in the offseason, and whether it's Detroit or elsewhere, he proved he can still be a starting option for a team moving forward next season.

Al-Quadin Muhammad DT | TB
Lions' Al-Quadin Muhammad: Game-wrecker in 2025
Muhammad produced 25 total tackles (15 solo), including 11.0 sacks, over 17 contests during the 2025 regular season.
Muhammad stepped into a starting role in 2025, and he rewarded the Lions by producing a career-high 11.0 sacks, which tied for 11th in the NFL. The 30-year-old had recorded just 15.0 sacks total over his previous seven seasons in the league, and he appears to have developed into quite the complement to Aidan Hutchinson on the defensive line. Muhammad is set to become a free agent in the offseason, but the Lions will likely look to keep him in Detroit for 2026.

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Quiet finish to rookie season
Egbuka brought in one of three targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the 2025 regular season with 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets and two rushes for nine yards over 17 games.
Egbuka was thrust into a significant role from Day 1 of his rookie season, as the Buccaneers began the campaign without Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan due to ankle and neck injuries, respectively. The Ohio State product looked like an instant star after posting a 25-445-5 line on 38 targets over his first five career games, but Egbuka topped 64 receiving yards just once in the remaining 12 contests despite Mike Evans and Godwin missing significant time, and McMillan not making his season debut until Week 15. Nevertheless, there isn't any doubt about Egbuka's talent after he still nearly eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in his first season, and he could be set for a similar elevated target share in 2026 if Godwin isn't retained this offseason.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Closes season with one catch
Godwin secured his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the 2025 regular season with 33 receptions for 360 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets across nine games.
Godwin's uninspiring finish was a somewhat fitting end to a career-worst season for the accomplished veteran, who failed to hit the 50-catch mark for the first time since his rookie 2017 campaign. He didn't make his season debut until Week 4 while completing his recovery from a 2024 ankle injury, and after posting matching three-catch, 26-yard efforts in his first two games, the Penn State product went on to log five consecutive absences due to a fibula injury. Godwin ultimately managed just one 100-yard performance and finished with a career-low 7.1 yards per target, making it close to a throwaway campaign from a fantasy perspective. He's under contract for the 2026 season at a significant cap hit of $33.7 million thanks in large part to a $22 million base salary, so a restructuring or potential parting of the ways appears to be in the cards this offseason.

Aidan Hutchinson DE | DET
Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Raised production in healthy 2025
Hutchinson recorded 54 total tackles (36 solo), including 14.5 sacks, while also adding four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and three passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over 17 games during the regular season.
Hutchinson was able to take advantage of a healthy 2025 campaign after being limited to just five games in 2024 due to a broken left tibia and fibula. The defensive lineman set new career highs in total tackles, sacks and forced fumbles while playing all 17 regular-season contests for the third time in his four years in Detroit. Additionally, Hutchinson registered at least 1.0 sacks in each of the team's final four games of the season, securing 6.0 sacks over that stretch, and his 14.5 sacks on the year ranked fourth in the NFL. The 25-year-old already inked a fresh four-year, $180 million contract extension in October, and he'll look to help lead the Lions back to the postseason next year.

Derrick Barnes LB | DET
Lions' Derrick Barnes: Resurgent 2025 campaign
Barnes recorded 78 total tackles (40 solo), including 4.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Barnes was able to return to form in 2025 after being limited to just three contests in 2024 due to a knee injury. The linebacker was able exceed 70 total tackles for the second time in his five-year career, while his 4.0 sacks matched his previous four years combined. Additionally, he was able to secure his first career interception in the team's Week 14 win over the Cowboys. Barnes will now enter the second season of his three-year contract with Detroit in 2026.

Jack Campbell LB | DET
Lions' Jack Campbell: Monster production in third year
Campbell recorded 176 total tackles (89 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 17 contests during the 2025 regular season.
Campbell found a way to take another step up in his third campaign in Detroit, setting new career high totals in tackles, sacks, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries. The linebacker finished second in the NFL in total tackles only behind Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks (183). Campbell will be entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2026.

Jayson Jones DT | TB
Buccaneers' Jayson Jones: Staying in Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Jones to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Jones spent most of the 2025 season on the Buccaneers' practice-squad injured list due to an undisclosed issue. He'll remain with the organization and participate in offseason activities as he aims toward making the active roster for the 2026 campaign.
