  • Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Breaks free for key score

    Charbonnet rushed the ball 17 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added three receptions on four targets for 23 yards.

    Charbonnet worked in a near-even split with Kenneth Walker, with Walker turning in the more efficient performance. However, Charbonnet was still arguably responsible for the biggest play of the game, when he ripped off an impressive 27-yard rushing score late in the first quarter -- the only touchdown of the game for either team. Charbonnet closed the regular season in strong form, totaling 219 yards from scrimmage combined across his final two contests. He'll retain a key role for Seattle's playoff run, beginning in the divisional round.

  • 49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Stifled by Seattle

    McCaffrey rushed the ball eight times for 23 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks. He added six receptions on seven targets for 34 yards.

    Seattle dominated time of possession, limiting San Francisco to only 42 offensive plays. That limited volume for all of their skill-position players, including McCaffrey. Even when he did get touches, McCaffrey was stifled by the elite Seahawks defense, with his longest gain from scrimmage going for only nine yards. Despite the disappointing close, McCaffrey concludes the regular season with an excellent 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Impressive showing in Week 18

    Walker rushed the ball 16 times for 97 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added four receptions on four targets for 36 yards.

    Walker worked in a nearly even split with Zach Charbonnet, but Seattle's run-heavy game plan allowed both to turn in strong performances. Four of Walker's rushing attempts went for double-digit yards, the longest of which was a 19-yard scamper late in the third quarter to convert on third down to keep a game-clinching drive alive. He also had three-plus receptions for the second time in his last three games while tallying his third-highest yardage total as a pass catcher on the season. While Walker will continue to work in a split with Charbonnet, the former has managed over 100 yards from scrimmage in two of the final three games to close the regular season. Finally, this performance pushed Walker over 1,000 rushing yards in the regular season, his first time achieving that threshold since his rookie year.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Records 84 yards in win

    Smith-Njigba recorded six receptions on eight targets for 84 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers.

    The Seahawks played from ahead and were satisfied with relying on their run game, meaning Sam Darnold attempted only 26 passes. Smith-Njigba still managed a solid eight targets, double the amount of any other Seattle pass catcher. Half of his six receptions also went for over 15 yards, helping him top 80 receiving yards for the fourth time in his last five games. With the performance, Smith-Njigba ends the regular season with 118 receptions for 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

  • Patriots' Will Campbell: Back from IR

    Campbell (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Campbell has been sidelined since late November but managed to practice in full throughout the week. He does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Dolphins, suggesting Campbell will be active to help the Patriots as they attempt to lock up one of the two top seeds in the AFC.

  • Sam Roberts DT | NYG

    Falcons' Sam Roberts: Won't face Saints

    Roberts (knee) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Roberts has been practicing for the last week and even upgraded to a full session Friday. However, he still won't be able to return for Sunday's season finale and will have missed the final eight games of the 2025 season. Roberts tallied 18 tackles and 1.0 sacks across five games on the campaign.

  • 49ers' Tatum Bethune: Dealing with groin issue

    Bethune is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Seahawks due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Bethune suffered the injury late in Saturday's matchup against Seattle. He had racked up seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks, prior to his exit.

  • Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR

    Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Meager production on seven touches

    Hubbard rushed five times for 10 yards and secured both targets for seven yards in the Panthers' 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.

    Hubbard's day was as unproductive as his line suggests, although backfield mate Rico Dowdle fared even worse on the ground (1.4 yards per carry). Hubbard's production saw a significant downturn in 2025 compared to the last two seasons, as a two-game absence in Weeks 5-6 opened the door for Dowdle to take over the lead-back role for an extended period. Hubbard finishes the regular season with 511 rushing yards (3.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown while adding a 30-223-3 receiving line across 15 games, and he'll remain in a timeshare with Dowdle in the wild-card round if the Panthers qualify for the postseason via a Falcons win over the Saints on Sunday.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Records 41 total yards in win

    White rushed seven times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday.

    White was a distant runner-up to Bucky Irving in carries for the Buccaneers on the afternoon, with the latter logging a career-high 26 rush attempts. Like Irving, White averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, and he complemented that with equally modest receiving yardage. White put together just a serviceable regular season despite the fact he had the potential for expanded opportunity with Irving missing seven games with shoulder and foot injuries, with the former finishing with 572 rushing yards and four touchdowns at 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 40-218-0 line on 45 targets across 17 games. White would remain in a complementary role should the Buccaneers play next weekend in the wild-card round by virtue of the Saints tying or defeating the Falcons on Sunday.

  • Falcons' DeMarcco Hellams: Done for year

    Hellams (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Hellams was designated to return Wednesday after missing Atlanta's last four games. He logged a full practice Friday after logging two limited sessions earlier in the week, but that won't be enough for him to play in the Falcons' season finale. Hellams played almost exclusively on special teams and logged 10 tackles across 11 games in 2025.
