  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Fails to make impact in 2025

    Mingo caught one of five targets for 25 yards while active for six games with the Cowboys in 2025.

    The third-year wideout didn't see his first snap of the season until Week 12, and he saw exactly one target in each of Dallas' last five games, catching just one of them. Mingo has one year left on his rookie contract after entering the league as a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2023, but he's done nothing with the Cowboys to suggest a breakout is coming next season, and he may not even be guaranteed a roster spot.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Cashes in on new kickoff rules

    Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns over 15 games in 2025. He also gained 89 rushing yards on 17 carries and led the NFL in kickoff-return yards with 1,814, while adding 55 punt-return yards.

    The kickoff-return yards were more than double Turpin's 2024 total, as he took full advantage of the league's revised kickoff rules. The 29-year-old wound up finishing second to the Titans' Chimere Dike in total return yards, but Turpin did fail to take any kicks to the house after scoring twice in 2024 as a return man. With two more years left on his contract, Turpin should be back in 2026 as the Cowboys' primary return specialist and an occasional contributor on offense.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Rips off long reception in NFCCG

    Shaheed caught one of three targets for 51 yards while rushing for no gain on his only attempt in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Shaheed was unable to follow up the touchdown return he registered on the opening play of the divisional round win over the 49ers after the Rams opted to kick touchbacks on five out of six kickoffs Sunday. The versatile receiver still made his mark on the contest when he ripped off a 51-yard gain on his only reception of the playoff victory. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10-153-1) and Cooper Kupp (4-36-1) provided the volume and scoring that fantasy players were hunting for on Seattle's roster, leaving Shaheed in a volatile boom-or-bust category when looking ahead to Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: First postseason TD with SEA

    Kupp had four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 playoff win over the Rams.

    Kupp stuck it to his former club when he cashed in QB Sam Darnold's third touchdown pass of the contest to put the Seahawks up for good in fourth quarter of the NFC Championship Game. The 32-year-old Kupp saw his numbers understandably take a dip in 2025, but he has been coming on strong with nine receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown in two postseason appearances with Seattle. Kupp was named MVP of Super Bowl LVI as a member of the Rams in 2021, and while the wideout is no longer the player he was back then, he is riding a hot streak into a matchup against the Patriots for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Leading rusher on nine attempts

    Corum took nine carries for 55 yards while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 31-27 playoff loss to Seattle.

    Corum finished Sunday's NFC Championship Game as his club's leading rusher after lead back Kyren Williams (10-39-0) struggled to gain traction on the ground. The 24-year-old Corum stood out at times this year while spelling the starter, finishing his sophomore campaign 746 rushing yards and six touchdowns while appearing in all 17 regular-season games for the Rams. Head coach Sean McVay figures to continue leaning on both of his talented young backs in 2026, with Williams beginning the year as the starter and preferred fantasy option.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Logs 4-89-1 line in NFCCG loss

    Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Adams finally looked healthy in the conference championship round after suffering an injury to his hamstring in Week 15 of the regular season. The 32-year-old superstar finished with a catch rate north of 50 percent for the first time in three starts this postseason while also registering his first playoff score as a member of the Rams. Adams had a renaissance year with Los Angeles in 2025, finishing the regular season with 14 touchdown receptions in as many appearances, tying the second-highest mark of his storied 13-year career. The Rams' passing offense should have a similar makeup in 2026 with QB Matthew Stafford under center and Puka Nacua and Adams starring on the outside.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Catches TD in playoff loss

    Williams handled 10 carries for 39 yards while catching both of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Williams paced the Rams with 10 carries in the NFC Championship Game, but it was backup Blake Corum (9-55-0) who led the team in rushing yards Sunday. The 24-year-old Williams finished with the higher fantasy score after cashing in one of QB Matthew Stafford's three touchdown passes in defeat. Williams churned out another strong fantasy campaign as the Rams' starter in 2025 after amassing 1,533 total yards and 13 combined touchdowns in 17 regular-season appearances. The Notre Dame product remains under contract with the Rams through 2028, and the fact that he out-touched Corum in all three of Los Angeles' playoff contests bodes well for Williams retaining the lead-back role in 2026.

  • Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Workhorse role in NFCCG win

    Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while bringing in all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Walker took over as the Seahawks' clear No. 1 option out of the backfield after teammate Zach Charbonnet suffered a serious knee injury in last week's playoff win over San Francisco. The 24-year-old Walker failed to reproduce his three-score outing from the divisional round, but he still cracked the century mark in total yards while scoring his fourth rushing touchdown of the postseason. With no Charbonnet to cut into his touch share, Walker is primed to handle another heavy workload when the Seahawks face the Patriots on Feb. 8 in Super Bowl LX.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Clutch play earns ticket to SBLX

    Darnold completed 25 of 36 pass attempts for 346 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for nine yards on three attempts in Sunday's 31-27 NFC Championship Game win over the Rams.

    Darnold was dealing with oblique discomfort during the practice week, but he did not carry a designation into Sunday's playoff tilt. Often criticized for his shortcomings in high-stakes games, Darnold overcame that narrative by producing one his finest performances from the pocket (127.8 QBR) in order to send the Seahawks to Santa Clara, CA for Super Bowl LX. The 346 passing yards were the most the 28-year-old has slung through 19 starts with Seattle. It was also the first time the veteran signal-caller has thrown three touchdown passes with no turnovers in a game this season. Darnold and the Seahawks will have two weeks to prepare for a stiff Patriots defense before the two teams meet in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Standout effort falls short

    Nacua corralled nine of 14 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown while gaining four yards on his only carry in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Nacua paced the Rams in targets, receptions and yards from scrimmage in an impressive individual effort that wasn't enough to lift his club past the NFC Championship Game in 2025. The fantasy stud overcame the complexity of incorporating another superstar wideout into the mix when Davante Adams signed with Los Angeles this past offseason. Nacua maintained his elite status while posting career bests in catches (129), touchdowns (11) and total yardage (1,820) across 16 regular-season appearances. The 2023 fifth-round pick has already surpassed all expectations through three seasons in the pros, and there is little reason to believe that Nacua can't continue to deliver both on the field and for fantasy managers in 2026.
