  • Patriots' Efton Chism: Finishes with three regular-season catches

    Chism finished the 2025 regular season with three catches for 75 yards and a touchdown in eight games.

    Chism also logged 16 kickoff returns in that span for 383 yards. While the 24-year-old slot man, who joined the team as an undrafted rookie out of Eastern Washington, didn't make much of a statistical impact as a rookie, he's a player who figures to stick around as a depth WR/returner in 2026. Whether Chism makes more of an impact as a receiver in his second NFL campaign hinges on the team's offseason moves, but as things stand, fellow WRs Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas are under contract with New England next season.

  • Talanoa Hufanga SAF | DEN

    Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Sets career high in tackles

    Hufanga recorded 106 tackles (67 solo), including 2.0 sacks, 11 passes defensed and one forced fumble over 17 games in 2025.

    Hufanga's first year with the Broncos was undoubtedly a success, as the veteran safety finished the season with the second-most tackles of any Broncos defender behind only Alex Singleton (135). The 25-year-old signed a three-year deal with Denver in 2025 after spending the first four years of his career in San Francisco, and he has proven to be a key contributor for the Broncos in just his first season with the team. Looking ahead to the 2026 campaign, Hufanga will look to build upon his strong start in the Mile High City, helping the Broncos to continue to boast one of the league's best defenses again next season.

  • Damar Hamlin SAF | BUF

    Bills' Damar Hamlin: Won't return to face Jags

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Hamlin (pectoral) will not come off IR in time for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against Jacksonville, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Hamlin had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and has since logged back-to-back limited sessions, but Buffalo will need to advance beyond the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs for the veteran safety to have a chance to retake the field. If Hamlin does return to action later in the postseason, he will stand to handle a depth role in the Bills' secondary.

  • Terrel Bernard LB | BUF

    Bills' Terrel Bernard: Ruled out for wild-card round

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Bernard (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.

    Bernard previously missed Week 18 due to his calf injury, and McDermott has yet to offer a clear estimate for the starting linebacker's recovery timeframe. For Sunday's playoff contest against Jacksonville, both Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen will be candidates to see increased work on defense in Bernard's absence.

  • Alex Singleton LB | DEN

    Broncos' Alex Singleton: Leads Denver in tackles in 2025

    Singleton recorded 135 tackles (54 solo) to go with one sack, four passes defensed and one forced fumble while playing in 16 games during the 2025 season.

    Singleton bounced back in a big way this season after suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 3 of the 2024 season. The 32-year-old linebacker led all Broncos defenders in tackles, proving once again to be a difference maker for Denver's formidable defense. Singleton is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it's possible the Broncos will want to be aggressive in re-signing him based on his consistently high levels of performance. Otherwise, it's likely the veteran will garner a lot of interest from teams around the league that are desperate for strong linebacker play.

  • Ty Johnson RB | BUF

    Bills' Ty Johnson: Set to practice Friday

    Johnson (ankle) will practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Johnson was deemed a non-participant on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday, so the running back's looming participation Friday offers hope that he could be available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. The Bills' final injury report will clarify both Johnson's participation level Friday, as well as his official game status ahead of the upcoming wild-card round.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Trending toward no injury designation

    Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that he doesn't expect Kincaid (knee) to carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Kincaid was listed as limited on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a knee issue. However, the tight end appears to be on track to be active versus Jacksonville barring any issues at Friday's practice, an outcome that would be cemented if he indeed heads into the weekend without an injury designation.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Questionable for Sunday

    Palmer (ankle) won't practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Palmer thus will finish the week with three consecutive 'DNPs,' which clouds the wideout's status for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In 12 contests during the regular season, Palmer put up a 22-303-0 line on 37 targets, a rate of production that limited his fantasy lineup viability to deeper formats.

  • Charlie Kolar TE | BAL

    Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Solid season in contract year

    Kolar finished the season with 10 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets over 17 games.

    It was a strong season from Kolar, who played in all 17 games for the first time in his career. His snap count jumped significantly, going from 230 to 402, and he posted career highs across the board in his receiving production. Though Kolar's 15 targets show that he's not necessarily a staple of the passing game, the Iowa State product has shown himself to be efficient with his opportunities throughout his career. Over four seasons (47 games), Kolar has caught 30 of 41 targets for 409 yards (9.97 YPT) and four touchdowns. Mark Andrews is set to stay in Baltimore for the long run, and now Baltimore must make a call on who to retain between Kolar and Isaiah Likely as both hit free agency this offseason.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Scores one touchdown in 2025

    Adkins finished the 2025 regular-season campaign with six catches on 11 targets for 48 yards and one touchdown across nine appearances.

    Adkins did not play a significant role for the Broncos this season, as the tight end missed time with ankle and knee injuries during the 2025 campaign. The 26-year-old operated as Denver's No. 3 tight end behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman, so even when he was healthy, Adkins faced an uphill battle for playing time. The South Carolina product is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Broncos will have the opportunity to match any offers he may receiver from other teams to keep him in Denver. Regardless of where Adkins ends up playing in 2026, he'll likely continue to be far off the fantasy radar.
