Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Key drop in NFCCG loss
Parkinson caught three of four targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Parkinson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but the only pass that the tight end didn't catch will haunt him. Parkinson's drop came on a third down deep in Seattle territory in the fourth quarter with plenty of room to run in front of him. He likely would have scored the go-ahead touchdown had he caught the ball on the play, and while the Rams kept that drive going by converting on fourth down, they eventually turned the ball over on downs and lost by four. It was a sour note to cap an otherwise sweet season from Parkinson, who caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 regular-season appearances before adding eight catches for 152 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets spread across three playoff games. He has one year remaining on a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Rams.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Six yards on six targets
Boutte caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
Boutte tied for the team lead in targets but made a minimal impact in a defensive battle that saw both offenses get bogged down by wind and snow in the second half. After being targeted 15 times through three playoff games, Boutte's likely to have a substantial role in Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Patriots' Hunter Henry: Two catches in low-scoring AFCCG
Henry caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.
Neither passing game did much in challenging wintry conditions, as Drake Maye threw for only 86 yards. New England's defense carried the team into Super Bowl LX, in which Henry will face the Seahawks. Henry could be a key component of New England's game plan against a Seattle defense that has been supbar at defending tight ends this season while excelling against other skill positions.

Luke Schoonmaker TE | DAL
Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Disappointing season in 2025
Schoonmaker caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards and zero touchdowns over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.
The 2023 second-round pick has yet to miss a game in the NFL career, but Schoonmaker has done little else of note. His receiving numbers took a tumble from the 27-241-1 line he posted in 2024, and undrafted second-year player Brevyn Spann-Ford has moved past him on the depth chart due to his superior run blocking, although neither player is a threat to starting TE Jake Ferguson. Schoonmaker has one more year left on his rookie contract, but he hasn't done much to secure a spot in the Cowboys' long-term plans.

Brevyn Spann-Ford TE | DAL
Cowboys' Brevyn Spann-Ford: Provides reliable depth at TE
Spann-Ford caught nine of 13 targets for 90 yards and his first career touchdown over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025.
The second-year tight end has emerged as a dependable depth option, drawing excellent grades for his run blocking while also handling a regular role on special teams. Spann-Ford got rewarded for his work in the trenches with a four-yard TD pass from Dak Prescott in Week 12, but his usage as a pass rush catcher behind starter Jake Ferguson remains limited. Spann-Ford has one more year left on his rookie contract before becoming a restricted free agent, so he should fill a similar spot on the depth chart in 2026.

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.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
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.
