  • Bo Melton CB | GB

    Packers' Bo Melton: Being placed on IR

    The Packers are placing Melton (knee) on injured reserve, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported Wednesday.

    The loss of Melton is a significant blow to a Packers squad that has suffered consistent injuries to its wide receiver corps and secondary. The recent claiming of Trevon Diggs from the Cowboys should make up for Melton's absence at cornerback, but with Savion Williams (foot) on IR and Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears, it remains to be seen what the team will do with its current receiving depth.

  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Recovering from AC joint injury

    Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that the injury Hill (shoulder) sustained Week 18 is "just an AC," Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Hill was forced out of New Orleans' loss to the Falcons in Week 18 due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's just managing an AC joint sprain, and not the type of issue that would significantly impede his offseason recovery. More importantly, it remains unclear whether the 36-year-old veteran intends to continue his playing career for another season. Hill is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com in December that the decision on whether or not to retire will be made "down the road."

  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Posts career-best season

    Tucker caught two of six targets for 30 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished the regular season with 57 receptions for 696 yards and five touchdowns on 92 targets, adding 11 rushes for 51 yards over 17 games.

    Tucker set career highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns as a pass catcher this season, pacing the team with 696 receiving yards. The 24-year-old wideout operated as the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver following the trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars, leaving him and tight end Brock Bowers as the two top pass-catching options in a struggling Raiders offense. Tucker will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and it stands to reason that the team saw enough out of him this season to continue to feature him as one of the focal points of the Raiders' aerial attack next season. Nonetheless, Tucker and the rest of the skill-position players suffered from subpar quarterback this year, capping their output. For the Cincinnati product to build upon his success this season, the Raiders will need to figure out a way to cure their offensive woes.

  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: Records 21 regular-season catches

    Hooper finished the 2025 regular season with 21 catches (on 26 targets) for 263 yards and two TDs in 16 games.

    While working behind fellow TE Hunter Henry (who logged a 60-768-7 receiving line) in a New England offense that spread the ball around, Hooper's fantasy impact this season was limited to deeper TE-friendly formats. The 31-year-old is eligible to become a free agent this coming offseason, unlike Henry, who is under contract with the Patriots through the 2026 campaign.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Held catchless in Week 18

    Bech failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished his rookie regular season with 20 receptions for 224 yards on 29 targets over 16 games.

    Bech struggled to get anything going Sunday, much like the majority of his rookie season with the Raiders. The 23-year-old wideout was not a major part of the Raiders' offensive plans this season, while tight end Brock Bowers and fellow wide receiver Tre Tucker stepped up as the focal points of the team's passing attack. With subpar quarterback play and a struggling offense, Bech was not in an ideal situation to start out his professional career. The TCU product should continue to improve and will hope to see more consistent play at signal caller when he returns for the 2026 season in Las Vegas.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Two grabs to finish regular season

    Coleman caught two of four targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He finished the regular season with 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets over 13 games.

    With Mitch Trubisky in at quarterback for most of the game Sunday, Coleman ended up leading all Bills pass catchers in receiving yards in the game. The second-year wideout became more of a focal point of the Bills' offense with several offensive contributors resting in Week 18 ahead of the AFC playoffs. Coleman's sophomore season was mostly a disappointment, as the Florida State product was expected to take a step forward as a primary target for Josh Allen in 2025 campaign. Coleman will look to improve this offseason in the hopes of becoming a favorite target of Allen in 2026 with the team desperate for my pass-catching weapons. Until this happens, the 22-year-old will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, especially in the Bills wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | CHI

    Bears' Devin Duvernay: No offensive involvement

    Duvernay was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Duvernay played all 17 games and finished the season with two receptions on five targets for 26 yards. He has totaled 17 catches over the past three seasons and operated almost exclusively as a return specialist, leaving minimal offensive fantasy value. He is set to hit free agency.

  • Jahdae Walker WR | CHI

    Bears' Jahdae Walker: Capitalizes late-season chances

    Walker caught two of three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Walker finished the season with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns across nine games, with all of his production coming over the final three contests. He logged only eight offensive snaps prior to that stretch while frequently inactive, highlighting how situational his usage was. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 and enters 2026 as a depth receiver with fringe roster appeal.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Not used on offense

    Homer did not record an offensive statistic in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Homer finished the season appearing in 10 games and recorded one rushing attempt for minus-two yards, with no receptions. He totaled just seven offensive touches across three seasons with the Bears while contributing primarily on special teams, offering no fantasy relevance. He is set to hit free agency.

  • Bears' Gervon Dexter: Registers sack in finale

    Dexter recorded three tackles, including two solo, and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Dexter finished the season with 43 tackles, including 21 solo, 6.0 sacks and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. He has 11.0 sacks over the last two seasons, maintaining interior pass-rush value even with a slight tackle dip from 2024. He is under contract through 2026.
