Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Held without a catch in finale
Dulin could not secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to Houston.
Dulin suited up for 12 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2025, during which span he secured five of 10 targets for 106 receiving yards and logged three carries for 44 rushing yards. He also compiled a career-high 516 yards as a kick returner. He has one more year on his contract with Indianapolis, though the team has a potential "out" this offseason for only $670,000 in dead cap.

Blake Grupe K | IND
Colts' Blake Grupe: Perfect to end 2025
Grupe converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-30 loss to Houston.
Grupe was perfect across his five-regular season appearances with Indianapolis, converting all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. He struggled more across his 11 regular-season appearances with the Saints, however, going 18-of-26 on field-goal attempts while nailing all 15 of his PATs in those games. He will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning the Colts will have the option to extend Grupe a one-year tender that would prevent him from negotiating with other teams.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Rests in Week 18 loss
Doubs was active but didn't play in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.
With Green Bay being locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs entering Week 18, head coach Matt LaFleur opted to rest Doubs and several other key contributors in advance of the postseason. Doubs should be ready to go for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears. In two games against Chicago during the regular season, Doubs caught a total of five passes for 84 yards and one touchdown, with all of that production coming in Week 16 after he was blanked on two targets in Week 14.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Wraps regular season with one miss
Borregales converted one of two field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during New England's 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
Borregales wraps the regular season of his rookie campaign having suited up for all 17 games, and converting 27 of 32 field-goal attempts (84 percent) and 53 of 55 extra-point tries. Impressively, Borregales has converted all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards out so far. He'll look to remain steady as the Patriots enter the AFC Playoffs, beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Chargers.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: No snaps in Week 18
Watson was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.
Though he suited up for Week 18, Watson didn't see any action after the Packers opted to rest most of their starters with an eye toward maintaining health heading into the wild-card round. Watson will likely play a prominent role in Saturday's playoff opener against Chicago. In two games against the Bears this season, Watson caught a total of six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns.

David Moore WR | CAR
Panthers' David Moore: Returns from IR
The Panthers reinstated Moore (elbow) from injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The Panthers waited until his 21-day evaluation window came to a close Tuesday before bringing him back from IR. Carolina waived receiver Hunter Renfrow to clear a spot on the 53-man roster for Moore, who had recorded one reception for five yards on one target while adding 12 yards on his lone carry in four appearances before he landed on IR on Oct. 1 due to a dislocated elbow. Despite making a full recovery from the injury, Moore isn't guaranteed to be active for the Panthers' postseason opener Saturday versus the Rams.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Hunter Renfrow: Loses roster spot
The Panthers waived Renfrow on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
After sitting out the 2024 season, Renfrow joined the Panthers on a one-year deal during the offseason and was able to secure a spot on the roster coming out of the preseason. The veteran slot receiver saw plenty of involvement early in the season with a 15-89-2 receiving line on 26 targets through the Panthers' first six games, but he was a healthy inactive from Week 7 onward after Carolina got Jalen Coker back from injured reserve. Renfrow will now lose his spot on the roster in advance of the Panthers' wild-card game Saturday versus the Rams with Carolina opting to activate wideout David Moore (elbow) from IR in a corresponding move.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Two catches Sunday
Douglas caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Douglas recorded a 25 percent snap share in Week 18, while fellow slot man Efton Chism was out there for 44 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense Sunday. As the postseason approaches, Douglas brings modest fantasy upside to the table following a regular season in which he totaled a career-low 31 catches on 46 targets for 447 yards and three TDs in 17 contests.

Kyle Williams WR | NE
Patriots' Kyle Williams: One carry in Week 18
Williams carried the ball once for five yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
Williams, who was on the field for 27 of the Patriots' 59 snaps on offense in Week 18 perMike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest. As Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers approaches, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option on the heels of recording a 10-209-3 receiving line in 17 regular-season contests.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Two catches in Week 18
Boutte caught two of his four targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
In Boutte's return to action after missing one game due to a concussion, he logged a 58 percent snap share, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. That workload was actually tops among the Patriots WRs in Week 18. Looking ahead to Sunday's postseason opener against the Chargers, Boutte figures to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, though the team's tendency to spread the ball around makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option. On the season, the 2023 sixth-rounder caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests.
