Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Falls victim to game script Sunday
Sutton had one reception on two targets for five yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Chargers.
Sutton waited until the final game of the regular season to post his worst receiving line to date in 2025. Denver's top receiving option fell victim to an odd game script that saw all of his team's points scored by either the defense or kicker Will Lutz. Sutton still finished with a solid fantasy campaign (74-1,017-7), reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his eighth season as a pro. DFS players should expect more involvement from Sutton when the stakes are raised in the Broncos' next matchup, which will take place in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB | WAS
Commanders' Jacory Croskey-Merritt: Can't get going in Week 18
Croskey-Merritt recorded 13 rushes for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.
Croskey-Merritt saw eight of his 13 carries on the Commanders' opening possession, though he was phased out of the offense from there after picking up only five total yards. This performance was indicative of an up-and-down rookie season for Croskey-Merritt, as he reached at least 95 rushing yards in two of his final six games but failed to reach 35 yards on the ground in the other four. The Commanders are a candidate to add a running back either in free agency or the draft this offseason, but Croskey-Merritt is likely to have a role in 2026.

Darnell Mooney WR | ATL
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Quiet end to disappointing season
Mooney caught three of seven targets for 20 yards in the Falcons' Week 18 win over the Saints.
Mooney suffered a shoulder injury during training camp, and his season never got off the ground following his Week 2 debut. After posting a 64-992-5 receiving line on 106 targets last season, Mooney's numbers took a big hit across the board, as he finished 2025 with 32 catches for 443 yards and one touchdown across 15 appearances. Mooney is under contract through 2026 on an inflated $10.97 million salary. The Falcons are likely to clean house somewhat after firing both GM Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris following Sunday's win over New Orleans. Mooney will turn 29 years old next fall.

Michael Pittman WR | IND
Colts' Michael Pittman: Two catches in season finale
Pittman caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.
Pittman was limited to two catches for the second straight week, and he finished with fewer than 40 receiving yards for the fourth game in a row to end the season. The wide receiver was able to reel in 80 of 111 targets for 784 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, but he ended the year having gone without a score in the final six contests. With Alec Pierce set to enter the offseason as a free agent, Pittman may begin next season as the Colts' undisputed No. 1 wideout.

Andrew Vorhees OG | BAL
Ravens' Andrew Vorhees: Questionable to return Sunday night
Vorhees has a foot injury and is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Steelers.
The left guard was dealing with a foot issue in late December, though it's unclear if this is the same issue. Emery Jones is likely the next man up at left guard.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB | WAS
Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Tallies sixth TD
Rodriguez rushed the ball 16 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles. He added one reception on one target for 18 yards.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt was the starting running back, though Rodriguez ultimately turned out to lead the backfield in touches. Rodriguez was also the more effective back, logging two rushes of more than 10 yards in addition to a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the second quarter. The effort concluded Rodriguez's best season of his career, as he recorded exactly 500 rushing yards with six scores across 13 games. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning there's a strong chance he returns as a backfield option for Washington in 2026.

Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Three catches in victory
Mayer caught three of five targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs.
Mayer was able to pace the team with 47 yards while reeling in at least three passes for the fifth time in his last eight contests. The tight end finished his third campaign in Las Vegas having caught 35 of 50 targets for 328 yards and one touchdown over 13 regular-season contests. Mayer will enter next year as the top reserve option behind Brock Bowers (knee) at tight end with the Raiders.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver on 13 targets
Allen finished with seven receptions on 13 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.
Allen was one of the few starters head coach Jim Harbaugh allowed to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver. The 33-year-old Allen responded to last week's one-catch performance by leading his club in targets, receptions and yardage with backup QB Trey Lance under center. Allen produced solid PPR numbers in his return to the Chargers this season, accruing 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games. Look for Allen to serve as a security blanket for QB Justin Herbert against the Patriots in the wild-card round of the playoffs next Sunday.

Daniel Bellinger TE | NYG
Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Secures touchdown in win
Bellinger caught both of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.
Bellinger was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight week, most notably notching a 29-yard score in the second quarter. The tight end finished his fourth year in New York having caught 19 of 26 targets for a career-high 286 yards and two scores over 16 regular-season contests. Bellinger will be a free agent this offseason, and considering that the Giants appear to have found their long-term starter in Theo Johnson (illness), Bellinger may not return to New York next year. The 25-year-old has yet to exceed 30 catches in an NFL campaign, likely limiting potential interest in him on the open market.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Hits more milestones
Kelce recorded three receptions on six targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.
The Chiefs predictably struggled to move the ball with the combination of Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele leading the offense. Kelce still managed to hit a few milestones to add to his storied career, becoming the third tight end to 13,000 receiving yards in his career while also recording at least 75 receptions for the 10th straight season. Retirement rumors will now become prevalent until Kelce makes a decision about his playing future, and this could prove to be his final game in the NFL.
