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.

Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Done for the game
Hamilton (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's matchup with the Steelers.
The safety was evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the second half, and he had to go to the locker room immediately after the evaluation. Hamilton had nine tackles (six solo) and a pass breakup at the time of his exit. Ar'Darius Washington, Malaki Starks and Keondre Jackson are Baltimore's extra safeties.

Trey Lance QB | LAC
Chargers' Trey Lance: Makes impact with legs Sunday
Lance completed 20 of 44 pass attempts for 136 yards and an interception while gaining 69 yards and losing a fumble on nine carries in Sunday's 19-3 loss to Denver.
QB Justin Herbert was a healthy scratch in Week 18 with the Chargers having little to play for regarding playoff seeding. This afforded Lance to make his first start of the season, and the results were mediocre as expected against one of the league's top defensive units. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was able to put his athleticism on display by gaining 69 rushing yards. That's where the good feedback ends, as Lance completed less than half of his 44 pass attempts, with his only touchdown pass going to the other team via a pick-six in the one-sided loss. Lance will resume his backup role behind Herbert when the Chargers visit the Patriots next Sunday for the wild-card round of the playoffs.

David Montgomery RB | DET
Lions' David Montgomery: Totals 55 yards in Week 18 win
Montgomery rushed eight times for 42 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bears.
After totaling 1,116 yards and 12 touchdowns on 221 touches across 14 regular-season games (all starts) last season, Montgomery took more of a back seat to Jahmyr Gibbs in 2025. Montgomery didn't start any of the first 16 contests this season and handled five fewer touches per game, finishing with 716 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 158 carries to go along with a 24-192-0 receiving line on 29 targets. Montgomery will turn 29 years old in June and has two years remaining on his contract. His roster spot is likely safe for 2026, but the 9-8 Lions will be coming off a disappointing season and are likely to shake up the roster.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Logs three catches in finale
Dulcich brought in three of four targets for 31 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Dulcich had the opportunity to function as the clear No. 1 tight end due to Darren Waller's placement on injured reserve with a groin injury, but the former was unable to generate meaningful production while working with rookie signal-caller Quinn Ewers (knee). Dulcich did have an encouraging stretch run in Miami, however, reviving a career that had been stuck in neutral since a solid 2022 rookie season in Denver by posting a 26-335-1 line on 33 targets across 10 games. Dulcich played 2025 on a one-year deal, so it remains to be seen if the Dolphins will be interested in a reunion or allow him to test the open market.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Four catches in season finale
Slayton caught four of nine targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over Dallas.
Slayton was able to reel in at least four passes for the first time since Week 15 and the fifth time overall this season. The wide receiver finished his seventh campaign in New York having caught 37 of 64 targets for 538 yards and one touchdown over 14 regular-season contests. Slayton will enter the offseason as a free agent, and his 14.5 yards per reception this year will likely attract some potential new suitors ahead of the 2026 campaign.

RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Struggles with 16 touches
Harvey was held to 28 yards on 15 carries while catching one of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Chargers.
Harvey was bottled up from the get-go Sunday, averaging less than 2.0 yards per carry while failing to make an impact as a receiver. The rookie's poor performance was compounded by his inability to extend the five-game scoring streak he entered the contest with. Harvey put together a strong fantasy campaign with 896 combined yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns across 17 games. The 2025 second-round pick started the year as a backup and took over for J.K. Dobbins (knee) as the starter in Week 11 after the latter was placed on injured reserve. Harvey should continue leading Denver's backfield when the AFC's No. 1 seed resumes play in the divisional round of the playoffs.

D'Andre Swift RB | CHI
Bears' D'Andre Swift: Quiet finish to regular season
Swift rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Swift saw his rushing opportunities capped due to game script, as the Bears entered the fourth quarter trailing 16-0. The veteran back was reasonably effective when he did touch the ball, and he outpaced backfield mate Kyle Monangai by four carries and 26 rushing yards. Swift finished his second season in Chicago with a career-high 1,087 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns at 4.8 yards per carry, complementing those figures with a 34-299-1 receiving line on 48 targets across 16 games. Swift is expected to continue working in a relatively close timeshare with Monangai during the upcoming postseason, beginning with next week's home matchup against the Packers in the wild-card round.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Four catches in season finale
McLaurin recorded four receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.
McLaurin was the only pass catcher to get anything going for the Commanders, as Josh Johnson managed just 131 passing yards. McLaurin made a long catch of 25 yards early in the second quarter, though he also drew four defensive penalties, two of which helped keep touchdown drives alive. McLaurin endured a tough 2025 season due to his own struggles to stay on the field, as well as Jayden Daniels (elbow) missing a significant portion of the year. However, McLaurin should have a strong chance to bounce back in 2026, as he had logged five consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards entering the current campaign.
