  • 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.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Reaches end zone in victory

    Singletary rushed nine times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Singletary was limited to his fewest rushing yards since Week 15, but he was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, punching in a six-yard score in the fourth quarter. The running back completed his second campaign in New York having turned 119 carries into 437 yards and five touchdowns while reeling in 18 of 19 targets for 151 yards over 17 regular-season contests. Singletary will enter the 2026 season in a crowded backfield with Tyrone Tracy and Cam Skattebo (ankle).

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Six catches to close out season

    Williams secured six of eight targets for 74 yards in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Williams played second fiddle to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- who finished with an 11-139-0 line on 15 targets -- but the former managed to close out a career-best season with another solid performance. Williams finally evolved into a well-rounded No. 2 receiver during the second half of the campaign, allowing him to finish with new career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1,117) while also tying a career-best figure in receiving touchdowns (seven) across 17 games. Williams should reprise his role in 2026 alongside St. Brown on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns.

  • Bo Nix QB | DEN

    Broncos' Bo Nix: Win clinches first-round bye

    Nix completed 14 of 23 pass attempts for 141 yards while taking eight carries for 49 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Chargers.

    Nix put his athleticism on display against the Chargers by rushing for his most yards (49) in a single game this season. The 25-year-old fell short as a passer when he was held without a touchdown pass for the third time in 17 starts. The surging sophomore leaned on his defense and special teams to secure victory Sunday, a win that earned Denver the AFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye for the upcoming playoff schedule. Nix finishes the regular season completing 63 percent of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while producing a 83-356-5 line on the ground. The Broncos will now await the results of the wild-card round before preparing for their opponent in the divisional round on either Jan. 17 or 18.

  • Jaylen Wright RB | MIA

    Dolphins' Jaylen Wright: Fizzles in lead role Sunday

    Wright rushed 13 times for 23 yards and brought in both targets for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Wright had the opportunity to helm the Dolphins' ground attack due to De'Von Achane's absence with a shoulder injury, but the former found running room to be at a premium against New England's stout front. Wright found occasional success as a complementary option throughout the 2025 season, finishing the campaign with 288 rushing yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while adding five receptions for 44 yards on nine targets across 10 games. Wright figures to continue working in a reserve role in 2026, potentially in a new offensive system if Miami opts to let head coach and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel go following a 7-10 season.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | WAS

    Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Two catches in victory

    Samuel caught two of five targets for 20 yards and rushed twice for one yard in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.

    Samuel was held to two catches for the second straight week, while his 20 receiving yards were his fewest since Week 8. The wide receiver completed his regular season having caught 72 of 99 targets for 727 yards and five touchdowns while also turning 17 carries into 75 yards and a score over 16 contests. Samuel will enter the offseason as a free agent, and he proved he's still got plenty left in the tank, recording his most receptions since the 2021 campaign.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Reaches 1,000 receiving yards

    Smith recorded three receptions on four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.

    Smith was one of the few key Eagles skill-position players to log snaps, likely because he entered the contest needing 44 receiving yards to reach 1,000 on the campaign. He was targeted frequently early in the contest, logging all of his stats within the team's first two offensive possessions. Smith ultimately reached the 1,000-yard mark on an impressive leaping catch for 27 yards on the final play of the opening quarter. He then rested for the remainder of the game and will play a key role in Philadelphia's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon.
