Tank Bigsby RB | PHI
Eagles' Tank Bigsby: Looks good as lead back
Bigsby rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for 31 yards.
Bigsby took advantage of the chance to work as the lead back with Saquon Barkley resting in preparation for the playoffs. He ripped off a pair of 13-yard gains on the ground, and four of his 16 carries went for at least eight yards. Bigsby also plunged into the end zone from two yards away midway through the third quarter while delivering an impressive 31-yard gain as a receiver-- his longest play from scrimmage. He'll return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and closes the regular season with 377 yards from scrimmage across 16 games.

Caleb Williams QB | CHI
Bears' Caleb Williams: Comes on late in Week 18 loss
Williams completed 20 of 33 passes for 212 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while rushing once for one yard in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
Williams couldn't lead the Bears to any points in the first three quarters, but he helped Chicago's offense come alive in the fourth to make things interesting. Williams particularly had his connection with rookie tight end Colston Loveland clicking, as the latter was on the receiving end of 10 of Williams' completions, 91 receiving yards and one of his two touchdowns, from one yard out. Williams also connected with Jahdae Walker from 25 yards out early in the fourth quarter, finishing with a pair of TD tosses for the fifth straight game to close out the campaign. Williams undeniably took a step forward in his first season under the tutelage of head coach Ben Johnson while throwing for 3,942 yards and posting a 27:7 TD:INT, but he'll need to achieve more quarter-to-quarter consistency for the Bears to succeed in the postseason beginning with next weekend's home wild-card matchup against the Packers.

Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Jets' Isaiah Williams: Five catches in Week 18
Williams caught five of seven targets for 24 yards and had five kickoff returns for 142 yards in Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills. He finished the 2025 season with 26 catches for 193 yards on 36 targets.
After being voted the 2025 Jets team MVP by his teammates, Williams fittingly led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in the season finale, accounting for 24 of Brady Cook's 60 passing yards. Williams got team MVP honors primarily for his contributions on special teams, as he scored two punt-return touchdowns and racked up 1,460 all-purpose yards, though he got more involved on offense down the stretch with at least four catches in each of the last four games. Williams, who is approaching his 25th birthday, is under contract with the Jets through the 2026 season.

Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ
Jets' Khalil Herbert: Season-high 12 carries in Week 18
Herbert rushed 12 times for 42 yards and caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills.
Herbert had 12 carries to Kene Nwangwu's seven as the Jets played without Breece Hall (knee) after placing Isaiah Davis (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday. Prior to Sunday's season finale, Herbert had just four carries for 10 yards and no catches all season. The 27-year-old running back isn't expected to garner much interest in free agency, though Herbert may land a depth role somewhere.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Lions' Jared Goff: Carves up Bears in finale
Goff completed 27 of 42 passes for 331 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Goff effectively led a relatively pass-heavy attack throughout the afternoon, focusing the majority of his attention -- with great efficacy -- on Amon-Ra St. Brown, who ended up on the receiving end of 11 of his completions for 139 yards. Goff also hit Jahmyr Gibbs for his one touchdown pass from 15 yards out with under five minutes remaining in the first half, and he managed to lead the Lions to a winning record in an otherwise disappointing, non-playoff season. Goff put together another highly fantasy-friendly regular season, completing 68.0 percent of his passes for 4,564 yards and a 34:8 TD:INT while adding 19 rush attempts for 45 yards and playing all 17 games for the fourth consecutive campaign.

Brady Cook QB | NYJ
Jets' Brady Cook: Throws for 60 yards in Week 18
Cook completed 11 of 22 passes for 60 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for seven yards in Sunday's 35-8 loss to the Bills. He also threw a two-point conversion.
The Jets couldn't get anything going in the regular-season finale, even against a Bills team that played its key starters sparingly, if at all. Cook avoided the embarrassment of being shut out to end the season by throwing a two-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Beck with 7:33 remaining in the fourth quarter, and the undrafted rookie quarterback added a two-point conversion to Quentin Skinner. The Jets are expected to select a quarterback with the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but even if they don't, Cook has shown he may not be the answer under center with just 739 passing yards and a 2:7 TD:INT across five regular-season appearances (four starts).

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Three TDs on nine touches
Stevenson rushed seven times for 131 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 22 yards and another score in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Stevenson's efficiency was off the charts in the lopsided victory, with the talented running back recording two- and 35-yard touchdown runs alongside a 15-yard scoring reception in the first half before the game got away from the Dolphins and New England had the luxury of pulling starters. Stevenson wrapped up the regular season with six total touchdowns (four rushing, two receiving) in the last three contests, and Sunday's rushing yardage total was his highest of the season. Stevenson should continue operating in a highly effective timeshare with TreVeyon Henderson in the postseason, beginning with a home wild-card contest against the Chargers next weekend.

Ty Johnson RB | BUF
Bills' Ty Johnson: Two TDs in regular-season finale
Johnson rushed 13 times for 36 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets.
Johnson came into the regular-season finale with three scrimmage touchdowns all season before tacking on a six-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter and a six-yard receiving score in the fourth to set a new single-season career high with five total touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. Both Johnson and Ray Davis (174 yards and one touchdown on 23 touches) thrived in expanded roles against the vulnerable Jets defense after James Cook got the first two touches among Buffalo's running backs. Johnson and Davis are expected to return to complementary roles behind Cook in the wild-card round at Jacksonville.

Colston Loveland TE | CHI
Bears' Colston Loveland: Racks up catches in loss
Loveland brought in 10 of 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Loveland led the Bears pass catchers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, seeing plenty of second-half action as Chicago scored 16 fourth-quarter points to make things interesting. Six of those came courtesy of Loveland, who recorded a one-yard scoring grab with just under five and a half minutes remaining in the contest to narrow a 16-8 deficit. Loveland finished his first NFL regular season by eclipsing 90 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown in consecutive games, leaving him with a 58-713-6 line on 82 targets across 16 games and affording him plenty of momentum heading into the wild-card round next weekend.

Ray Davis RB | BUF
Bills' Ray Davis: Runs for 151 in Week 18
Davis rushed 21 times for 151 yards while catching both of his targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He also had a 22-yard kickoff return.
Davis and Ty Johnson (56 scrimmage yards and two total touchdowns on 15 touches) both capitalized on increased workloads against the hapless Jets, as James Cook didn't touch the ball after Buffalo's second offensive snap. Cook is certain to reclaim the lead role in Buffalo's backfield in the wild-card round, when the sixth-seeded Bills travel to Jacksonville. Davis' two-yard receiving touchdown in the third quarter from backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was the second receiving score of the season for the 2024 fourth-round pick, but Davis finished the regular season without a rushing touchdown.
