  • Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG

    Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Won't play Week 18

    Hyatt (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Hyatt dealt with an illness this week and won't be able to suit up for New York's season finale. He'll end a thoroughly disappointing campaign with a paltry five catches on 14 targets for 35 yards with no touchdowns. Hyatt also collected 111 kick-return yards, though all of those came in one game (Week 9 against San Francisco). The Tennessee product is under contract with New York for one more year but may not be retained by the team next season given his poor performance over the past two campaigns.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three catches vs. Tampa Bay

    Legette caught three of four targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Legette's three catches Saturday marked his highest total in a game since the Week 12 loss to the 49ers. The 2024 first-round pick had a costly drop in the first quarter that cost the Panthers a first down, but he was otherwise perfect the rest of the way. On the season, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances. The Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints during their Week 18 clash to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the tiebreaker and host a wild-card playoff game.

  • Quay Walker LB | GB

    Packers' Quay Walker: Resting Week 18

    Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    The Packers are locked in for the NFC's seventh seed heading into the postseason, so Walker will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale while others will likely operate under a snap count. His absence gives both Ty'Ron Hopper and Jamon Dumas-Johnson more opportunities to log snaps on defense in Week 18. Walker will end the 2025 regular season with a career-high 128 tackles (58 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five pass defenses across 14 games.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Impresses in Week 18

    Coker caught six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

    The second-year pro from Holy Cross led the Panthers in targets and receptions while finishing with the second-most receiving yards during Saturday's loss. Coker has established himself as Carolina's No. 2 wideout since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, catching 33 of 43 targets for 394 yards and three touchdowns across 11 appearances. Following the Week 18 defeat, the Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints on Sunday to force a three-way tie for the division title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the division tiebreaker and earn the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs, hosting a wild-card game.

  • Myles Harden CB | CLE

    Browns' Myles Harden: Active for Week 18

    Harden (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Harden logged consecutive limited practice sessions to end the week. The consistent practice seems to have been enough to allow the slot cornerback to suit up for the Browns' last clash of the 2025 season.

  • Trent Brown OT | HOU

    Texans' Trent Brown: Inactive for Week 18

    Brown (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Brown will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to ankle and knee injuries, and Tytus Howard will get the start at right tackle for a second consecutive game. Brown has been unable to practice since sustaining the injuries in Week 16 against the Raiders, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | ATL

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Cleared to play Sunday

    Mooney (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Mooney has received the green light to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Mooney will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the wideout could face more playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in Week 18. Like Mooney, starting receiver Drake London (knee) and tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

  • Philip Rivers QB | IND

    Colts' Philip Rivers: Inactive for season finale

    Rivers is inactive for Sunday's season finale against the Texans.

    With Rivers inactive, Riley Leonard is slated to start Sunday's contest, with Seth Henigan set to serve as his backup. Rivers started the Colts' previous three games, but with the team out of playoff contention, the veteran quarterback will be kept out of harm's way in Week 18.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Receives green light for Sunday

    Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

  • A.J. Terrell CB | ATL

    Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Good to go vs. New Orleans

    Terrell (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Terrell was added to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but it won't prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC South clash. The sixth-year pro has logged 64 tackles (46 solo), 12 pass defenses and one forced fumble through 14 regular-season games.
