  • James Cook RB | BUF

    Bills' James Cook: Finishes with 1,621 rushing yards

    Cook rushed twice for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He finished the regular season with 309 carries for 1,621 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 33 catches for 291 yards and two touchdowns on 40 targets.

    Cook notched carries of 10 yards and five yards on the game's first two plays before watching Ray Davis and Ty Johnson split Buffalo's backfield workload the rest of the way. Despite Cook's limited workload in the regular-season finale, he'll finish as the league leader in rushing yards unless Derrick Henry gains at least 153 rushing yards in Sunday's game against the Steelers. The Bills earned the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoffs and will go on the road against the Jaguars in the wild-card round.

  • Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET

    Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Over 100 scrimmage yards in finale

    Gibbs rushed 19 times for 80 yards and brought in three of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Gibbs led the Lions in rushing yards while also providing his fifth touchdown catch of the season on a 15-yard grab with under five minutes remaining in the first half. The third-year pro bounced back nicely on the ground after several weeks of subpar production, recording his highest rushing yardage tally since his memorable 219-yard effort against the Giants in Week 12. Gibbs put together another stellar campaign in a non-playoff season for Detroit, rushing for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns at 5.1 yards per carry while adding a career-best 77-616-5 receiving line across 17 games.

  • Josh Allen QB | BUF

    Bills' Josh Allen: Plays one snap in Week 18

    Allen didn't attempt a pass in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He finished the regular season with 3,668 passing yards and a 25:10 TD:INT along with 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.

    Allen extended his streak of consecutive starts to 127 regular-season games when he handed the ball off on the first play before letting backup Mitchell Trubisky handle the rest of the game. Buffalo entered the contest locked into a wild-card spot in the AFC and ultimately landed the No. 6 seed, which entails a trip to Jacksonville to face the third-seeded Jaguars in the wild-card round.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: NFL reception leader in 2025

    Nacua hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown while taking two carries for 24 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Nacua entered Sunday's contest with 119 catches over 15 healthy starts in 2025, which put him in a dead heat with Cardinals TE Trey McBride for the league lead in receptions, so it was fitting that both of the superstars' teams faced off against one another in the final game of the regular season. The wideout outproduced the tight end in this individual competition after Nacua secured 10 of his 11 targets compared to McBride's seven and eight, respectively. The 24-year-old Nacua added 24 rushing yards to give fantasy managers an even 100 yards from scrimmage to go along with his 11th touchdown as the Rams secured the victory and the NFC's fifth seed with the playoffs set to commence next week. The NFL's reception leader could be busy against Carolina's talented secondary when Nacua and the Rams visit the Panthers in the wild-card round.

  • Brandon Allen QB | NYG

    Titans' Brandon Allen: First appearance of 2025 season

    Allen completed 17 of 30 passes for 72 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars.

    Allen was forced into the game at the start of Tennessee's second offensive possession to make his first appearance of the season. He went on to have a dismal performance, averaging only 2.4 yards per attempt, even with a long completion of 21 yards. Allen will hit free agency this offseason and will likely be competing for a backup job in 2026.

  • Brett Toth G | SF

    Eagles' Brett Toth: Ruled out Sunday

    Toth (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

    The backup lineman was evaluated for a possible concussion after a blow to the head earlier in the second half. Toth was playing left guard on a day when the Eagles were resting most of their starters, and Matt Pryor came in to replace him.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Four grabs in Week 18 win

    Schultz caught all four of his targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

    The veteran tight end wrapped up the regular season on a high note, catching at least three passes for a sixth straight game. Schultz set new career highs with 82 receptions on 106 targets over 17 games, turning that volume into 777 yards and three TDs. He'll remain a reliable chain-mover for C.J. Stroud heading into the playoffs, beginning with a wild-card round clash with the winner of Sunday night's AFC North battle between the Ravens and Steelers.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Held to 65 yards in Week 18

    Pollard rushed the ball 14 times for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars. He added three receptions on three targets for 17 yards.

    Pollard was unable to keep his recent level of play going, falling below 95 yards from scrimmage for the first time since Week 13. He still dominated work out of the Titans' backfield, however, and found enough running room to set a new career high of 1,082 rushing yards for the season. Pollard is set to enter the final year of his current contract with the Titans and is likely to remain the team's lead back in 2026.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Leading receiver Sunday

    Hutchinson caught five of nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

    With Nico Collins getting held out of the game ahead of the playoffs, Hutchinson stepped up to lead the Texans in catches and receiving yards, tying his season high in receptions while setting new high-water marks for 2025 in yardage and targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season with a career-best 35-428-3 line on 57 targets over 17 games, but he'll likely be a secondary option for C.J. Stroud in the wild-card round against the winner of Sunday night's AFC North clash between the Ravens and Steelers.

  • Theo Wease Jr. WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Theo Wease: Might have concussion

    Wease was evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    The wide receiver caught three passes for 44 yards on five targets before exiting. Wease entered the day with three catches for 95 yards and a touchdown on the year.
