Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Minimal output in reserve role
Washington caught six of 14 targets for 94 yards across seven regular-season games in 2025.
After being limited primarily to special-teams work during his 2024 rookie campaign (47 special-teams snaps and nine on offense), Washington logged a career-high 180 offensive snaps in 2025. Across his first two NFL seasons, the Illinois product has caught seven of 16 targets for 108 yards while operating as a depth piece in the Falcons' wide receiver room. Washington remains under contract through the 2027 season and is expected to retain a similar role for Atlanta next year.

Nate Carter RB | ATL
Falcons' Nathan Carter: Minimal offensive work in 2025
Carter rushed nine times for 60 yards across seven regular-season games in 2025.
Carter, an undrafted rookie from Michigan State, was active for just seven games this season, as he was buried behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in the Falcons' backfield. Seven of Carter's nine carries on the season came in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers, a game in which Atlanta was shut out. With Allgeier set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Carter could have the opportunity to compete for the Falcons' No. 2 running back role ahead of the 2026 season.

Dylan Drummond WR | ATL
Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Plays depth role in Atlanta
Drummond caught seven of 11 targets for 42 yards across nine regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he accumulated 110 kickoff-return yards.
Prior to his 2025 campaign with the Falcons, Drummond had appeared in just one NFL game with the Lions in 2023. He logged a career-high 121 offensive snaps and played a depth role in Atlanta's receiving corps, averaging 6.0 yards per reception. The Eastern Michigan product also showed value as a return man late in the season, recording 85 kickoff-return yards across the Falcons' last two regular-season contests. Drummond is under contract through the 2026 season, so he'll likely maintain a similar role next year.

David Sills WR | ATL
Falcons' David Sills: Career year in 2025
Sills caught 18 of 36 targets for 191 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
The 29-year-old wideout came on late in the season, accumulating 126 receiving yards across the Falcons' last four regular-season contests. He finished the year as Atlanta's fifth-leading receiver, trailing Drake London (919 yards) and Darnell Mooney (443 yards) in the WR corps. Sills is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but a return to Atlanta remains possible since the team's receiver depth is thin outside of London and Mooney.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Sidelined for most of 2025
Oliver recorded one reception on his only target for eight yards across three games in the 2025 season.
Oliver suffered a knee injury in Week 2, which kept him sidelined until the season finale. His only reception of the campaign came in Week 1, and he played primarily on special teams when healthy.
-
Mason Kinsey WR | TEN
Titans' Mason Kinsey: Active for 10 games
Kinsey recorded two receptions on four targets for 48 yards across 10 games in the 2025 season.
Kinsey didn't appear in a game until Week 7, as he spent the early portions of the season on Tennessee's practice squad. He played primarily on special teams for the rest of the campaign, logging one reception in Weeks 11 and 17, respectively. Kinsey's 48 yards were the highest mark for a season in his five-year career.

James Proche WR | TEN
Titans' James Proche: Modest role in Tennessee
Proche recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards across nine games with the Titans during the 2025 season.
Proche spent all season with Tennessee, starting with the practice squad before being permanently signed to the active roster in Week 12. He made an immediate impact in that contest, logging three receptions for 42 yards. Proche didn't log more than one catch in any remaining contests of the season, though it was still one of the more productive campaigns of his six-year career.
-
Kalel Mullings RB | TEN
Titans' Kalel Mullings: Three carries in 2025
Mullings recorded three rushes for seven yards across nine games for the Titans during the 2025 season.
Mullings was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 draft and managed to stick on the Titans' roster all season. He hurt his ankle in Week 1 and was sidelined until Week 12. Mullings primarily contributed on special teams from there, logging only 12 of his 149 total snaps in his rookie campaign on offense.

Moliki Matavao TE | NO
Saints' Moliki Matavao: Logs two catches in 2025
Matavao finished the 2025 season with two receptions (on two targets) for 10 yards in six appearances for the Saints.
Matavao opened his 2025 rookie season in a special-teams role before he was let go and joined the Saints' practice squad. The seventh-rounder spent time on and off the active roster toward the end of the season, as New Orleans dealt with a rash of injuries, including season-ending injuries for tight ends Foster Moreau (ankle) and Jack Stoll (knee). Matavao will look to carve out a larger role in 2026.

Lavonte David OLB | TB
Buccaneers' Lavonte David: Another productive season in '25
David recorded 114 tackles (61 solo), including 3.5 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games during the 2025 season.
David played 17 games for the third time in the last four seasons, once again serving as the iron man of the Buccaneers' defense in his age-35 season. The standout linebacker recorded at least nine tackles on six occasions, and he posted multiple sacks and forced fumbles for the second consecutive campaign while eclipsing the 100-tackle mark for the fourth straight season as well. David played the 2025 season on a one-year, $9 million deal, and it remains to be seen if he and the team will come to terms on extending their working relationship for a 15th season.
