| 2/5/2026 11:01:00 PM | Stafford was named the 2025 Most Valuable Player on Thursday. |
| As expected, Stafford's primary competition for the award was Drake Maye, with only one first-place vote separating the players. It was Stafford's first MVP award, which was well earned after he recorded a career-best 46 touchdowns while turning the ball over only 11 times across 17 regular-season games. While his future was uncertain after being eliminated in the NFC Championship Game by Seattle, Stafford indicated that he will return for the 2026 season during his acceptance speech, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. | |
| 2/5/2026 9:55:00 PM | Bonitto underwent surgery on his wrist in early February, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports. |
| Bonitto played with a club on his wrist for most of the season, but he still managed to suit up for all 17 regular-season games while logging 14.0 sacks. The surgery was described as a clean-up procedure, so it doesn't appear that his offseason will be significantly impacted. | |
| 2/5/2026 9:21:00 PM | Cooper (ankle) recorded 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games in 2025. |
| The linebacker also recorded eight stops (six solo) in Green Bay's wild-card playoff game against Chicago before leaving with an ankle injury. While the injury will be worth monitoring as the offseason progresses, Cooper firmly established himself as a centerpiece of Green Bay's defense in 2025, finishing second on the team in tackles. The 2024 second-round pick should play a big role again in the fall. | |
| 2/5/2026 7:53:00 PM | Spillane (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. |
| The inside linebacker and New England's leading tackler during the regular season suffered the injury during the AFC Championship Game, had to leave that game early and hadn't practiced since then before Thursday. Spillane did say even before Thursday that he was confident he'd be good to go for the Super Bowl, and his return to practice shows that he is trending in the right direction. The former Raider recorded six stops in each of New England's first two playoff victories, games in which he played most of the snaps. | |
| 2/5/2026 7:43:00 PM | Hamilton (concussion) intercepted a pass during Tuesday's Pro Bowl flag football game. |
| The All-Pro safety suffered a concussion during Baltimore's Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh and had to exit in the second half. His participation in the Pro Bowl Games suggests he's past the issue. That's good for the Ravens, who committed to their 2022 first-round pick, who has made an All-Pro team after each of the last three seasons, with a four-year, $100.4 million extension last August. | |
| 1/18/2026 11:46:00 PM | Monangai rushed 13 times for 36 yards while hauling in all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams in the divisional round. |
| Monangai struggled to gain traction in Sunday's snowy playoff loss (2.8 YPC), but his solid effort as a receiver helped buoy his fantasy score. D'Andre Swift (19-76-0) had the superior day on the ground, but neither back was able to hit pay dirt as Chicago's 2025 campaign comes to a close. The seventh-round rookie broke onto the scene as a change-of-pace back behind Swift to begin the year, carving out a significant role on offense while finishing the regular season with a 169-783-5 rushing line across 17 appearances. Swift and Monangai should continue working in tandem out of the gates in 2026, with the latter possessing tantalizing upside in fantasy for his upcoming sophomore season. | |
| 1/18/2026 7:36:00 PM | Higgins caught six of 10 targets for 59 yards in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday. |
| The rookie wideout led Houston in catches and receiving yards with Nico Collins (concussion) unavailable, but it was Christian Kirk who caught C.J. Stroud's only TD pass of the day. Higgins put together a respectable rookie season after being a second-round pick out of Iowa State, playing all 17 regular-season games and posting a 41-525-6 line on 68 targets. With Kirk a free agent this offseason, Higgins may have shown enough to dissuade the Texans from bringing in veteran competition for the No. 2 receiver role. | |
| 1/18/2026 5:20:00 PM | Garoppolo (back) is active for Sunday's divisional-round contest versus the Bears. |
| Garoppolo popped up with a back issue on Thursday's injury report, but he'll still suit up and maintain his role as Los Angeles' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford. Meanwhile, Stetson Bennett (coach's decision) will operate as the emergency No. 3 quarterback, and he will only be eligible to enter if both Garoppolo and Stafford are forced out. | |
| 1/18/2026 2:03:00 AM | Pearsall did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. |
| Pearsall missed San Francisco's last two games with a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the season, though he managed to return after logging limited practices throughout the week. The 49ers seemingly made an effort to get him involved early with a target on the first play from scrimmage, though he ultimately wasn't prioritized in the offense. Pearsall was a popular breakout candidate in 2025, but the knee issue ultimately robbed him of the opportunity. If he is able to stay healthy heading into the 2026 season, he should still have the chance to be a priority in the offense. | |
| 1/17/2026 9:05:00 PM | Cook rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Bills' 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also lost a fumble. |
| Cook put together an impressive day on the ground against an elite defense, finishing with his 10th 100-yard rushing performance since the start of the regular season and bouncing back in noteworthy fashion from his 46-yard effort versus the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card victory. Cook's second-quarter lost fumble had a significant impact, however, as it came at the Broncos' 30-yard line and eventually led to a Denver touchdown. The disappointing team outcome aside, Cook's productive day Saturday was a fitting cap to a career-best regular season, one where he won the NFL rushing yardage title with 1,621 yards while averaging 5.2 yards per carry, scored 12 rushing touchdowns, and generated a 33-291-2 line on 40 targets while committing six fumbles, losing three, across 17 games. | |
| 1/11/2026 12:27:00 AM | Doubs brought in eight of 11 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown while also recovering a fumble in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. |
| Doubs easily led the Packers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and he hauled in one of Jordan Love's four touchdown passes from one yard out on the first play following the two-minute warning in the second quarter. The veteran wideout also had a key 34-yard reception on a fourth-quarter drive that would have likely sealed a win for the Packers had it not ended in a Brandon McManus missed field goal with 2:56 remaining. Doubs put together another solid regular season as well, compiling a 55-724-6 line on 85 targets and recording a career-high 12 receptions of 20-plus yards while adding 94 punt-return yards across 16 games. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year. | |
| 1/8/2026 3:47:00 PM | Lloyd recorded 81 tackles (35 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also logged seven passes defensed, including five interceptions, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown. |
| Lloyd failed to tally 100 total tackles for the first time in his career in 2025, but he remained reliable against the run while emerging as a legitimate playmaker elsewhere on defense for Jacksonville, especially in coverage. The 2022 first-round pick will look to continue wreaking havoc in the postseason, beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Bills. Lloyd is currently playing out the final year of his rookie deal, and he's positioned to become a coveted unrestricted free agent this offseason. | |
| 1/6/2026 7:46:00 PM | Dicker made his lone field goal during the Chargers' 19-3 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. |
| The Chargers struggled to generate any offense Sunday with Trey Lance under center instead of Justin Herbert (coach's decision), but Dicker put the team on the board with a 30-yard chip shot as time expired in the first half. It was another productive season for Dicker, as he went 38-for-41 (92.7 percent) on field-goal attempts over 16 regular-season games to finish third in the NFL in made field goals behind Ka'imi Fairbairn (44) and Jason Myers (41). However, Dicker connected on just five of six field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards, which was his lowest over the last three years. | |
| 1/6/2026 3:52:00 PM | Mevis connected on all three field-goal attempts and all four PAT tries during Sunday's 37-20 victory against the Cardinals. |
| It was more of the same for Mevis, who has been rock solid since taking over the starting kicker role from Joshua Karty in Week 10. Over his nine games as the starter, Mevis was a perfect 39-for-39 on extra-point tries and 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts, with the lone miss a costly one in overtime against the Seahawks in Week 16. Despite the lone blemish on his record, Mevis has proven to be a reliable option at kicker for the Rams, something they've sorely lacked since the departure of Matt Gay after the 2022 season. The Rams likely will extend a contract offer to Mevis, an exclusive-rights free agent, after the playoffs, but for now he'll prepare for a wild-card round showdown against the Panthers on Saturday. | |
| 1/6/2026 12:57:00 PM | Dodson tallied 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, including one interception, plus one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. |
| Dodson managed the first 100-tackle season of his NFL career while joining Jordyn Brooks as the only every-down starter in Miami's linebacker corps. He's slated to play out the final year of his contract with the Dolphins in 2026. Dodson will be a solid bet to reach the 100-tackle threshold again in 2026 as long as the offseason additions Miami brings to the linebacker corps don't threaten to infringe on his starting role. | |
| 1/6/2026 11:36:00 AM | Pratt made five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to the Texans. |
| Pratt began the 2025 campaign with Las Vegas, where he totaled 25 tackles (10 solo) and two passes defensed before being cut. He quickly linked up with Indianapolis, logging another 12 regular-season appearances and compiling 101 tackles (57 solo), four passes defensed (including one interception), plus one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. The veteran linebacker is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. | |
| 1/5/2026 4:02:00 PM | Bridgewater said Monday that he wants to continue playing in the NFL next season but has yet to speak with the Buccaneers about a potential return, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. |
| Bridgewater is set to become a free agent this offseason. The 33-year-old appeared in four games for Tampa Bay in 2025 and saw extended action in Week 12 against the Rams when Baker Mayfield exited with a shoulder injury. Bridgewater completed eight out of 15 passes for 62 yards and rushed three times for four yards in that one game where he generated any statistics. Should the 10th-year pro reach free agency, he could draw interest from teams in need of a veteran backup in their QB room. | |
| 1/5/2026 12:01:00 AM | Ferguson caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. |
| Ferguson was able to play in Week 18 after opening the week limited at practice with a calf issue, but he was limited to just one catch for the second straight week. The tight end sputtered into the finish line this season, failing to reach 20 receiving yards in each of his final four contests. Ferguson completed his fourth campaign in Dallas having reeled in a career-high 82 passes on 102 targets for 600 yards and eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and he'll likely enter next year as the team's undisputed No. 1 tight end. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:14:00 PM | Mason carried the ball 14 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. |
| With Aaron Jones (hip) ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, Mason led the backfield with his best yardage total since Week 3. Fullback C.J. Ham vultured a one-yard TD run in the second quarter, however. Mason finishes his first season in Minnesota with 758 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 159 carries, and with both Jones and Mason on affordable contracts in 2026, the duo will likely remain in some form of timeshare next season. | |
| 1/4/2026 4:46:00 PM | Robinson rushed 15 times for 33 yards and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday. |
| Fresh off a memorable 195-yard effort on the ground against the Rams on Monday night, Robinson was stonewalled -- albeit while having a rushing touchdown called back due to an offensive holding penalty -- by a Saints defense that had frequently been vulnerable to the run over the course of the season. Robinson's yardage tally on the ground was his lowest since Week 8, but despite Sunday's downturn, the 2023 first-round pick finished the 2025 campaign with a career-high 1,478 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns and a career-best 79-820-4 receiving line while playing in all 17 games for the second consecutive season. | |
| 1/3/2026 8:57:00 PM | Evans brought in both targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. |
| Evans contributed 21- and 13-yard gains on his pair of catches, but the Panthers did a good job overall on limiting receiver production, which opened up plenty of opportunity for tight end Cade Otton. It was a quiet finish to an injury-shortened season for Evans, who appeared in a career-low eight games and posted a 30-368-3 line on 62 targets. The talented veteran will look to continue his season in next weekend's wild-card round, which will be made possible if the Saints tie or defeat the Falcons on Sunday. | |
| 1/3/2026 8:19:00 PM | Mayfield completed 16 of 22 passes for 203 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed four times for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He also fumbled once but recovered. |
| Mayfield averaged an impressive 9.2 yards per attempt while connecting with both Mike Evans and Cade Otton for passes of 20-plus yards. The veteran signal-caller's only touchdown toss came early on, as he connected with Otton from 18 yards out to cap off a nine-play game-opening drive. Mayfield repeatedly focused on Otton throughout the afternoon for several more productive gains, although his one interception in the second quarter at his own 39-yard line did lead to a Panthers touchdown. Mayfield wraps up the 2025 regular season with the lowest completion percentage (63.2) and passing yardage total (3,693) of his three-year Buccaneers tenure, but he and his teammates will be pulling for the Saints to defeat or tie the Falcons on Sunday in order to be able to continue playing in next weekend's wild-card round as the NFC South champions. | |
| 12/10/2025 11:52:00 AM | Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Benson (knee) will not be activated from IR, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2025 season, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. |
| Benson had his 21-day practice window opened in late November, and he initially managed limited on-field activity before being downgraded to consistent non-participant status. Instead, Bam Knight, Emari Demercado (ankle) and Michael Carter will handle Arizona's backfield reps for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Carter, a 2024 third-round pick, had initially seemed primed for a substantial opportunity after starting running back James Conner (foot) went down to season-ending injury Week 3. Ultimately, Benson's durability concerns make his expected role murky for the 2026 season, which will be the last year of Conner's contract with the Cardinals. | |
