| 2/4/2026 6:28:00 PM | Dalton completed 25 of 37 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and one interception across four regular-season appearances during the 2025 season. |
| Dalton made one start in place of an injured Bryce Young in Week 8 against the Bills but guided the offense to just nine points in a 40-9 blowout loss. Dalton will turn 39 years old later this year and is under contract through the 2026 campaign at a reasonable $3.9 million salary. He should be back as Young's backup next season. | |
| 2/3/2026 12:46:00 PM | Milano recorded 67 total tackles (36 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 12 regular-season appearances in 2025. |
| Entering the 2025 season, Milano had played just nine regular-season games over the past two years due to a plethora of injuries. His 12 appearances this year marked his highest total since the 2022 campaign. The 31-year-old remained an impactful defender when on the field, ranking third among Buffalo defenders in both total tackles and sacks. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Milano will likely land a short-term deal with a team in need of a starting-caliber inside linebacker ahead of the 2026 season, though he's never played for anybody but the Bills and could be back. | |
| 1/25/2026 10:46:00 PM | Smith-Njigba hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win against the Rams in the NFC Championship Game. |
| Smith-Njigba was far busier in the NFC Championship Game after a run-heavy game script limited the star wideout to a 3-19-1 receiving line against the 49ers in the wild-card round. The league's leading receiver simply couldn't be covered Sunday as he routinely created separation from whatever defender Los Angeles assigned to cover him. JSN was particularly wide open when he hit pay dirt after lining up out of the backfield in the closing moments of the second quarter, giving Seattle the lead heading into halftime. Smith-Njigba has risen to the occasion at every step during his breakout 2025 campaign, culminating in his greatest opportunity to shine on Feb. 8 against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX. | |
| 1/18/2026 11:59:00 PM | Moore hauled in five of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on one rush attempt in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams. |
| Moore scored the game's first touchdown in the second quarter, but it wasn't enough to lift the Bears past the divisional round of the playoffs. The 28-year-old saw his production dip significantly for the second year in a row after finishing with a 50-682-6 receiving line across 17 starts during the regular season. Moore did take on a larger role once the playoffs got under way, as he averaged 5.5 receptions and 58.0 yards while scoring a touchdown in each of his two appearances. Despite the veteran wideout's diminishing production in the regular season, Moore should retain his starting job with Chicago after signing a four-year, $110 million contract back in 2024. | |
| 1/18/2026 10:56:00 PM | Williams completed 23 of 42 pass attempts for 257 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions while taking five carries for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss in the divisional round to the Rams. |
| Williams found himself in familiar territory in Sunday's divisional round matchup when he was staring at a deficit in the fourth quarter that required him to pull off a heroic comeback. The sophomore signal-caller accomplished what appeared impossible when he scrambled backwards 10-plus yards before chucking a prayer to the end zone on fourth down that TE Cole Kmet came down with to send the contest to overtime. The magic ran out for Williams and the Bears in the extra period when Rams S Kamren Curl laid out for an athletic interception that ultimately ended Chicago's playoff run. The 23-year-old Williams made strides from the pocket in his first year under head coach Ben Johnson, amassing 3,942 passing yards with 27 touchdowns to seven interceptions across 17 starts in the regular season. The USC product struggled with turnovers in two postseason contests (four TDs to five INTs), something he will look to clean up in future postseason appearances, but Williams' overall performance has the future looking bright in Chicago. | |
| 1/13/2026 4:21:00 PM | The Bears placed Edwards (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday. |
| Edwards will miss the remainder of Chicago's postseason run due to a a fractured fibula suffered during Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers. The loss of Edwards is particularly significant for Chicago, given that the team also placed Noah Sewell (Achilles) on IR in late December. In Edwards' stead, Amen Ogbongbemiga (concussion) may get a chance to start Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams, if healthy. | |
| 1/13/2026 12:05:00 PM | General manager Dan Morgan announced Tuesday that Carolina plans to exercise the 2027 team option on Young's contract this offseason, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. |
| Young's fifth-year option is projected to come in at around $26.5 million and will be fully guaranteed. While the Panthers' willingness to pick up the option represents some level of commitment to the 24-year-old signal-caller, Young may need to make more dramatic strides in 2026 in order to land a long-term extension. He showed some modest improvement in Year 3, leading an 8-9 Panthers squad to its first NFC South title in a decade while directing six game-winning drives. Young completed 304 of 478 pass attempts for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions to go with 216 yards and two scores on 54 carries over 16 starts during the regular season. A respectable showing against the heavily favored Rams in the wild-card round this past weekend will also be a confidence booster for the QB heading into 2026. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:08:00 PM | Wilson recorded 126 tackles (74 solo), including two sacks, along with an interception, two pass defenses and a fumble recovery while appearing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Wilson showed promise as a rookie in 2024 with 78 tackles (49 solo), an interception, two pass defenses, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a touchdown, and he took a step forward in his second professional season by leading the Steelers in tackles. He had four games with double-digit tackles and should remain heavily involved in the playoffs and during the 2026 campaign. | |
| 1/11/2026 6:25:00 PM | Etienne carried the ball 10 times for 67 yards and caught all five of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round Sunday. |
| The 26-year-old back capped his first playoff appearance since 2022 with a 14-yard TD catch from Trevor Lawrence in the fourth quarter that briefly gave Jacksonville a 24-20 lead, but which left over four minutes on the clock for Josh Allen to answer back. Etienne heads into potential free agency this offseason having produced 1,399 scrimmage yards and a career-high 13 TDs (seven rushing, six receiving) over 17 regular-season games, and he could draw significant interest from teams in need of backfield help if the Jags elect to let him walk away. | |
| 1/11/2026 1:10:00 AM | Barton recorded 81 tackles (37 solo) with 1.0 sacks and three interceptions across 17 games in 2025. |
| Barton signed a significant three-year deal with the Titans prior to the 2025 season with the idea that he'd lead the linebacker corps. However, Cedric Gray instead emerged into that role, while Barton disappointed. He was fairly effective in coverage --his three picks were a career high -- but he struggled in run defense and logged his lowest tackle total since 2021, when he played primarily on special teams. | |
| 1/10/2026 9:56:00 PM | Hubbard rushed the ball 13 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round loss to the Rams. He added two receptions on four targets for 13 yards. |
| Hubbard worked as the clear lead back, out-touching Rico Dowdle 15-6. While he didn't break any explosive plays or work very efficiently, Hubbard did manage to punch in a pair of scores from one and three yards, respectively. He will be a difficult player to assess for 2026, as he worked behind Dowdle for much of the 2025 campaign. However, he regained a more significant role in the offense late in the season, while Dowdle is set to become a free agent. | |
| 1/9/2026 1:27:00 PM | Cooper recorded 50 tackles (23 solo), including 8.0 sacks, and four passes defensed over 17 games in 2025. |
| Cooper continued to be a key contributor for Denver's top-tier pass rushing unit in 2025, recording the second-most sacks of any Broncos defender behind only Nik Bonitto (14.0). The 28-year-old linebacker signed a four-year extension in 2024, keeping Cooper and Bonitto under contract together for the foreseeable future. Cooper's continued development should help him to build upon his performance as one of the leaders of Denver's defense in 2026. | |
| 1/9/2026 1:21:00 PM | Jets GM Darren Mougey said at Tuesday's end-of-season press conference that the team would like to retain Hall (knee) but wouldn't go into specifics regarding whether the Jets are open to using the franchise tag on the pending unrestricted free agent, Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reports. |
| Hall sat out the Jets' regular-season finale due to a knee injury after posting a career-high 1,065 rushing yards across the previous 16 games. The versatile playmaker has accrued 5,040 yards from scrimmage in 56 regular-season games since being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but Hall has yet to get a taste of NFL postseason action. Hall's likely to have a robust market in free agency, but the Jets could try to bring him back for his age-25 season on the franchise tag if Hall isn't interested in a long-term extension to stay in New York. | |
| 1/7/2026 4:46:00 PM | Sherwood recorded 154 tackles (71 solo), including 2.0 sacks, as well as eight passes defensed while playing all 17 games in 2025. |
| Sherwood posted similar numbers to his 158-tackle campaign in 2024, leading the Jets in tackles for the second consecutive season. Having signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Jets in March, Sherwood's poised to reprise his role as the team's top middle linebacker for his age-26 season in 2026. | |
| 1/7/2026 12:17:00 AM | Tucker rushed four times for minus-4 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He also returned three kickoffs for 57 yards. |
| Despite his forgettable finish to the season, Tucker rushed for a career-high 320 yards and seven touchdowns on 86 carries while adding an 8-34-1 receiving line and a career-high 597 kickoff return yards across 17 games. He logged only 36 more rush attempts than in 2024 despite the fact that Bucky Irving missed seven games due to foot and shoulder injuries. However, Tucker became a preferred red-zone option down the stretch with 24 touches. He will presumably have an inside track on the No. 2 role in the backfield next season with Rachaad White expected to depart in free agency. | |
| 1/6/2026 8:18:00 PM | Aubrey made 36 of his 42 field-goal tries and converted 47 of his 48 extra-point attempts in 17 games with Dallas in 2025. |
| After finishing first in fantasy points among NFL kickers in 2023 and second in 2024, Aubrey finished third in 2025 behind only Jason Myers and Ka'imi Fairbairn. He remained all but automatic for the purposes of PATs, but he was a bit less accurate from distance compared to his 2022 and 2023 numbers, especially down the stretch, when he hit just two of his six attempts of 50-plus yards during the final four games of the season. Fantasy investors will be watching closely to see if the Cowboys extend their contract with Aubrey for 2026 and possibly beyond this offseason, as he has been helped along by strong offenses and by getting to play half of his games within the friendly confines of AT&T Stadium. | |
| 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. | |
| 1/4/2026 10:30:00 PM | McLaurin recorded four receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles. |
| McLaurin was the only pass catcher to get anything going for the Commanders, as Josh Johnson managed just 131 passing yards. McLaurin made a long catch of 25 yards early in the second quarter, though he also drew four defensive penalties, two of which helped keep touchdown drives alive. McLaurin endured a tough 2025 season due to his own struggles to stay on the field, as well as Jayden Daniels (elbow) missing a significant portion of the year. However, McLaurin should have a strong chance to bounce back in 2026, as he had logged five consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards entering the current campaign. | |
| 1/4/2026 9:07:00 PM | Jeanty rushed the ball 26 times for 87 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He added three receptions on five targets for seven yards. |
| Jeanty unsurprisingly remained the focal point of the offense, logging over 25 total touches for the second time in his last three games. He didn't find much running room, though he did manage two rushes of at least 10 yards. Jeanty ultimately finished his rookie campaign with 1,321 yards from scrimmage while falling only 25 rushing yards short of 1,000. The Raiders secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft despite the win and are almost certain to select a quarterback, so Jeanty should have a better supporting cast around him for his sophomore campaign. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:18:00 PM | Jefferson caught eight of 11 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. |
| Jefferson endured a tough season due to the Vikings' issues at quarterback, but with his first 100-yard performance since Week 5, the superstar wideout was able to record his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign to begin his career. Jefferson wraps up the season with an 84-1,048-2 line on 141 targets, the worst yardage and touchdown totals of his career. One of Minnesota's biggest priorities this offseason will be finding a way to build chemistry between J.J. McCarthy (hand) and his most talented target. | |
| 1/4/2026 12:15:00 PM | Fitzgerald missed his only field-goal try but converted on both point-after attempts during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers. |
| Fitzgerald came up short on a 54-yard field-goal try in the third quarter of Saturday's loss. It was a miss that proved costly, as the Panthers lost by just two points. The rookie kicker from Florida State appeared in all 17 of Carolina's regular-season games in 2025, making 24 of 29 field-goal attempts and 27 of 30 point-after tries. However, he struggled from long range, converting on just two of five field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Under contract through the 2027 season, Fitzgerald is expected to at least compete for Carolina's top placekicker role heading into the 2026 season. | |
| 12/16/2025 7:05:00 PM | Bagent (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice. |
| Bagent was unable to serve as Caleb Williams' backup quarterback during Sunday's win over the Browns due to an illness. By working in full Tuesday, Bagent is on track to be available against the Packers on Saturday, so Case Keenum will likely revert to the QB3 role. | |
