| 2/24/2026 1:06:00 PM | Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Judkins (ankle) has shed his walking boot and is on track for the start of training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. |
| Judkins underwent successful surgery to address a dislocated right ankle in late December, and he's on track to enter 2026 at full health. As a rookie, the 2025 second-round pick logged 14 regular-season appearances, gaining 827 yards and seven touchdowns on 230 carries (3.6 YPC) while securing 26 of 36 targets for 171 receiving yards. He appears set to lead Cleveland's backfield next year, while 2025 fourth-round pick Dylan Sampson could be the favorite for the No. 2 role, as Jerome Ford is slated to become an unrestricted free agent. | |
| 2/17/2026 10:45:00 AM | The Seahawks are not expected to extend the franchise tag to Walker, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Seattle will have a number of tough roster decisions following the team's Super Bowl LX victory, with a contract extension for Jaxon Smith-Njigba likely being the top priority. Walker played a full 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career in 2025, rushing 221 times for 1,027 yards and five scores while securing 31 of 36 targets for 282 receiving yards. He was even more dominant during the postseason, culminating in Super Bowl MVP honors after he rushed for 135 yards versus the Patriots, adding two catches for 26 yards. The franchise tag would lock him into a 2026 salary of $14.5 million, however, which could be more than Seattle can afford. While the Seahawks could still attempt to sign Walker to an extension, it may be difficult for the team to compete with the offers the 25-year-old running back projects to receive on the open market. Seattle still also has Zach Charbonnet (knee) under contract, though after having suffered an ACL tear in the divisional round his availability for Week 1 is uncertain at best. | |

| questionable | |
| 2/11/2026 10:13:00 PM | Dobbs appeared in four regular-season games during the 2025 campaign and completed seven of his 10 pass attempts for 65 yards and carried the ball 10 times for minus-5 yards. |
| Dobbs served as Drake Maye's backup but saw action only in garbage time. Dobbs has one more year remaining on his contract and will likely continue to serve as New England's No. 2 quarterback during the 2026 season. | |
| 2/9/2026 9:23:00 PM | Jones made 11 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. |
| The Seahawks shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries (3.1 YPC). Jones was instrumental in that effort, as he was all season. The 2021 third-round pick rung up 151 tackles (80 solo), 0.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and six interceptions through 18 games, including the postseason. Jones has two years left on his contract and will carry a team-friendly $11.0 million cap hit in 2026 as the Seahawks look to defend their title. | |
| 2/8/2026 11:10:00 PM | Maye completed 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 29-13 loss in the Super Bowl to the Seahawks. He added five rushes for 37 yards and also lost a fumble. |
| It's unclear if a nagging shoulder injury impacted Maye's performance, but he was stymied by Seattle's defense for the vast majority of Super Bowl LX. He had 60 passing yards through three quarters, and his most meaningful contribution to the game came on consecutive passes early in the final quarter, with the Patriots down three scores, when he found Mack Hollins for gains of 24 and 35 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Maye's performance was otherwise dominated by negative plays, as he was sacked six times for a loss of 43 yards, and he also turned the ball over three times -- two of which led directly to touchdowns for the Seahawks. Though it was a disappointing close to the season, Maye had a breakout sophomore campaign by posting a 31:8 TD:INT while averaging 8.9 yards per attempt across 17 regular-season games. | |
| 2/8/2026 9:09:00 PM | Knight is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots. |
| Knight left the game in the third quarter after suffering a potential head injury. The strongside linebacker is a rotational part of the Seahawks' defensive and special teams units. If the 25-year-old cannot return to the game, starter Drake Thomas will likely need to take on a further increased snap share. | |
| 2/3/2026 12:20:00 PM | Van Noy recorded 20 total tackles (12 solo) including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defensed including one interception, across 15 games in 2025. |
| The 34-year-old edge rusher logged just 488 defensive snaps, and his 2.0 sacks marked his lowest output since 2016 with the Patriots. Van Noy struggled to get after the quarterback but contributed in coverage, recording the sixth-most passes defensed on the Ravens. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the veteran defender could draw interest from teams in need of pass-rush depth in 2026. | |
| 2/2/2026 5:33:00 PM | Baker accrued 120 tackles, including 0.5 sack, five pass defenses (one interception) and one fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games in 2025. |
| After posting a career-high 164 tackles during the 2024 campaign, Baker was a bit more muted in box scores this season, but he still finished with triple-digit stops for the sixth time in his nine-year career and was one of five defensive backs league wide to reach 120. He also picked off a pass for the first time since 2022. The 30-year-old has two years remaining on his current contract, so he should remain a top-tier IDP option this coming season. | |
| 1/27/2026 12:41:00 PM | Murray recorded 81 tackles (38 solo) including 1.0 sacks with two passes defended and a fumble recovery over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025. |
| The veteran linebacker was brought over from Tennessee in a March trade and was expected to be the centerpiece of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus' system, which has historically led to big numbers for linebackers. Instead, the 27-year-old Murray seemed lost in the scheme and failed to make much of an impact, as he didn't collect double-digit tackles in any game. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and with Dallas having moved on from Eberflus to bring Christian Parker over from Philadelphia as the new DC, Murray will likely have to find another employer. | |
| 1/19/2026 1:48:00 PM | Odunze said Monday that he will not require surgery this offseason to address the foot injury that forced him to miss the final five games of the regular season, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. |
| Odunze retook the field for both of Chicago's postseason contests, managing an identical 2-44-0 line on six targets in each game, though he initially was listed as questionable for both the wild-card and divisional rounds. Across 12 regular-season appearances, the 2024 first-round pick secured 44 of 90 targets for 661 yards and six touchdowns, with injuries seemingly hampering his ability to emerge as a true leader in a Bears pass-catching corps that also features wideouts DJ Moore and Luther Burden, as well as tight ends Colston Loveland (concussion) and Cole Kmet, all of whom remain under contract for 2026. | |
| 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. | |
| 1/12/2026 10:46:00 AM | Smith finished the 2025 regular season with 100 tackles (61 solo), including 2.0 sacks, 13 defensed passes, including one interception, and two fumble recoveries across 16 games. |
| The second-year pro had already displayed a penchant for solid tackle numbers and getting his hands on the ball during his 13-game rookie 2024 campaign, but Smith took a clear step forward in 2025 while holding down a starting role. The Georgia product logged a career-high 890 snaps from scrimmage, and he was in on 94 percent or greater of the defense's plays in all but his injury-shortened Week 14. Given his impressive development this season, Smith will head into 2026 ready to once again man the starting free safety role and form one of the league's best tandems at the position with Antoine Winfield. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:49:00 PM | McConkey had three receptions on four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots. |
| The Chargers failed to keep QB Justin Herbert upright against New England's aggressive pass rush Sunday, resulting in barely any shots being taken downfield in a muted performance by the offense. McConkey wound up leading the team in receiving and grabbing the longest reception (20 yards) of the night for his club despite registering a forgettable stat line in the season-ending loss. The sophomore had a down year in 2025, finishing the regular season with 16 fewer receptions, 360 less yards and one fewer touchdown in the same amount of games played as his stellar rookie campaign (82-1,149-7). McConkey will attempt to reestablish himself as one of Justin Herbert's top receiving options and budding stars of the league when the Chargers regroup this upcoming offseason. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:39:00 PM | Herbert completed 19 of 31 pass attempts for 159 yards and took 10 carries for 57 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots. |
| The narrative of Herbert falling flat in the playoffs grew louder Sunday after he failed to lead a touchdown drive against New England in another early-round exit. This comes on the heels of the signal-caller throwing four interceptions in last year's wild-card loss to the Texans. The 27-year-old finished the regular season throwing for 3,727 yards with 26 touchdowns to 13 interceptions across 16 starts, but he was without the services of his starting right tackle for the entire season, while star LT Joe Alt missed portions of the year (including Sunday's loss). Assuming Los Angeles' offensive line can hold up in 2026, Herbert should maintain startability as a fantasy option for the upcoming campaign. | |
| 1/11/2026 12:11:00 AM | Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and brought in one of three targets for one yard in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also returned two kickoffs for 61 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay. |
| After getting Week 18 off for rest, Jacobs came into Saturday's postseason matchup refreshed, but a Bears defense that had been vulnerable to the run at times was highly effective in cutting off his rushing lanes. Jacobs' long run of the night went for a modest 13 yards, meaning he netted just 42 yards on his other 18 carries. Jacobs had a quiet finish to the regular season as well since he generated just a 16-39-0 rushing line in his last two contests, and he finished the 2025 campaign having amassed 929 rushing yards (4.0 yards per carry), a 36-282-1 tally through the air on 44 targets and three fumbles (two lost) across 15 regular-season games. | |
| 1/10/2026 1:29:00 AM | Simmons recorded 67 tackles (39 solo) with 11.0 sacks and three forced fumbles across 15 games in 2025. |
| Simmons has been a key member of the Titans' defense since 2020, his second season, and he showed a newfound ability to get after the quarterback in 2025. In addition to his career-high 11.0 sacks, he also set a new best mark of 21 quarterback hits. Simmons remains a steady run defender, and he'll almost certainly be back with the Titans in 2026, as his most recent extension has two years remaining. | |
| 1/8/2026 8:09:00 PM | Okereke tallied six tackles (three solo), an interception and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-17 Week 18 win over Dallas. For the campaign, he posted 143 stops (including 1.0 sacks) along with six defenses passes (including two interceptions) across 17 contests. |
| Okereke came on strong in the turnover category late in the campaign, with both of his interceptions and his lone fumble recovery taking place over the final two weeks. Beyond that, the veteran linebacker put together another big season of tackling, leading New York with 143 stops and tying for 10th overall in the league in that category. Okereke missed five games due to injury last year, but he's otherwise been very durable, playing all 17 regular-season contests four of the past five campaigns. Okereke will be in the final season of his four-year contract next year. | |
| 1/6/2026 9:07:00 PM | Loop made 1-of-2 FG tries and 3-of-3 extra-point attempts against Pittsburgh in a 26-24 Week 18 loss Sunday. He finished the campaign having gone 30-for-34 on field-goal attempts and 44-for-46 on PAT tries. |
| Loop converted a 40-yard FG in the second quarter Sunday, but he came up wide right on a 44-yard game-winner attempt as time expired. That miss sealed a two-point Ravens loss and marked a stunning end to the team's season. Though Loop's miss will likely linger in the minds of Baltimore fans for some time, it isn't indicative of how the performed this season. The rookie out of Arizona made a steady 88.2 percent of his FG tries, and though he was just 1-for-4 from 50-plus yards out, his final kick of the campaign was his first FG miss on 30 tries from fewer than 50 yards. Loop figures to be back as Baltimore's kicker when the 2026-27 campaign begins in September. | |
| 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 12:28:00 PM | Santos did not attempt a kick in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. |
| Santos provided a stable weekly fantasy floor across the season, scoring fewer than six points in only two games while finishing with a high of 13 points. However, his efficiency continued to trend down after failing to top 84.0 percent accuracy for the second straight year. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 but offers limited upside relative to other fantasy kickers. | |
| 1/4/2026 10:44:00 PM | Lance completed 20 of 44 pass attempts for 136 yards and an interception while gaining 69 yards and losing a fumble on nine carries in Sunday's 19-3 loss to Denver. |
| QB Justin Herbert was a healthy scratch in Week 18 with the Chargers having little to play for regarding playoff seeding. This afforded Lance to make his first start of the season, and the results were mediocre as expected against one of the league's top defensive units. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was able to put his athleticism on display by gaining 69 rushing yards. That's where the good feedback ends, as Lance completed less than half of his 44 pass attempts, with his only touchdown pass going to the other team via a pick-six in the one-sided loss. Lance will resume his backup role behind Herbert when the Chargers visit the Patriots next Sunday for the wild-card round of the playoffs. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:32:00 PM | Jeudy caught two of six targets for 17 yards and added five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals. |
| While the veteran wideout's volume was poor, Jeudy's final catch of the game was huge -- he converted a third down with an 11-yard grab from Shedeur Sanders to help set up the game-winning field goal in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Jeudy had arguably the worst season of his NFL career in 2025, playing all 17 games but managing a poor 50-602-2 line on 106 targets as the Browns cycled through three different starting QBs. His prospects of a rebound in 2026 will depend on whether the organization can find a real solution under center this offseason. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:15:00 PM | Lamb caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 75 catches for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets. |
| Lamb posted the lowest touchdown total of his career and his fewest receiving yards since his 935-yard rookie regular season in 2020, as he was overshadowed by George Pickens' 93-1,423-9 receiving line in Dallas' receiving corps. The 26-year-old Lamb's 14 games played in 2025 were also a career low. Lamb is locked in with Dallas, having signed a four-year, $136 million extension in August of 2024, while Pickens is expected to re-sign with the team in the offseason. Despite boasting one of the league's best wide receiver duos, the Cowboys missed the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record. | |
| 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. | |
| 1/3/2026 8:08:00 PM | Irving rushed 26 times for 85 yards and brought in one of two targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. |
| Irving proved capable of handling a true workhorse role, logging a new career high in rush attempts. As his final implies, the Panthers made the second-year back work hard for his yards, but Irving was able to move the chains on five occasions, certainly a critical stat in what turned out to be a narrow win. Irving finishes his injury-hampered regular season with 588 rushing yards at just 3.4 yards per carry, but he'll have a chance for better production in the wild-card round next weekend if the Saints can upend or tie the Falcons on Sunday. | |
