| 1/9/2026 12:09:00 PM | Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Bernard (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports. |
| Bernard previously missed Week 18 due to his calf injury, and McDermott has yet to offer a clear estimate for the starting linebacker's recovery timeframe. For Sunday's playoff contest against Jacksonville, both Dorian Williams and Joe Andreessen will be candidates to see increased work on defense in Bernard's absence. | |
| 1/8/2026 9:34:00 PM | Lawrence playing in all 17 games during the regular season, recording 31 tackles (including 0.5 sacks) and four defensed passes (including an interception). |
| Lawrence looked like he could be emerging as an elite sack artist after recording 9.0 sacks through seven games last season, but since then he's managed just a half-sack across 22 contests. The big man was still good against the run and tangentially helped New York's pass rush, but his numbers as a fantasy IDP were far from alluring. Lawrence has two years remaining on the contract extension he signed in 2024. | |
| 1/8/2026 9:24:00 PM | Werner finished the 2025 season with 81 tackles (50 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and five passes defended across 17 appearances. |
| Werner posted 80 or more tackles for the fourth year in a row, and he played every regular-season game for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old finished third on the Saints in tackles behind fellow inside linebacker Demario Davis (143) and cornerback Alontae Taylor (83). As long as Davis continues playing for New Orleans, Werner figures to remain in a secondary role in 2026. | |
| 1/8/2026 8:49:00 PM | Burns totaled 67 tackles, including 16.5 sacks, along with seven defensed passes, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 games during the 2025-26 campaign. |
| Burns started the season on a heater with 5.0 sacks over his first four games and never looked back. His ultimate total of 16.5 sacks was as many as he recorded over the previous two season combined, established a new career-best mark, and ranked second in the NFL. Burns earned his third Pro Bowl nod for his outstanding campaign and certainly justified the five-year, $141 contract he received from New York in March of 2024. | |
| 1/7/2026 8:41:00 PM | Jones finished the regular season completing 70 percent of his pass attempts for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions across 11 games. |
| All of Jones' passing production came in eight spot-starts spanning Weeks 2-11 while 49ers starter Brock Purdy recovered from a turf toe injury. The 26-year-old Jones thrived under head coach Kyle Shanahan in 2025, finishing with the highest completion rate (70 percent) and average attempt distance (7.4 YPA) of his career. Despite the backup's improved play, the coaching staff was steadfast in naming Purdy the starter once he was healthy enough to suit up. Jones remains under contract with San Francisco for the 2026 season, when he'll likely serve as one of the league's best insurance policies under center. The 2021 first-round pick won't have any value in fantasy drafts -- barring a catastrophic injury to Purdy this postseason -- but Jones' improved play makes him a reliable option to stream if he is asked to start at any point next year. | |
| 1/7/2026 7:09:00 PM | Oluokun recorded eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans. |
| It was a solid finish to the regular season for Oluokun, whose 143 total tackles across 17 games tied for 10th in the NFL. It's the sixth straight campaign with triple-digit tackles for the 30-year-old. He also recorded one sack, one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 2025. Oluokun restructured his contract with the Jaguars in November to free up some cap space, so he's a safe bet to be back for 2026 and is likely to continue to be one of the most prolific tacklers in the league. | |
| 1/7/2026 2:41:00 PM | Allen (foot) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice report. |
| Allen didn't practice much last week, and he was removed from the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets after taking just one snap (in order to extend his consecutive starts streak). There was never much concern about his availability for the playoffs, with Allen now in line for full practice participation ahead of Sunday's game in Jacksonville. | |
| 1/7/2026 1:01:00 PM | Tucker caught two of six targets for 30 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished the regular season with 57 receptions for 696 yards and five touchdowns on 92 targets, adding 11 rushes for 51 yards over 17 games. |
| Tucker set career highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns as a pass catcher this season, pacing the team with 696 receiving yards. The 24-year-old wideout operated as the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver following the trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars, leaving him and tight end Brock Bowers as the two top pass-catching options in a struggling Raiders offense. Tucker will enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and it stands to reason that the team saw enough out of him this season to continue to feature him as one of the focal points of the Raiders' aerial attack next season. Nonetheless, Tucker and the rest of the skill-position players suffered from subpar quarterback this year, capping their output. For the Cincinnati product to build upon his success this season, the Raiders will need to figure out a way to cure their offensive woes. | |
| 1/6/2026 6:58:00 PM | Trubisky completed 22 of 29 passes for 259 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He also rushed five times for five yards. |
| He took over after Josh Allen was under center for the first snap to keep his streak of 135 consecutive starts intact. Trubisky led Buffalo's offense effortlessly against an outmatched New York defense, turning in one of the best statistical performances of his nine-year NFL career. He'll revert to a backup role beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars. Trubisky concludes the regular season having completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 313 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing nine times for six yards, over four appearances. | |
| 1/6/2026 12:49:00 PM | Patterson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Patriots. |
| Patterson ultimately started all 17 regular-season games for Miami with Jason Sanders (hip) never gaining clearance to return from IR. In that span, Patterson converted 27 of 29 field-goal attempts and 34 of 35 extra-point tries, operating as one of the league's most accurate kickers. Patterson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason while Sanders remains under contract with the Dolphins. With that, Patterson may need to compete for a starting gig elsewhere in the league for the 2026 season. | |
| 1/6/2026 11:33:00 AM | Franklin tallied 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to the Texans. |
| Franklin struggled in 2025, as despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games, his total of 125 tackles (62 solo), including 2.0 sacks, represents a notable decline after he had surpassed 165 tackles in each of the prior three seasons. The 32-year-old also had five passes defensed and one forced fumble in 2025. Franklin has two seasons remaining his three-year, $31.3 million contract with the Colts, but the team has a potential "out" this offseason for only $2.5 million in dead cap. | |
| 1/6/2026 11:19:00 AM | Grupe converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-30 loss to Houston. |
| Grupe was perfect across his five-regular season appearances with Indianapolis, converting all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. He struggled more across his 11 regular-season appearances with the Saints, however, going 18-of-26 on field-goal attempts while nailing all 15 of his PATs in those games. He will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning the Colts will have the option to extend Grupe a one-year tender that would prevent him from negotiating with other teams. | |
| 1/5/2026 3:19:00 PM | San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he expects Purdy (shoulder) to be a full participant in practice throughout the week leading up to Sunday's wild-card game at Philadelphia, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. |
| Though Purdy took every snap in this past Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks, he sustained what Shanahan labeled as a "stinger" when he was hit by a defender on the 49ers' final offensive play of the game. Shanahan relayed that Purdy would have been able to return to the Week 18 contest had the 49ers gotten the ball back, and the coach was even more adamant in his conviction that the quarterback would be available for the postseason opener after Purdy checked out fine upon getting evaluated further following Saturday's game. Purdy concluded the regular season having completed 197 of 284 pass attempts (69.4 percent) for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions to go with 147 yards and three more scores on 33 carries across his nine appearances. | |
| 1/5/2026 10:55:00 AM | Addison recorded an eight-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers. |
| Top wideout Justin Jefferson (8-101-0 receiving line on 11 targets) was able to turn in a productive game against a Green Bay squad that was resting several key players ahead of the playoffs, but there little target volume left over for the Vikings' other pass catchers. After serving a three-game suspension to begin his third NFL season, Addison suited up for the final 14 contests and produced a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets while adding 81 rushing yards and another score on two carries. Though his average of 14.5 yards per catch was a career-best mark, Addison took a big step back in Year 3 in terms of touchdown and reception volume, largely due to subpar quarterback play. The wideout's outlook may not be dramatically better in 2026, barring drastic improvement from J.J. McCarthy (hand) or Minnesota looking outside the organization for an upgrade under center. | |

| 1/4/2026 11:21:00 PM | Allgeier rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's win over New Orleans. |
| After rushing 137 times for 644 yards and three touchdowns across 17 appearances last season, Allgeier handed essentially the same amount of carries in 2025, finishing with a 143-514-8 rushing line. He added 14 catches for 96 scoreless yards. Allgeier's eight touchdowns marked a new career high for the 25-year-old, who handled a sizable chunk of the goal-line work for Atlanta. After spending four seasons with the Falcons, Allgeier is scheduled to be a free agent in the offseason. There's a chance he could land a starting job elsewhere as an early-down back. | |
| 1/4/2026 9:04:00 PM | Brown was active but didn't see any action in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Washington. |
| Brown was ultimately given the week off as the Eagles gear up for the postseason. The wide receiver will finish his fourth campaign in Philadelphia having caught 78 of 121 targets for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests. Brown will now look to take advantage of an unimpressive 49ers secondary in the wild-card round next weekend. | |
| 1/4/2026 9:01:00 PM | Tuten rushed five times for 23 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' 41-7 win over the Titans on Sunday. |
| Tuten carried the ball five times behind Travis Etienne's 14, but it was Tuten who scored a touchdown in this one, as he punched in a five-yard score in the fourth quarter of the blowout win. Tuten will handle RB2 duties behind Etienne for next weekend's wild-card matchup with the Bills. | |
| 1/4/2026 7:18:00 PM | 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 1/4/2026 4:32:00 PM | Tracy rushed 18 times for 103 yards and lost a fumble while catching eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. He finishes the 2025 season with 740 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 36 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets. |
| Tracy capped his sophomore season with a career-high 159 scrimmage yards as the Giants notched their fourth win of the campaign. Rookie fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo established himself as the lead back prior to dislocating his ankle in Week 8, but Tracy figures to maintain a substantial role in the Giants' 2026 backfield regardless of how Skattebo's recovery goes. Tracy has exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. | |
| 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 1:49:00 PM | Sanders (hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. |
| Sanders will end up spending the entire 2025 season on injured reserve due to a hip injury he sustained in the preseason. Riley Patterson will serve as the Dolphins' starting kicker in Sunday's regular-season finale, as he's done for the entire 2025 campaign. | |
| 12/29/2025 5:44:00 PM | Rourke (knee) will remain on the 49ers' reserve/non-football injury list for the rest of the 2025 season, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. |
| Rourke opened the 2025 regular season on the NFI list while recovering from a torn ACL that he sustained during his final collegiate season at Indiana. He was designated to return from the NFI in early December, but with his 21-day practice window closing, the rookie seventh-rounder will not be available for the rest of the 2025 campaign. Rourke will turn his attention toward being available for the start of the 2026 season, when he'll likely compete for the backup quarterback job behind Brock Purdy. | |
| 12/29/2025 1:29:00 PM | Mixon (foot/ankle) will not return this season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| It was reported last month by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Mixon wasn't expected to play this season, but the veteran running back somewhat refuted the report, implying that had yet to be determined. Mixon remains on the reserve/non-football injury list. Houston will continue to roll with Woody Marks, Jawhar Jordan and Nick Chubb out of the backfield in Week 18 and the postseason. | |
| 10/7/2025 5:04:00 PM | The Colts placed Shrader (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. |
| His move to IR opens up room on the 53-man roster for Michael Badgley, whom the Colts signed to step in as their new kicker in place of Shrader, who will miss the rest of the season after suffering ACL and MCL tears to his right knee in Sunday's 40-6 win over the Raiders. The Notre Dame product had gotten off to an excellent start to the season, converting 13 of 14 field-goal attempts and 14 of 14 extra-point tries en route to an NFL-leading 53 points through the first five weeks. Shrader is under contract through 2026 and should have the inside track on the kicking job heading into next season if he's able to bounce back well from knee surgery. | |
