| 1/10/2026 1:21:00 PM | Coleman is expected to have an expanded offensive role while Joshua Palmer (ankle) is sidelined during Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Jaguars, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| The 22-year-old wideout was a healthy scratch in four of the Bills' final eight regular-season games this year, but he's expected to take on an expanded offensive role Sunday due to Palmer being ruled out. Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick from Florida State, has caught 38 of 59 targets for 404 yards and four touchdowns across 13 appearances in 2025. Even so, Coleman is expected to play behind Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Tyrell Shavers during the wild-card round. | |
| 1/9/2026 4:02:00 PM | Goedert (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers. |
| Goedert missed Week 18, but so did some of Philadelphia's healthy starters. He was then limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday this week before upgrading to full participation Friday. Goedert should be ready for his usual every-down role come Sunday. | |
| 1/9/2026 12:05:00 PM | Singleton recorded 135 tackles (54 solo) to go with one sack, four passes defensed and one forced fumble while playing in 16 games during the 2025 season. |
| Singleton bounced back in a big way this season after suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 3 of the 2024 season. The 32-year-old linebacker led all Broncos defenders in tackles, proving once again to be a difference maker for Denver's formidable defense. Singleton is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it's possible the Broncos will want to be aggressive in re-signing him based on his consistently high levels of performance. Otherwise, it's likely the veteran will garner a lot of interest from teams around the league that are desperate for strong linebacker play. | |
| 1/8/2026 7:10:00 PM | Gary recorded 45 tackles (25 solo), 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025. |
| The Packers underwent some changes along their defensive line and pass rushers entering 2025, but Gary remained a consistent force. He tallied at least 7.5 sacks for the third consecutive season, and also recorded 20 quarterback hits -- the third-highest mark of his career. Gary should remain a key part of Green Bay's defensive line for their playoff run and into 2026, as he remains under contract for two more years. | |
| 1/8/2026 5:33:00 PM | Collins, who was inactive for this past Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts, isn't listed on the Texans' injury report ahead of Monday night's playoff opener against the Steelers. |
| Collins and veteran RB Nick Chubb were rested in the Texans' Week 18 win, with an eye toward keeping the duo fresh for the team's upcoming postseason run. With Collins currently not managing any injury concerns, he's set to reclaim his role as Houston's top wideout Monday on the heels of recording a 71-1,117-6 line (on 120 targets) in 15 regular-season contests. | |
| 1/8/2026 3:52:00 PM | Green Bay lists Willis (shoulder/hamstring) as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. |
| Though Willis was inactive for the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Vikings due to the injuries to his hamstring and throwing shoulder, head coach Matt LaFleur expressed confidence earlier in the week that the fourth-year quarterback would be ready to back up starter Jordan Love in the postseason opener. However, with Willis not advancing beyond limited practice participation throughout the week, his status for Saturday's contest would appear to be more uncertain than initially expected. In the event Willis isn't available to play against the Bears, the Packers would turn to the newly-signed Desmond Ridder to serve as Love's backup. | |
| 1/8/2026 3:37:00 PM | Young recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), including 12.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in 17 games during 2025. |
| The durable Young, who hasn't missed a game in his three seasons in the league, took another step towards becoming one of the league's elite linebackers in 2025, finishing in a tie for eighth with Josh Sweat and Will Anderson for most sacks, and earned his first career Pro Bowl nod in the process. It looked like it would be much more than 12 sacks early in the season, as Young recorded at least half a sack in each of the Rams first seven games, before cooling off and recording just three sacks over the final ten contests. Young will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026, and will look to continue his upward progression before either signing an extension with the Rams or looking for a big payday in free agency. | |
| 1/8/2026 2:09:00 PM | Smith tallied 130 total tackles (76 solo) and three passes defensed across 15 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Despite missing two contests during Baltimore's 2025 campaign, the 28-year-old led the team in total tackles for the third consecutive season. That said, Smith posted fewer total tackles (154 to 130), sacks (1.5 to zero), passes defensed (four to three), interceptions (one to zero) and forced fumbles (one to zero) than he did in 2024, all while playing 15 more defensive snaps this year. The All-Pro linebacker remains under contract through the 2027 season, so he's expected to operate as the Ravens' defensive signal-caller again in 2026. | |
| 1/6/2026 11:10:00 PM | Van Ginkel posted five tackles (four solo) and two defensed passes in Sunday's 16-3 win over Green Bay in Week 18. He concluded the campaign with 54 stops (28 solo), including 7.0 sacks, 10 defensed passes (including an interception) and two fumble recoveries across 12 games. |
| Van Ginkel missed four games early in the campaign due to a neck injury, marking the first time since his rookie 2019 season that he had to sit out any contests. The missed time likely contributed to his sack total dipping a bit compared to the 11.5 sacks he posted during the regular season in 2024, but it didn't keep Van Ginkel from registering a career-best 10 pass defenses (tied for most on Minnesota). Van Ginkel signed a one-year extension last April, so he should be back to help anchor the Vikings' defense again in 2026. | |
| 1/6/2026 10:40:00 PM | Cashman recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-3 Week 18 win over Green Bay. He concluded the season with 144 stops (61 solo), including 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and two defensed passes across 13 contests. |
| Cashman got some well-deserved rest in the season finale -- he logged fewer than 90 percent of Minnesota's defensive snaps for the first time since Week 1 -- but still managed to finish second on the team in stops. The veteran linebacker capped a productive campaign with a sack of Green Bay QB Clayton Tune for a 10-yard loss in the fourth quarter. Though he missed four games due to injury, Cashman still set a career-high mark with 144 tackles on the season, ranking ninth in the NFL in that category. Cashman should be back to anchor the Vikings' defense in 2026 in what will be the final season of a three-year contract, barring an extension. | |
| 1/6/2026 4:41:00 PM | Green Bay signed Ridder off the practice squad Tuesday. |
| Ridder replaces Clayton Tune as the Packers' QB3 behind Jordan Love and Malik Willis (shoulder) after Tune completed just six of 11 passes for 34 scoreless yards in Sunday's regular-season finale against Minnesota. | |
| 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 2:52:00 PM | Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Love will serve as the team's starting quarterback in Saturday's wild-card game in Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. |
| After sustaining a concussion in Week 16, Love missed a Week 17 loss to the Ravens and served as the backup to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune in the regular-season finale despite clearing the league's protocol, with nothing on the line for the Packers. According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, LaFleur noted that Love still got in a "mostly normal amount of practice work" last week. The QB will benefit from another full week of practice leading up to Saturday's contest and will be aided by the expected return of right tackle Zach Tom (back), who should be available to play against the Bears after missing the Packers' final three games of the regular season, per Schneidman. | |
| 1/5/2026 10:20:00 AM | Fairbairn successfully converted six of six field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis. |
| Fairbairn, who tied a franchise record for field goals in a single game, upped his season total to 44 field goals, which tied an NFL single-season record set by David Akers in 2011 for the 49ers. Fairbairn, who missed two games in 2025 due to injury, converted 44 of 48 attempts (91.6 percent) and all 28 of his extra-point tries in 2025. He finished second in the NFL scoring with 160 points, behind only Seattle's Jason Myers (171). | |
| 1/4/2026 11:51:00 PM | Henry took 20 carries for 126 yards while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Steelers. |
| Henry was held out of the end zone after scoring an eye-opening six touchdowns over his last two appearances, but he still managed to reach the century mark in rushing yards for the fourth week in a row. The 31-year-old continues to defy logic by maintaining an elite level of play in his 10th year in the league. King Henry amassed a 307-1,595-16 rushing line across 17 starts with Baltimore in 2025. While the Ravens' season ended in heartbreaking fashion Sunday, Henry remains under contract through 2027 and should continue leading the team's downhill rushing attack while producing elite fantasy numbers in standard formats next season. | |
| 1/4/2026 10:24:00 PM | Williams secured six of eight targets for 74 yards in the Lions' 19-16 win over the Bears on Sunday. |
| Williams played second fiddle to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- who finished with an 11-139-0 line on 15 targets -- but the former managed to close out a career-best season with another solid performance. Williams finally evolved into a well-rounded No. 2 receiver during the second half of the campaign, allowing him to finish with new career highs in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1,117) while also tying a career-best figure in receiving touchdowns (seven) across 17 games. Williams should reprise his role in 2026 alongside St. Brown on the heels of back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns. | |
| 1/4/2026 10:06:00 PM | Henderson rushed 13 times for 53 yards and two touchdowns and wasn't targeted during the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. |
| Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson took turns tearing through the Dolphins' permeable run defense, with each back recording a pair of rushing touchdowns. Henderson's two scores came from five and two yards out, his fourth such tally of his rookie campaign. Henderson heads into his first NFL postseason having amassed 911 rushing yards and nine touchdowns at 5.1 yards per carry alongside a 35-221-1 receiving line across 17 regular-season games. Henderson and Stevenson should continue working in a fairly even timeshare beginning with next weekend's home wild-card matchup against the Chargers. | |
| 1/4/2026 8:49:00 PM | Bigsby rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for 31 yards. |
| Bigsby took advantage of the chance to work as the lead back with Saquon Barkley resting in preparation for the playoffs. He ripped off a pair of 13-yard gains on the ground, and four of his 16 carries went for at least eight yards. Bigsby also plunged into the end zone from two yards away midway through the third quarter while delivering an impressive 31-yard gain as a receiver-- his longest play from scrimmage. He'll return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and closes the regular season with 377 yards from scrimmage across 16 games. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:51:00 PM | Brown carried the ball 13 times for 72 yards and caught four of six targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns. |
| The rushing yardage gave Brown his first 1,000-yard campaign on the ground, while the first-quarter TD gave him a total of 11 on the season (six rushing, five receiving) to tie his career high. The third-year RB also set a new personal best with 1,456 scrimmage yards, and he'll head into the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 locked into the top spot in the Cincy backfield. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:13:00 PM | Pickens caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 93 catches for 1,423 yards and nine touchdowns on 137 targets. |
| Pickens didn't add much to his career high totals in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns before the Cowboys took out their key offensive starters at halftime. The 24-year-old wide receiver is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though the Cowboys are expected to retain Pickens, either through an extension or with the franchise tag. Pickens posted the best season of his career after being acquired from the Steelers in an offseason trade, but Dallas failed to reach the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record. | |
| 1/4/2026 5:11:00 PM | Prescott completed seven of 11 passes for 70 yards and rushed twice for minus-1 yard, in addition to losing a fumble, in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 4,552 passing yards and a 30:10 TD:INT. |
| Prescott came into the regular-season finale with the most passing yards, completions and pass attempts in the NFL. With the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention, he didn't add much to those totals before being replaced by backup Joe Milton at halftime. Prescott is set to carry a cap hit slightly north of $74 million in 2026, but the Cowboys have little choice but to stick with the 32-year-old quarterback despite the team's lack of playoff success. | |
| 1/3/2026 11:30:00 PM | Charbonnet rushed the ball 17 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added three receptions on four targets for 23 yards. |
| Charbonnet worked in a near-even split with Kenneth Walker, with Walker turning in the more efficient performance. However, Charbonnet was still arguably responsible for the biggest play of the game, when he ripped off an impressive 27-yard rushing score late in the first quarter -- the only touchdown of the game for either team. Charbonnet closed the regular season in strong form, totaling 219 yards from scrimmage combined across his final two contests. He'll retain a key role for Seattle's playoff run, beginning in the divisional round. | |
| 12/30/2025 4:18:00 PM | Baun registered six solo tackles, including one stop for a loss, during the Eagles' 13-12 win over the Bills on Sunday. |
| Baun was one of four Eagles defenders to play all 76 snaps, and his six solo stops were second on the team behind Marcus Epps (eight). Baun has tallied at least six stops in 15 of 16 regular-season games and is up to 123 combined tackles on the year, which leads the Eagles and is tied with Payton Wilson for 17th most in the NFL. | |
| 12/28/2025 4:08:00 PM | Luvu recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday. |
| Luvu joined Will Harris and Bobby Wagner as the three Commanders defenders to play all 92 snaps during their Christmas Day loss. The eighth-year pro is up to 85 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and he would need a big day against the Eagles in Week 18 in order to reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his NFL career. | |
| 12/24/2025 1:54:00 PM | The Raiders placed Bowers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday. |
| Bowers kicked off his second pro campaign by suffering a knee injury Week 1, and while he eventually sat out Weeks 5-7, he surpassed 100 receiving yards only one more time through Week 16. Now that his season is officially over, he'll finish it with a 64-680-7 line on 86 targets in 12 contests. Bowers will yield TE reps to Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon for the final two games. | |
| 10/27/2025 4:10:00 PM | Milton completed three of four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in relief of Dak Prescott during Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos. |
| With the game well out of reach, Milton took over for the Cowboys' final two drives of the game and punctuated the first by launching a perfect deep ball to Jalen Tolbert for a 35-yard TD. It was Milton's second late-game appearance of the season, but it likely won't be the last even if Prescott stays healthy given the state of the Dallas roster, as the combination of an elite offense and abysmal defense is a recipe for blowouts. | |
