Michael Carter ARI RBCardinals' Michael Carter: Minimal production in season finale
10m agoCarter rushed seven times for 18 yards, adding three catches for 21 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Rams. He finished the season with 92 rushes for 333 yards and one touchdown, adding 33 receptions for 267 yards on 45 targets.
Despite an uneven 2025 campaign, Carter finished the season as the team leader in carries, rushing yards, targets, receptions and receiving yards. The 26-year-old was forced into a bigger role in the backfield when teammates James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) were lost early in the season. Alongside Emari Demercado and Bam Knight, Carter handled backfield duties for a significant part of the season, allowing him to show off his abilities ahead of the 2026 offseason, in which he will become an unrestricted free agent. Though it is unclear if he'll be back with Arizona, the North Carolina product has likely done enough to garner interest from teams around the NFL as a versatile rotational player out of the backfield.

Jamari Thrash CLE WRBrowns' Jamari Thrash: Multiple DNPs in 2025
23m agoThrash finished 2025 with 10 receptions on 15 targets for 107 yards over nine games.
Thrash was inactive for the final eight games, either due to injury or coach's decision. He had signed a four-year contract with the Browns after being selected in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but Thrash was eventually waived in December and brought back on a one-year deal. He had just 13 catches for 129 yards in his two seasons with Cleveland and enters the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent. One of the team's priorities during the offseason will be a wide receiver room makeover, which may not involve Thrash.

Malik Willis GB QBPackers' Malik Willis: Limited Tuesday
31m agoWillis (right shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Willis was inactive for the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Vikings while he managed his pair of injuries, but head coach Matt LaFleur said prior to Tuesday's practice that he expects the fourth-year quarterback to be available for Saturday's wild-card game against the Bears, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. However, after starting in the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Ravens, Willis will return to a backup role after LaFleur confirmed that Jordan Love would return to the starting role as Green Bay opens its postseason. As such, Willis will have two more chances to upgrade his activity level at practice and avoid taking a designation into Saturday. Desmond Ridder is also available as a third option at quarterback for the Packers, while the team cut Clayton Tune after his Week 18 spot start.

Gage Larvadain CLE WRBrowns' Gage Larvadain: Used mostly on special teams
1h agoLarvadain finished 2025 with seven receptions on 14 targets for 71 yards over 13 games. He also averaged 7.0 yards in 24 punt returns.
Larvadain, an undrafted free agent in 2025, parlayed a strong preseason into a spot on the 53-man roster to open the season. The rookie wide receiver was eventually waived, brought back on the Browns' practice squad, and rejoined the active roster in Week 5 when injuries hit. Larvadain was used as a third, fourth or fifth receiver -- depending on the availability of others -- but never had a significant role in an offense that was limited by sub-par quarterback play all season. He made a bigger impact on special teams, where he was used 45 times (including fair catches) as a returner of punts. Larvadain is under contract for 2026; however, the Browns have several offseason tasks that could determine his future with the team. Those tasks begin with hiring a new head coach and includes reshaping the wide receiver grouping.

Quentin Johnston LAC WRChargers' Quentin Johnston: Doesn't play in Week 18
1h agoJohnston did not play in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.
Like several other key contributors in the Chargers' offense, the team afforded Johnston the day to rest in Week 18 as Los Angeles looks ahead to the AFC playoffs. The 24-year-old wideout did not see the field Sunday, ending the 2025 regular season with 51 catches for 735 yards and eight touchdowns on 84 targets, adding two rushes for seven yards. Johnston's eight trips to the end zone matched his career high while his receptions and yards nearly matched his totals from last season. The TCU product continues to develop chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert, and he'll look to be an impact player Sunday when the Chargers visit the Patriots in the first round of the wild-card playoffs.
-
Ladd McConkey LAC WRChargers' Ladd McConkey: Rests in Week 18 loss
1h agoMcConkey did not play in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.
With the Chargers looking ahead to the AFC playoffs, head coach Jim Harbaugh chose to rest McConkey and many other offensive players against the Broncos. The 24-year-old wideout finished the regular season with 66 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets, all down from his rookie campaign. Despite seeing a dip in his production in his second season, McConkey led the team in receiving yards. The Georgia product will look to have a key role in the Chargers' offensive plans Sunday when the Chargers visit New England in the first round of the wild-card playoffs.

Justin Wilson BOS RPJustin Wilson: Mulling retirement
34m agoWilson is considering retirement, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
The 38-year-old would consider returning only if he receives what he deems a fair contract for a World Series contender. Wilson is coming off a quality 2025 campaign with the Red Sox, having collected a 3.35 ERA and 57:20 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Boston is reportedly interested in re-signing the veteran lefty.
-
Christian Roa MIA RPAstros' Christian Roa: Lands with Astros
9h agoRoa signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Dec. 20.
Roa made his MLB debut with the Marlins in 2025, throwing three scoreless innings while striking out three batters and walking three. Most of his time was spent in Triple-A, where he posted a 2.83 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 60.1 frames. The 26-year-old righty is likely to report to Triple-A Sugar Land to begin the 2026 campaign, though he could join the Astros' bullpen at some point if he continues to thrive in the minors.
-
Justin Dean SF OFGiants' Justin Dean: Designated for assignment
16h agoThe Giants designated Dean for assignment Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Dean arrived in San Francisco in November via waiver claim, but he'll now depart the 40-man roster to make room for Tyler Mahle. Dean slashed .289/.378/.431 and stole 27 bases across 347 plate appearances with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in 2025, and he's likely to work as minor-league depth again in 2026.
-
Zak Kent STL SPCardinals' Zak Kent: Jettisoned from 40-man roster
19h agoThe Cardinals designated Kent for assignment Tuesday.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Justin Bruihl, who was acquired via trade. Kent was a waiver claim of the Cardinals in December and will now go through the waivers process again. The righty reliever posted a 4.58 ERA and 16:8 K:BB over 17.2 innings for the Guardians in 2025.
-
Justin Bruihl CLE RPCardinals' Justin Bruihl: Dealt to St. Louis
19h agoThe Cardinals acquired Bruihl from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Bruihl has bounced around from the Blue Jays to the Guardians and now to the Cardinals since mid-December. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.72 ERA and 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 frames covering parts of five major-league seasons. Bruihl does not have minor-league options remaining, so he's a good bet to make the Opening Day roster if he's still with St. Louis in spring training.
-
Kutter Crawford BOS SPRed Sox's Kutter Crawford: Avoids arbitration with Red Sox
23h agoThe Red Sox and Crawford (wrist) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.75 million contract Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Crawford will receive the same salary in 2026 after he missed the entire 2025 season due to a knee injury and then right wrist surgery. The hurler is expected to be ready in time for Opening Day, though it's possible he's slow-played at the beginning of spring training. Assuming health, Crawford is set to compete for a spot in Boston's rotation.

Precious Achiuwa SAC PFKings' Precious Achiuwa: Re-enters starting lineup in loss
1h agoAchiuwa provided nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Mavericks.
Achiuwa will probably remain with the first unit, as Keegan Murray's recent ankle injury will put him out of action for the remainder of the month. It now appears that Domantas Sabonis (knee) will be back before Murray, and it will be interesting to see what the Kings do with the combo of Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud when he returns.
-
Zach LaVine SAC SGKings' Zach LaVine: Logs 20 points in starting role
1h agoLaVine provided 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Mavericks.
After coming off the bench in his return from a nine-game absence, LaVine reclaimed his role in the starting five and carried a heavy load (37minutes) in the narrow loss. His heavy usage is a strong indication that LaVine will play without a minute restriction, though an upcoming back-to-back set this weekend might raise concerns about his availability.
-
DeMar DeRozan SAC SFKings' DeMar DeRozan: Logs team-high 21 points in loss
1h agoDeRozan provided 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to Dallas.
The Kings struggled to put points on the board and recorded their fourth-lowest scoring total of the season in the narrow loss. DeRozan had a solid line with results in every statistical category, but the team failed to respond after Brandon Williams hit a three-pointer to put the Mavericks up for good. DeRozan bounced back from a two-game slump, where he produced a total of 24 points over losses against Milwaukee and Phoenix.
-
Anthony Davis DAL CMavericks' Anthony Davis: Logs 16-rebound double-double
1h agoDavis ended Tuesday's 100-98 win over Sacramento with 19 points (7-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 36 minutes.
Davis compiled his second-highest rebound total of the season in the narrow win. He has hit the milestone 12 times this season, and while he's struggled to stay on the court, he seems to be back on track after a thigh injury caused a two-game absence.
-
Cooper Flagg DAL SFMavericks' Cooper Flagg: Posts team-high 20 points in win
1h agoFlagg racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 win over the Kings.
Flagg put together a solid all-around line, marking his first 20-plus point total of 2026 in the narrow win. He fought out of a shooting slump that limited his production against the Rockets and Pistons earlier in the month, but his secondary contributions have remained solid with no significant drops. Flagg is averaging 18.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals, and he has only missed one game this season.
-
Brandon Williams DAL PGMavericks' Brandon Williams: Hits game-winning three-pointer
1h agoWilliams logged 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 win over Sacramento.
The Kings threw up several shots in an attempt to take the lead, but Williams' aim was true, and he put the Mavericks up for good with a shot from downtown in the final minute. The fourth-year pro put together a solid outing as the second-unit point guard, and is averaging 11.8 points, 3.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds over 33 games.

William Carrier CAR LWHurricanes' William Carrier: Adds goal in big win
9m agoCarrier scored a goal, put three shots on net, served four PIM and had four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Carrier tallied the lone goal of the third period for Carolina in response to the Stars' tally at the start of the period. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and 89 hits through 36 outings this season. While his blend of stats might not warrant consideration in fantasy outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, his impact on the Canes' fourth line has been solid. He is just two points shy of matching his total of 11 during his first season with the Hurricanes, giving him plenty of time down the stretch to surpass that total and push for the third 20-plus point, 100-plus hit season of his career.
-
Rutger McGroarty PIT RWPenguins' Rutger McGroarty: Placed on injured reserve
13m agoMcGroarty was designated for injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Wednesday.
According to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, McGroarty left practice Tuesday after colliding with a teammate before leaving the session. The Penguins haven't provided any sort of update regarding the nature or severity of the 21-year-old winger's injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games now.
-
Nikolaj Ehlers CAR LWHurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Grabs three apples Tuesday
15m agoEhlers recorded three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
Ehlers played a hand in each of the last three goals scored by Carolina to help close out the big win. With the trio of helpers, he is up to 23 assists, 34 points and 102 shots on net through 43 games this season. The 29-year-old winger has built up a four-game point streak that features three goals and five assists. The Hurricanes' top line has been the most efficient point-scoring line since Dec. 17, with Ehlers, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov combining for 46 points. Not only does Ehlers hold 60-plus point potential this season, but he has a solid chance to set a new career high in points if he can surpass the 64 tallies he posted in 82 regular-season games with the Winnipeg Jets during the 2016-17 campaign.
-
Kyle Connor WPG LWJets' Kyle Connor: Point streak reaches three games
18m agoConnor recorded a goal and took two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Connor has found the back of the net in back-to-back games, and while the Jets have been struggling of late, the star winger remains productive. During the Jets' ongoing 10-game losing streak, Connor has recorded nine points (five goals and four assists). On the season, the star winger has a team-high 49 points (20 goals, 29 assists) in 41 regular-season games.
-
Cole Perfetti WPG CJets' Cole Perfetti: Pots goal Tuesday
21m agoPerfetti scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Perfetti scored a goal for the first time since Nov. 29, when he found the back of the net in a 5-2 victory over the Predators. With only four points (one goal, three assists) since the beginning of December, Perfetti shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside despite holding a top-six role in a Jets team that has lost 10 games in a row.
-
Tomas Hertl LV CGolden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Scores, assists in OT win
22m agoHertl recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
Hertl snapped a two-game pointless streak with a solid performance across the board, and this was his first multi-point effort since he recorded three points in a loss to the Oilers on Dec. 21. Hertl has 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 16 appearances since the beginning of December, and the 32-year-old will continue to have tons of opportunities to produce in a high-scoring offense despite holding a bottom-six role. Hertl's third-line role shows how stacked the Golden Knghts are on offense.
