  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: Records 21 regular-season catches

    Hooper finished the 2025 regular season with 21 catches (on 26 targets) for 263 yards and two TDs in 16 games.

    While working behind fellow TE Hunter Henry (who logged a 60/768/7 receiving line) in a New England offense that spread the ball around, Hooper's fantasy impact this season was limited to deeper TE-friendly formats. The 31-year-old is eligible to become a free agent this coming offseason, unlike Henry, who is under contract with the Patriots through the 2026 campaign.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Held catchless in Week 18

    Bech failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs. He finished his rookie regular season with 20 receptions for 224 yards on 29 targets over 16 games.

    Bech struggled to get anything going Sunday, much like the majority of his rookie season with the Raiders. The 23-year-old wideout was not a major part of the Raiders' offensive plans this season, while tight end Brock Bowers and fellow wide receiver Tre Tucker stepped up as the focal points of the team's passing attack. With subpar quarterback play and a struggling offense, Bech was not in an ideal situation to start out his professional career. The TCU product should continue to improve and will hope to see more consistent play at signal caller when he returns for the 2026 season in Las Vegas.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Two grabs to finish regular season

    Coleman caught two of four targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets. He finished the regular season with 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets over 13 games.

    With Mitch Trubisky in at quarterback for most of the game Sunday, Coleman ended up leading all Bills pass catchers in receiving yards in the game. The second-year wideout became more of a focal point of the Bills' offense with several offensive contributors resting in Week 18 ahead of the AFC playoffs. Coleman's sophomore season was mostly a disappointment, as the Florida State product was expected to take a step forward as a primary target for Josh Allen in 2025 campaign. Coleman will look to improve this offseason in the hopes to become a favorite target of Allen in 2026 with the team desperate for my pass-catching weapons. Until this happens, the 22-year-old will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | CHI

    Bears' Devin Duvernay: No offensive involvement

    Duvernay was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Duvernay played all 17 games and finished the season with two receptions on five targets for 26 yards. He has totaled 17 catches over the past three seasons and operated almost exclusively as a return specialist, leaving minimal offensive fantasy value. He is set to hit free agency.

  • Jahdae Walker WR | CHI

    Bears' Jahdae Walker: Capitalizes late-season chances

    Walker caught two of three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Walker finished the season with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns across nine games, with all of his production coming over the final three contests. He logged only eight offensive snaps prior to that stretch while frequently inactive, highlighting how situational his usage was. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 and enters 2026 as a depth receiver with fringe roster appeal.

  • Travis Homer RB | CHI

    Bears' Travis Homer: Not used on offense

    Homer did not record an offensive statistic in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Homer finished the season appearing in 10 games and recorded one rushing attempt for minus-two yards, with no receptions. He totaled just seven offensive touches across three seasons with the Bears while contributing primarily on special teams, offering no fantasy relevance. He is set to hit free agency.

  • Bears' Gervon Dexter: Registers sack in finale

    Dexter recorded three tackles, including two solo, and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Dexter finished the season with 43 tackles, including 21 solo, 6.0 sacks and two fumble recoveries across 17 games. He has 11.0 sacks over the last two seasons, maintaining interior pass-rush value even with a slight tackle dip from 2024. He is under contract through 2026.

  • Durham Smythe TE | CHI

    Bears' Durham Smythe: Not targeted in finale

    Smythe was not targeted in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Smythe finished the season playing all 17 games and caught four passes for 25 yards on six targets. He has totaled 13 receptions over the last two seasons while serving primarily as a blocking tight end, limiting his fantasy relevance to deep leagues. He is set to hit free agency.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Set for limited practice Wednesday

    Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Kincaid was limited at practice last week before being listed as questionable for the Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. The tight end suited up for the Bills' 35-8 win, en route to playing 10 snaps and catching all three of his targets for 48 yards in a game in which the team managed the workload of several key players. With no reported setbacks with the knee issue Kincaid has been managing, chances are his looming limitations Wednesday are maintenance-related.

  • Sam LaPorta TE | DET

    Lions' Sam LaPorta: Planning to be ready for camp

    LaPorta said Monday that he will enter the next phase of his rehab from back surgery this week and anticipates being fully cleared in advance of training camp, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

    The 24-year-old tight end ended up missing the Lions' final eight games of the season after he suffered a herniated disk in a Nov. 9 win over the Commanders. LaPorta said that he was initially hopeful to avoid a stint on injured reserve and return to action in 2-to-3 weeks after suffering the injury, but after further deliberation, he and the Lions decided that opting for surgery was the best long-term course of action. Six weeks removed from his procedure, LaPorta appears to be progressing as anticipated, and while he may not be ready to take contact in OTAs this spring, he expressed optimism that he'll be able to be "up, running around" during those workouts. LaPorta will be eligible for an extension when the new league year begins in March, and retaining the tight end on a long-term deal will likely be a priority for Detroit after he averaged 4.4 receptions and 50.1 receiving yards per game while scoring 20 total touchdowns in 42 appearances through his first three NFL seasons.
