"Jenkins spent the 2025 campaign on Philadelphia's practice squad, and he was elevated for two regular-season appearances with the team. The tight end played 11 offensive snaps (zero targets) and 31 snaps on special teams in those contests. He'll get an opportunity to continue his development with the Eagles during the coming offseason."

"Smith-Njigba is entering his third NFL season following a breakout 2024 in which he ranked top 10 among wide receivers in routes, receptions, yardage and fantasy points (19th in PPG). Operating primarily in a short-area role, "JSN" was, however, limited to six TDs and ranked 16th in end zone targets (11). The 2023 first-round pick got more downfield opportunities in 2024 than he did as a rookie and perhaps will get even more in 2025 with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett out and Cooper Kupp in as his wide receiver running mate. Smith-Njigba will also have a new playcaller (Klint Kubiak) and quarterback (Sam Darnold), which adds some uncertainty, but the bottom line is he's an emerging star and, at 23 years old, younger than some incoming rookies. Smith-Njigba is a WR2 who could crack the top 10 with another leap forward."


"The Seahawks played from ahead and were satisfied with relying on their run game, meaning Sam Darnold attempted only 26 passes. Smith-Njigba still managed a solid eight targets, double the amount of any other Seattle pass catcher. Half of his six receptions also went for over 15 yards, helping him top 80 receiving yards for the fourth time in his last five games. With the performance, Smith-Njigba ends the regular season with 118 receptions for 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns."

"Wentz played the majority of snaps in Minnesota's last five games with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) working his way back from a multi-week injury, but the veteran was clearly playing through pain during last Thursday's 37-10 loss to the Chargers. Per Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Vikings have officially placed Wentz on IR. The transaction confirms that McCarthy will start Sunday's road matchup against the Lions, if healthy, and leaves Max Brosmer in position to handle No. 2 quarterback duties for Minnesota."

"Robinson earned a rare start filling in for Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) and received the most playing time (88 percent) in a game this season. The 30-year-old Robinson couldn't parlay the larger role into notable fantasy production after finishing the loss with a pedestrian stat line. Pearsall's status for the wild-card round of the playoffs is still in question, but Robinson's minimal involvement on offense limits his fantasy upside even in games he is asked to start."

"The 23-year-old recorded the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers during the Week 17 loss, trailing just Jalen Coker (2-16-0). Horn has now received at least one offensive touch in each of Carolina's last three games, suggesting his role is growing as the season progresses. Across 13 appearances, he's caught 10 of 14 targets for 93 yards while rushing eight times for 69 yards. Expect Carolina to continue utilizing Horn's speed in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers on Saturday."

"As has often been the case this season with the Browns, Corley saw work as a receiver and runner, and this was the eighth time in 13 games he was used in both roles. He latched on with Cleveland after being cut by the Jets prior to the start of the regular season, and finished the regular season with 11 catches on 14 targets for 79 yards and 13 carries for 127 yards, while averaging 23.4 yards on 21 kickoff returns. Cleveland is expected to make significant changes this offseason, and the free agent wideout may not be part of the 2026 picture."

"Pierce is entering his fourth NFL season. In 12 games in which Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs were also active last season, Pierce handled 12% of the targets (3.8 per game) and cleared five in a game only once. If we filter to the six games played with Anthony Richardson, Pittman and Downs, Pierce averaged 3.8 targets and 4.4 fantasy points per game, failing to score a TD or clear 10.4 fantasy points in any of the outings. No higher than third on the WR depth chart and a candidate for less work as Adonai Mitchell enters Year 2 and with TE Tyler Warren now in the mix, Pierce is way off the fantasy radar."


"With Riley Leonard getting his first career start at quarterback, Pierce stepped up as the rookie's top downfield option, hauling in a 66-yard score in the first quarter and an eight-yard TD in the second. The fourth-year wideout wasn't able to add to his numbers in the fourth quarter, however, getting ejected late in the third for making contact with an official while complaining about the lack of a pass interference call on a potential third touchdown. Pierce finishes 2025 with career highs in catches (47), yards (1,003) and targets (84) while scoring six TDs, but his fantasy appeal next year will depend a great deal on how the Colts solve their QB dilemma this offseason."
