Egbuka brought in one of three targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the 2025 regular season with 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets and two rushes for nine yards over 17 games.

Egbuka was thrust into a significant role from Day 1 of his rookie season, as the Buccaneers began the campaign without Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan due to ankle and neck injuries, respectively. The Ohio State product looked like an instant star after posting a 25-445-5 line on 38 targets over his first five career games, but Egbuka topped 64 receiving yards just once in the remaining 12 contests despite Mike Evans and Godwin missing significant time, and McMillan not making his season debut until Week 15. Nevertheless, there isn't any doubt about Egbuka's talent after he still nearly eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in his first season, and he could be set for a similar elevated target share in 2026 if Godwin isn't retained this offseason.

Godwin secured his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the 2025 regular season with 33 receptions for 360 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets across nine games.

Godwin's uninspiring finish was a somewhat fitting end to a career-worst season for the accomplished veteran, who failed to hit the 50-catch mark for the first time since his rookie 2017 campaign. He didn't make his season debut until Week 4 while completing his recovery from a 2024 ankle injury, and after posting matching three-catch, 26-yard efforts in his first two games, the Penn State product went on to log five consecutive absences due to a fibula injury. Godwin ultimately managed just one 100-yard performance and finished with a career-low 7.1 yards per target, making it close to a throwaway campaign from a fantasy perspective. He's under contract for the 2026 season at a significant cap hit of $33.7 million thanks in large part to a $22 million base salary, so a restructuring or potential parting of the ways appears to be in the cards this offseason.

Iosivas had two catches for 10 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Browns. He ended the season with 33 catches for 435 yards and two touchdowns, falling short of his 2024 production in all three categories.

Despite Iosivas playing every game and teammate Tee Higgins missing multiple games due to injury, Iosivas fell short of expectations this season, and not all of that was due to quarterback Joe Burrow missing eight games with a toe injury. The Bengals used fewer sets with wide receivers, but even that doesn't explain the drop-off for Iosivas, who actually played seven more offensive snaps than last season. Nonetheless, he's expected to return for another season as the Bengals' third receiver in 2026.

The Cowboys signed Campbell to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Campbell was sidelined to open the season after reaching an injury settlement with Dallas in August due to an MCL sprain that he suffered in late July. The wide receiver then joined the Cowboys' practice squad Sept. 30, appearing in the team's Week 6 loss to the Panthers, failing to record any stats while playing two snaps on offense, but he did add a tackle over six snaps with the special-teams unit. Campbell will now have the opportunity to participate in the Cowboys' offseason activities, looking to compete for a reserve spot at wideout with the team in 2026.

The Jets signed Pritchett to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Pritchett signed with the Jets in late April after not being selected by a team during the 2025 NFL Draft. The South Alabama product failed to make the Jets' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but opted to stick around with New York on the practice squad. Pritchett wasn't elevated to the active roster during the regular season, but he'll be a part of the Jets' offseason activities and be eligible to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp, where he'll look to impress the coaching staff enough to earn a spot on the active roster for 2026.

The Buccaneers signed Houston to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Houston spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign as a member of the practice squad in Tampa Bay, but he failed to appear in any contests. The wide receiver will now have the chance to participate in the Buccaneers' offseason activities, and he'll look to impress in an effort to earn an opportunity with the active roster in 2026.

Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Cracraft played 10 snaps (seven on offense, three on special teams) during the Commanders' 24-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday, when he returned one punt for one yard. He ended up appearing in the final two games of the regular season for Washington after joining the team's practice squad in mid-November. The veteran wide receiver will explore his options as an unrestricted free agent.

Brownlee reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Brownlee played five of 64 offensive snaps during the Chiefs' 14-12 loss to the Raiders on Sunday but did not show up on the box score otherwise. Brownlee spent time on the Chiefs' practice squad and active roster in 2025 and appeared in six regular-season games, failing to record a catch on one target. He'll enter the 2026 offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Kirkwood reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kirkwood was elevated to Baltimore's active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh but ended up inactive during the loss. It was his lone elevation of 2025, and the veteran wide receiver has not appeared in a regular-season game since 2023 as a member of the Saints.

Sims reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Sims was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Rams, playing two snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit, including two punt returns for 27 yards and three kick returns for 49 yards. The wide receiver played in the team's final three games of the regular season, compiling 236 kick-return yards and 32 yards on punt returns. Sims may now enter the offseason as a free agent.
