Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

The Packers are locked in for the NFC's seventh seed heading into the postseason, so Walker will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale while others will likely operate under a snap count. His absence gives both Ty'Ron Hopper and Jamon Dumas-Johnson more opportunities to log snaps on defense in Week 18. Walker will end the 2025 regular season with a career-high 128 tackles (58 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and five pass defenses across 14 games.

Coker caught six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

The second-year pro from Holy Cross led the Panthers in targets and receptions while finishing with the second-most receiving yards during Saturday's loss. Coker has established himself as Carolina's No. 2 wideout since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, catching 33 of 43 targets for 394 yards and three touchdowns across 11 appearances. Following the Week 18 defeat, the Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints on Sunday to force a three-way tie for the division title. In that scenario, Carolina would hold the division tiebreaker and earn the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs, hosting a wild-card game.

Harden (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Harden logged consecutive limited practice sessions to end the week. The consistent practice seems to have been enough to allow the slot cornerback to suit up for the Browns' last clash of the 2025 season.

Brown (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Brown will end up missing the final two games of the regular season due to ankle and knee injuries, and Tytus Howard will get the start at right tackle for a second consecutive game. Brown has been unable to practice since sustaining the injuries in Week 16 against the Raiders, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.

Mooney (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney has received the green light to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Mooney will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the wideout could face more playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in Week 18. Like Mooney, starting receiver Drake London (knee) and tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Rivers is inactive for Sunday's season finale against the Texans.

With Rivers inactive, Riley Leonard is slated to start Sunday's contest, with Seth Henigan set to serve as his backup. Rivers started the Colts' previous three games, but with the team out of playoff contention, the veteran quarterback will be kept out of harm's way in Week 18.

Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Terrell (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell was added to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but it won't prevent him from playing in Sunday's NFC South clash. The sixth-year pro has logged 64 tackles (46 solo), 12 pass defenses and one forced fumble through 14 regular-season games.

Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Herbert's first elevation of the season will not lead to any snaps. The Jaguars have decided to go with Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris at tight end, meaning Herbert's talents will not be required for the regular-season finale.

Wicks (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks didn't practice during Week 18 prep following the concussion that he suffered Saturday, Dec. 27 against the Ravens. With Wicks sidelined, Green Bay's available options at the position Sunday will be Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton and Jakobie Keeney-James. Wicks' next chance for game action will take place in the wild-card round.
