  • Shemar James LB | DAL

    Cowboys' Shemar James: Impressive rookie campaign

    James recorded 91 tackles (40 solo) with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble over 14 regular-season games in 2025.

    A fifth-round pick out of Florida in the 2025 Draft, James was inactive for the first three games of the season as former defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus leaned heavily veteran linebacker Kenneth Murray, but once James got into the lineup he made an impact, producing double-digit tackles on three separate occasions. However, James struggled in coverage, and he lost his starting spot again briefly once DeMarvion Overshown returned from knee surgery in Week 11. James drew back in when Overshown suffered a Week 16 concussion, and the rookie wrapped up the season with 13 tackles in Week 18 against the Giants. Depending on the Cowboys' offseason moves, James could be in line to start in Week 1 next season under new DC Christian Parker, who brings a LB-friendly system with him from Philadelphia.

  • Rasheed Walker OT | CAR

    Packers' Rasheed Walker: Arrested on gun charge

    Walker was arrested Friday at LaGuardia Airport in New York and charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, the New York Post reports.

    After he attempted to check a bag that contained a firearm, the 25-year-old was taken into custody and appeared in Queens County Criminal Court on the gun charge before he was released later Friday. According to Walker's attorney, the Green Bay offensive tackle's gun was legally licensed in Wisconsin, but Walker wasn't aware that he couldn't travel with the firearm to New York. Walker is due back in court March 19, and the NFL will likely wait until the legal matter is resolved before deciding whether he'll be subject to any discipline.

  • Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Notches another sack

    Lawrence recorded two solo tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Lawrence has 2.0 sacks and three forced fumbles through two postseason games. The 33-year-old's leadership has been a key part of this defense's success, and he draws a fantastic opportunity in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots, as QB Drake Maye has been sacked 15 times through three playoff games.

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Another perfect outing

    Myers hit a 27-yard field goal and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Myers has hit all three field-goal attempts and all nine extra-point tries through two postseason games. During the regular season, he connected on 41 of 48 field-goal tries, including 22 of 27 (81.3 percent) from beyond 40 yards. The Seahawks will face the Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Returned to Sunday's game

    Whittington (chest) was cleared to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to the Seahawks.

    Whittington suffered a chest injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-27 loss to Seattle but was given the green light to return in the fourth quarter. The second-year pro played 19 snaps (three on offense, 16 on special teams) and returned five kickoffs for 116 yards. Whittington ended the 2025 regular season with 18 catches (on 25 targets) for 171 yards along with 434 yards on 17 kickoff returns across 17 games.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Key special-teams play

    Young recovered a fumble and made a tackle in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Young played just one offensive snap as the team's No. 5 wide receiver, but he made a massive play on special teams, recovering a muffed punt in the third quarter. Seahawks WR Jake Bobo caught a 17-yard touchdown pass on the next play. Young has been an outstanding gunner on special teams this season and will look to make a similar impact in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: No targets in win

    Saubert wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Saubert served as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner, handling 38 of 67 offensive snaps (57 percent). His workload could get reduced if Elijah Arroyo is active for the Super Bowl versus the Patriots, but regardless, he's not a dependable fantasy option with just 41 receiving yards through the regular season and postseason.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Quiet in win

    Barner caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Barner didn't record a catch in the NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers, and he had a limited role in this contest despite playing 64 of 67 offensive snaps. The second-year tight end reeled in six touchdown passes over 17 regular-season games, so he'll have some upside due to his role in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Scores in title game

    Bobo caught a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Bobo handled just 13 offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 wide receiver, but he made it count with an impressive touchdown catch on the Seahawks' second drive of the third quarter. His role will remain limited in the Super Bowl, and it's worth noting that he has just four receptions through 13 games this year.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Six touches in return

    Holani rushed three times for four yards and caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

    Holani's return from a hamstring injury he suffered Week 12 came just in time, as Zach Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the team's divisional-round win over the 49ers. Thus, Holani served as the No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker and handled a 34 percent snap share. The second-year running back out of Boise State previously handled kick-return duties, too, but the Seahawks traded for Rashid Shaheed, who has that job locked down heading into the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.
