Eric Stokes CB | LV
Raiders' Eric Stokes: Tallies five PDs in 2025
Stokes recorded 53 total tackles (35 solo) and five passes defensed over 17 games in 2025.
Stokes logged a 98 percent defensive snap share in his first season with the Raiders after spending the first four years of his NFL career in Green Bay, but he remains without a single forced turnover since making an interception during his rookie campaign back in 2021. The first-round pick becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Demario Douglas WR | NE
Patriots' DeMario Douglas: One catch Sunday
Douglas caught one of his two targets for three yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
Douglas recorded a 33 percent snap share in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and once again saw a modest target share in an offense that tends to spread the ball around. The slot man carries modest fantasy upside as the Patriots divisional-round game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend approaches.

Raiders' Elandon Roberts: Tallies 90 tackles in 2025
Roberts ended his 2025 campaign with 90 total tackles (42 solo), including six tackles for loss, one pass defensed and a fumble recovery across 17 games.
Roberts was credited with 16 starts for the Raiders this season, ranking fourth among his teammates in tackles while playing 58 percent of the defensive snaps. However, he posted double-digit stops in just one of 17 contests, and Roberts will turn 32 years old in April as he enters free agency.

Kyle Williams WR | NE
Patriots' Kyle Williams: One catch in wild-card win
Williams caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the 2025 third-rounder was tied for the third-highest workload with DeMario Douglas (21 of 64 snaps) in a New England WR corps led by Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. As the Patriots' divisional-round game against either the Texans or Steelers approaches, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option due to his lack of consistent volume in his team's passing offense.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Getting MRI on knee
Davis (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to diagnose the nature and severity of the injury that forced him out of Sunday's 27-24 wild-card win over the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Bills had difficulty providing an initial diagnosis for Davis' injury Sunday due to the amount of swelling in his left knee. The veteran wide receiver had to be carted off the field in the second half. In the event that Davis is ruled out for Buffalo's upcoming divisional-round matchup against Denver on Saturday, Jan. 17, Tyrell Shavers and Keon Coleman could be positioned for expanded roles on offense.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Four catches versus Chargers
Boutte caught all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card win over the Chargers.
Boutte was listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the wideout logged a 53 percent snap share Sunday, a lighter workload than he usually sees, but Boutte still ended up pacing the team in catches and was second to RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the receiving yards department. Boutte -- who averaged 16.7 yards a catch during the regular season -- will continue to be a mainstay in the Patriots passing attack in the team's divisional-round game against either the Steelers or Texans this coming weekend.

Devin White LB | LV
Raiders' Devin White: Ranks third in NFL in total tackles
White wrapped up his 2025 campaign with 174 total tackles (95 solo), including 2.5 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception and a forced fumble over 17 games.
White's 174 tackles not only marked a career high, but they also ranked third in the NFL behind a pair of First Team All-Pro selections in Miami's Jordyn Brooks and Detroit's Jack Campbell. Now due to become an unrestricted free agent, White has set himself up for a bigger payday after playing the 2025 season on a one-year deal worth just $1.17 million in Las Vegas.

Ian Thomas TE | LV
Raiders' Ian Thomas: Catches all 13 targets in 2025
Thomas finished the 2025 season with 13 receptions for 114 yards on 13 targets over 15 games.
After spending seven seasons in Carolina, Thomas produced a first down on five of his 13 catches with the Raiders while providing depth and blocking reps behind fellow tight ends Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer. Thomas, who turns 30 years old in June, will be an unrestricted free agent again this offseason.

Dylan Laube RB | LV
Raiders' Dylan Laube: Plays 27 offensive snaps in 2025
Laube ended his 2025 campaign with seven carries for nine yards and three catches for 18 yards on four targets over 17 games. He also returned 33 kickoffs for 855 yards and lost one fumble.
Laube served primarily on special teams for a second straight season, ultimately logging just 27 total offensive snaps while rookie Ashton Jeanty and veteran Raheem Mostert (knee) handled a majority of the Raiders' backfield work. Laube has two years remaining on his rookie contract in Las Vegas, but under a new head coach in 2026, he may have to battle for a roster spot moving forward.

Nick Herbig LB | PIT
Steelers' Nick Herbig: Sets career-best mark in sacks
Herbig recorded 30 tackles (21 solo), including 7.5 sacks, along with an interception, three pass defenses, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a touchdown over 15 regular-season appearances in 2025.
While Herbig's tackle total didn't jump off the page during the 2025 campaign, he ranked second on the team in sacks despite appearing in just 15 regular-season matchups. The 2023 fourth-round pick was on the field for just 53 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps this year and could have the potential to build upon his production during the final season of his rookie contract in 2026 if his playing time increases.
