Smith finished the 2025 regular season with 100 tackles (61 solo), including 2.0 sacks, 13 defensed passes, including one interception, and two fumble recoveries across 16 games.

The second-year pro had already displayed a penchant for solid tackle numbers and getting his hands on the ball during his 13-game rookie 2024 campaign, but Smith took a clear step forward in 2025 while holding down a starting role. The Georgia product logged a career-high 890 snaps from scrimmage, and he was in on 94 percent or greater of the defense's plays in all but his injury-shortened Week 14. Given his impressive development this season, Smith will head into 2026 ready to once again man the starting free safety role and form one of the league's best tandems at the position with Antoine Winfield.

Huntley finished the 2025 regular season completing 52 of 67 attempts for 426 yards and two touchdowns across five appearances.

It was an interesting season for Huntley, who played a key role in keeping Baltimore's season afloat at different stages. He was cut by Cleveland in August and joined Baltimore's practice squad. The Ravens had signed Cooper Rush to be the new backup during the offseason, though, so Huntley's path to seeing the field was almost completely blocked. When Lamar Jackson went down with a hamstring injury against the Chiefs, Baltimore turned to Rush, who finished that game and started against the Texans and Rams. Amid some struggles, though, Baltimore turned to Huntley. He started and won games against the Bears (Week 8) and Packers (Week 17), both of which came at crucial points for the Ravens' postseason chances. Rush is under contract for $2 million next year, so it's unclear what the future holds for Huntley in Baltimore, especially with an entirely new coaching staff coming in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
