Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his point-after tries during the Eagles' 24-17 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Elliott gave the Eagles a 17-10 lead late in the third quarter after connecting on a 39-yard field goal, and Sunday marked the sixth time in nine games since the Eagles' Week 9 bye that he made one field goal or less. The 2025 regular season was a disappointing one for the veteran kicker, who connected on just 20 of 27 field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games, and his 74.1 percent success rate was the second lowest of his career. Elliott had some struggles toward the tail end of the 2024 regular season as well, but he ended up making 10 of 11 field-goal attempts across four postseason games, including 4-for-4 against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles will need the very best out of Elliott for their title defense, which begins this Sunday in the NFC wild-card round against the 49ers.

McManus made his only field-goal attempt Sunday in a 16-3 loss to Minnesota.

The Packers rested most of their starters and deployed Clayton Tune as their quarterback, which explains the team's paltry offensive output. McManus did prevent Green Bay from being shut out with his 24-yard FG as time expired in the fourth quarter. The veteran kicker will enter Saturday's wild-card contest against Chicago having made 24 of 30 FG tries (including going 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards) and 32 of 33 PAT attempts across 14 contests.

Boswell made both of his field-goal tries and went 2-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 26-24 victory against Baltimore.

Boswell put the Steelers on the board midway through the second quarter with a big 57-yard field goal. He added another FG -- this time a chip shot from 25 yards -- in the third period. The veteran kicker made his first two PAT tries, but he missed his third attempt, which came with less than one minute remaining in the game and could have given Pittsburgh a three-point lead. Though it wasn't immediately evident on the broadcast, the miss was eventually clarified to have been blocked, and it didn't end up costing the Steelers since Baltimore's Tyler Loop couldn't convert a 44-yard field-goal try as time expired. Boswell heads into the postseason having made 27 of 32 FG attempts -- including nine of 11 from 50-plus yards -- over 17 contests. The blocked PAT on Sunday was his first extra-point miss of the campaign on his 43rd try.

Little made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 41-7 win versus the Titans.

Little extended his streak of games without missing a kick to 10, and he created a very memorable moment in an otherwise very forgettable contest by booting a 67-yard field goal through the uprights that looked like it would have been good from 70. It was the second-longest made field goal in NFL history behind only Little's 68-yard missile against the Raiders in Week 9. He has earned a reputation as one of the best kickers in football going into the wild-card round when Jacksonville hosts the Bills.

Lutz connected on all four of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Broncos' 19-3 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Three of Lutz's for field-goal attempts Sunday came from 26 yards or closer, with his longest attempt coming from 41 yards early in the fourth quarter. His four made field goals were his most in a game since Week 11 against the Chiefs (five), and the veteran kicker will end the 2025 regular season having gone 28-for-32 on field-goal attempts (87.5 percent) and 39-for-39 on extra-point tries through 17 games.

Dicker made his lone field goal during the Chargers' 19-3 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

The Chargers struggled to generate any offense Sunday with Trey Lance under center instead of Justin Herbert (coach's decision), but Dicker put the team on the board with a 30-yard chip shot as time expired in the first half. It was another productive season for Dicker, as he went 38-for-41 (92.7 percent) on field-goal attempts over 16 regular-season games to finish third in the NFL in made field goals behind Ka'imi Fairbairn (44) and Jason Myers (41). However, Dicker connected on just five of six field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards, which was his lowest over the last three years.

Nailor caught 29 of 53 targets for 444 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games with Minnesota in 2025. He also handled two carries for 13 yards.

Nailor played a slightly larger role in the Vikings' offense in the final year of his rookie contract after having a small breakout in 2024. He posted similar numbers, however, due to a dip in efficiency. That decline was probably mostly a product of general dysfunction in a Vikings passing offense that went from sixth in the league in yards in 2024 to 29th in 2025. He'll become a free agent this offseason, and he has further demonstrated that he at least can be a credible deep threat even if he's not a very physically imposing one.

Scott concluded the 2025-26 season with 32 carries for 114 yards and no touchdowns along with 14 catches on 16 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown over 16 games.

Scott took on a significant role early in the campaign when starting RB Aaron Jones missed time due to a hamstring injury. While Scott worked behind Jordan Mason and logged double-digit offensive snaps Weeks 3 to 5, he didn't do much with the opportunity, tallying a combined 49 rushing yards on 15 totes. He did add 63 yards on seven receptions during that span, but most of his receiving output came in Week 4, when he posted a 6-43-1 line versus Pittsburgh. Overall, Scott registered a meager 3.6 yards per carry as a rusher, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his ability to ascend to a lead back. It's still impressive that Scott was able to see a decent amount of work after going undrafted, and he showed acumen as a pass catcher with 14 grabs on 16 targets, but he figures to remain in a depth role in 2026 if he returns to Minnesota (he'll be a restricted free agent this offseason).

Hawes caught his only target for no gain during Sunday's 35-8 win versus the Jets.

As usual, Hawes was used only sparingly in the passing game in Week 18, trailing in targets at tight end behind both Keleki Latu (3) and Dawson Knox (2). Hawes's 22 snaps at tight end were second on the team to Latu's 48, but that was likely due to Buffalo's decision to rest some of its more valuable players. In the wild-card round at Jacksonville and potentially beyond, the Bills will probably continue to lean on Hawes as part of a committee at tight end along with Knox and 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid, with Hawes deployed primarily in-line.

Shavers did not see a target while logging four offensive snaps in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets.

The Bills limited or held out many of their primary players ahead of the postseason, but that doesn't necessarily explain Shavers' decreased usage. All of Gabe Davis (70 offensive snaps), Joshua Palmer (63) and Keon Coleman (61) were on the field plenty, and Shavers has recently been jockeying with Davis and Palmer (along with Brandin Cooks) for wideout snaps behind Khalil Shakir, who dressed but didn't play Sunday. It's also telling that Shavers was asked to play his usual role on special teams, logging 12 snaps as part of that unit. Whatever the case may be, Shavers figures to still be part of the wideout rotation in the postseason, but it will be hard for fantasy managers to count on him for output, especially considering that he hasn't managed more than two catches or 36 receiving yards in a game since Week 11.
