  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: Returns from IR

    The Panthers reinstated Moore (elbow) from injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    The Panthers waited until his 21-day evaluation window came to a close Tuesday before bringing him back from IR. Carolina waived receiver Hunter Renfrow to clear a spot on the 53-man roster for Moore, who had recorded one reception for five yards on one target while adding 12 yards on his lone carry in four appearances before he landed on IR on Oct. 1 due to a dislocated elbow. Despite making a full recovery from the injury, Moore isn't guaranteed to be active for the Panthers' postseason opener Saturday versus the Rams.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Hunter Renfrow: Loses roster spot

    The Panthers waived Renfrow on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    After sitting out the 2024 season, Renfrow joined the Panthers on a one-year deal during the offseason and was able to secure a spot on the roster coming out of the preseason. The veteran slot receiver saw plenty of involvement early in the season with a 15-89-2 receiving line on 26 targets through the Panthers' first six games, but he was a healthy inactive from Week 7 onward after Carolina got Jalen Coker back from injured reserve. Renfrow will now lose his spot on the roster in advance of the Panthers' wild-card game Saturday versus the Rams with Carolina opting to activate wideout David Moore (elbow) from IR in a corresponding move.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Two catches Sunday

    Douglas caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

    Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Douglas recorded a 25 percent snap share in Week 18, while fellow slot man Efton Chism was out there for 44 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense Sunday. As the postseason approaches, Douglas brings modest fantasy upside to the table following a regular season in which he totaled a career-low 31 catches on 46 targets for 447 yards and three TDs in 17 contests.

  • Patriots' Kyle Williams: One carry in Week 18

    Williams carried the ball once for five yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

    Williams, who was on the field for 27 of the Patriots' 59 snaps on offense in Week 18 perMike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest. As Sunday's playoff opener against the Chargers approaches, Williams remains a speculative fantasy option on the heels of recording a 10-209-3 receiving line in 17 regular-season contests.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Two catches in Week 18

    Boutte caught two of his four targets for 24 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.

    In Boutte's return to action after missing one game due to a concussion, he logged a 58 percent snap share, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. That workload was actually tops among the Patriots WRs in Week 18. Looking ahead to Sunday's postseason opener against the Chargers, Boutte figures to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, though the team's tendency to spread the ball around makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option. On the season, the 2023 sixth-rounder caught 33 of his 46 targets for 551 yards and six TDs in 14 contests.

  • Russell Wilson QB | NYG

    Giants' Russell Wilson: Expects to play next season

    Wilson said Monday that he intends to continue playing in 2026, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Wilson endured a rough 2025 campaign after joining the Giants on a one-year contract in March. The veteran signal-caller opened the season atop the depth but ended up lasting just three weeks as the starter, struggling mightily in Week 1 (against Washington) and Week 3 (against Kansas City) around a throwback Week 2 performance versus Dallas during which he threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns. Ironically, Wilson shared Monday that he actually suffered a Grade 2 hamstring tear on the final play of practice the Friday prior to the game against the Cowboys, per Hughes, making his monster performance all the more remarkable. Ultimately, Wilson appeared in just three more games following his demotion, completing four of nine passes for 53 yards and rushing twice for 12 yards in a backup role behind rookie Jaxson Dart before falling to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart (behind Dart and Jameis Winston) late in the campaign. Wilson is slated to be a free agent, and while his options are limited if he wants to have a chance to earn a starting role, there are a few NFL teams with shaky enough quarterback rooms to potentially give him that opportunity.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Ends 2025 quietly

    Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on five targets) for two yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars.

    Okonkwo had emerged as a favorite target of Cam Ward (shoulder) in recent weeks, logging at least six targets in each of the last three games while also scoring two touchdowns in that span. However, the entire offense suffered once Brandon Allen was forced into action, leaving Okonkwo with a disappointing line to end the regular season. Okonkwo still managed to log career highs in receptions (56), yards (560) and targets (79) across 17 regular-season games. He's set to hit free agency this offseason and is likely to join a new offense after Gunnar Helm established himself as an effective pass catcher at tight end in his rookie year.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Three catches to end rookie year

    Dike recorded three catches (on four targets) for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Jaguars. He added one punt return for nine yards and one kick return for 20 yards.

    Dike accounted for Tennessee's longest play from scrimmage after Brandon Allen entered the game by logging a 21-yard reception early in the second quarter. Allen otherwise struggled to move the offense, leaving Dike and the rest of the team's pass catchers with minimal opportunity. Dike still managed to wrap up a relatively productive rookie season, totaling 48 receptions for 423 yards and four touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. The Titans are likely to add to their wide receiver corps in the offseason, so Dike's role for 2026 is currently unclear.

  • D.J. Reed CB | DET

    Lions' D.J. Reed: Limited by injuries in 2025

    Reed recorded 46 total tackles (37 solo) and seven passes defensed, including two interceptions, while also adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 11 contests during the 2025 regular season.

    Reed was forced to miss six games with a hamstring injury in October and November, limiting his overall numbers on the season. The cornerback was able to secure multiple interceptions for the first time since 2021, while his fumble recovery was his first since that season as well. Reed inked a three-year deal with the Lions prior to the season, and he's all set to start opposite of Terrion Arnold (shoulder) again in 2026.

  • Taysom Hill QB | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Production falls hard in 2025

    Hill (shoulder) finished the 2025 season with 52 carries for 114 rushing yards and one touchdown, as well as 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 91 yards over 13 games. He also completed two of six passes for 57 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

    Hill started the season on the reserve/PUP list after rehabbing a torn ACL suffered in December 2024. He ended the 2025 campaign with an injury, leaving late in the Week 18 loss to Atlanta with a right shoulder issue. The 36-year-old finished with his worst season-long stat line since 2018, and he's now played just 21 regular-season games over the last two years. Hill is set to become an unrestricted free agent, but it's unclear if he'll continue playing or choose to hang it up this offseason, as he told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com in December that he would decide on his future "down the road." Whether he remains with New Orleans or joins a new team, Hill likely will not be a significant player in fantasy football moving forward.
