Wilson failed to secure either of his targets during Miami's 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Wilson failed to secure more than a single catch in any of the 10 regular-season appearances he logged with the Dolphins in 2025, finishing the year with a 5-44-0 receiving line on nine targets. The 30-year-old veteran is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Whether he re-signs with Miami or competes for a depth role elsewhere, Wilson's best odds of sticking with a team for the 2026 campaign will likely be as a member of a practice squad.

Hill secured his only target for eight yards during Miami's 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Hill suited up for 14 regular-season games across the course of the 2025 campaign, securing 15 of 20 targets for a career-high 140 receiving yards. He's set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning the Dolphins will have the right to match any offer he receives from another team. Top tight ends Darren Waller (IR, groin) and Greg Dulcich are both slated to become unrestricted free agents, meaning Hill could face a relatively open depth chart if he does return to Miami. Still, Hill is primarily a blocking tight end and seems unlikely to ever emerge as a consistent target in the passing game.

Hopkins caught 22 of 39 targets for 330 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.

The veteran joined the Ravens on a one-year deal in the offseason and started the season strong. He caught touchdowns in each of his first two games and was remarkably efficient through the first six weeks of the season; Hopkins caught nine of 13 passes for 178 yards and two scores in that span. His best game the rest of the way was four catches for 41 yards. In fairness, it was a topsy-turvy year for the Ravens offense as it had to navigate a Lamar Jackson injury, but Hopkins still only managed to play 33 percent of the snaps. Hopkins, who turns 34 in June, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Adams (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Panthers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Adams ended up missing the final three games of the regular season due to a lingering left hamstring injury, but the Rams held him out in part to ensure that he would be closer to 100 percent for the postseason. The veteran wideout demonstrated some tangible signs of progress ahead of Week 18, as he practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday. Adams should be ready to handle a full load of snaps in the playoff opener.

Addison recorded an eight-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.

Top wideout Justin Jefferson (8-101-0 receiving line on 11 targets) was able to turn in a productive game against a Green Bay squad that was resting several key players ahead of the playoffs, but there little target volume left over for the Vikings' other pass catchers. After serving a three-game suspension to begin his third NFL season, Addison suited up for the final 14 contests and produced a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets while adding 81 rushing yards and another score on two carries. Though his average of 14.5 yards per catch was a career-best mark, Addison took a big step back in Year 3 in terms of touchdown and reception volume, largely due to subpar quarterback play. The wideout's outlook may not be dramatically better in 2026, barring drastic improvement from J.J. McCarthy (hand) or Minnesota looking outside the organization for an upgrade under center.

Mitchell finished the 2025 season with 59 carries for 341 yards and a touchdown while adding nine catches for 63 yards on 12 targets over 13 games.

This was a bounce-back season for Mitchell, who was limited to just five games in 2024 after recovering from a knee injury suffered as a rookie. Mitchell was inactive as a healthy scratch for the first month of the season before getting into the mix for the rest of the season. Though Mitchell never garnered more than nine carries in any game, he was effective with his chances by sustaining a 5.8 YPC figure over 59 rushes. He seemed to regain his speed with four carries of at least 20 yards. Mitchell enters the offseason as a restricted free agent, meaning the Ravens will be able to offer him various types of qualifying offers. Derrick Henry and Justice Hill are both under contract for 2026, however.

Robinson said Monday that he fractured his ribs in the first half of the Giants' Week 17 win over the Raiders, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Despite the injury, he finished the game in order to meet his goal of reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Robinson achieved the feat, finishing the 2025 season with a 92-1,014-4 line on 140 targets over 16 appearances before the Giants placed him on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 18. Robinson's fractured ribs should be fully healed by the time OTAs get underway in the spring, but whether the 25-year-old will remain with the Giants has yet to be determined. He's slated for unrestricted free agency this spring and could be a sought-after commodity for teams seeking an upgrade at slot receiver.

Fairbairn successfully converted six of six field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis.

Fairbairn, who tied a franchise record for field goals in a single game, upped his season total to 44 field goals, which tied an NFL single-season record set by David Akers in 2011 for the 49ers. Fairbairn, who missed two games in 2025 due to injury, converted 44 of 48 attempts (91.6 percent) and all 28 of his extra-point tries in 2025. He finished second in the NFL scoring with 160 points, behind only Seattle's Jason Myers (171).

Noel caught his lone target for 13 yards and returned one kickoff for six yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts in Week 18.

Noel finished with one or fewer receptions for the 11th time in 17 games. He's clearly fifth on the wideout depth chart, but the rookie is set as the team's top punt returner as Houston prepares for the playoffs beginning next Monday in Pittsburgh. Noel finished the 2025 regular season with 26 catches on 35 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns. He also topped the Texans by averaging 10.8 yards over 31 punt returns.

Kirk caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over Indianapolis in Week 18.

Kirk had the third-most snaps (39) among Houston's wideouts, finishing behind Jayden Higgins (55) and Xavier Hutchinson (54) while Nico Collins was a healthy inactive. A charitable view of that usage might be that a playoff-bound Houston team was protecting a veteran they'll need in the postseason, but Kirk's marginalization began several weeks ago. He had the fourth-highest snap share at WR (44.7 percent) during the regular season but just 14 receptions on 28 targets over the final nine games, as he found himself competing with rookie Jaylin Noel for work in the slot.
