Sanders completed 11 of 22 passes for 111 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.

The Browns did score two touchdowns in the win, but neither had anything to do with Sanders and the offense -- Devin Bush had a 97-yard INT return in the first quarter, and Sam Webb took a fumble 47 yards to the house in the second. Sanders, a fifth-round rookie, wraps up his first NFL season having completed just 56.6 percent (120-for-212) of his passes with a 7:10 TD:INT in eight games, and he likely hasn't done enough to convince Cleveland not to look for an upgrade at quarterback in the offseason.

Washington exited Sunday's game against the Patriots with a thumb injury.

Before his departure from the contest, Washington caught one pass for two yards and a TD and ran twice for 22 yards. Cedrick Wilson, Theo Wease, Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the Dolphins' available WRs in Week 18 while Washington is sidelined.

Forsyth (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Forsyth briefly left Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he's back in the game at center after being cleared by medical staff to return. Sam Mustipher is on standby to reenter the game if Forsyth leaves again.

Jefferson caught eight of 11 targets for 101 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.

Jefferson endured a tough season due to the Vikings' issues at quarterback, but with his first 100-yard performance since Week 5, the superstar wideout was able to record his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign to begin his career. Jefferson wraps up the season with an 84-1,048-2 line on 141 targets, the worst yardage and touchdown totals of his career. One of Minnesota's biggest priorities this offseason will be finding a way to build chemistry between J.J. McCarthy (hand) and his most talented target.

Blue rushed 16 times for 64 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

Blue spent most of his rookie season as a healthy inactive, but he took on the lead-back role in the regular-season finale as the Cowboys played without Javonte Williams (shoulder) and Malik Davis (eye/calf). Blue made the most of his opportunity, scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 14-yard run in the first quarter. The 2025 fifth-round pick will try to carve out a larger role in his second NFL campaign after dressing for only five games as a rookie. Blue had 38 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown while catching his only target for five yards across those five appearances.

Lamb caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 75 catches for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets.

Lamb posted the lowest touchdown total of his career and his fewest receiving yards since his 935-yard rookie regular season in 2020, as he was overshadowed by George Pickens' 93-1,423-9 receiving line in Dallas' receiving corps. The 26-year-old Lamb's 14 games played in 2025 were also a career low. Lamb is locked in with Dallas, having signed a four-year, $136 million extension in August of 2024, while Pickens is expected to re-sign with the team in the offseason. Despite boasting one of the league's best wide receiver duos, the Cowboys missed the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record.

Mason carried the ball 14 times for 94 yards in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Packers.

With Aaron Jones (hip) ruled out for the Vikings' regular-season finale, Mason led the backfield with his best yardage total since Week 3. Fullback C.J. Ham vultured a one-yard TD run in the second quarter, however. Mason finishes his first season in Minnesota with 758 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 159 carries, and with both Jones and Mason on affordable contracts in 2026, the duo will likely remain in some form of timeshare next season.

Shough completed 23 of 35 passes for 259 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing three times for 34 yards and another score in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Shough was able to head into the offseason with yet another encouraging outing, capping off a second half of the season in which the 2025 second-round pick cemented himself as the Saints' starter heading into 2026. Shough opened New Orleans' scoring with a one-yard run late in the second quarter, and he went on to add a 16-yard scoring toss with just over a minute remaining that featured a nifty one-handed catch from Ronnie Bell. Shough finished his rookie season having completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards and a 10:6 TD:INT while adding a 45-186-3 rushing line across 11 games.

Pickens caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 93 catches for 1,423 yards and nine touchdowns on 137 targets.

Pickens didn't add much to his career-high totals in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns before the Cowboys took out their key offensive starters at halftime. The 24-year-old wide receiver is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though the Cowboys are expected to retain Pickens, either through an extension or with the franchise tag. Pickens posted the best season of his career after being acquired from the Steelers in an offseason trade, but Dallas failed to reach the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record.

Prescott completed seven of 11 passes for 70 yards and rushed twice for minus-1 yard, in addition to losing a fumble, in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 4,552 passing yards and a 30:10 TD:INT.

Prescott came into the regular-season finale with the most passing yards, completions and pass attempts in the NFL. With the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention, he didn't add much to those totals before being replaced by backup Joe Milton at halftime. Prescott is set to carry a cap hit slightly north of $74 million in 2026, but the Cowboys have little choice but to stick with the 32-year-old quarterback despite the team's lack of playoff success.
