    Dowdle recorded five rushes for nine yards in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams. He added one reception on two targets for six yards.

    Analysis: Dowdle has been particularly inefficient to close the season, averaging only 3.3 yards per carry across Carolina's final four regular-season contests. He also lost his status as the team's lead back in the playoff loss, with Chuba Hubbard out-touching Dowdle 15-6. Dowdle is headed to free agency for the second consecutive offseason, and he is likely to be signed as a complementary back given his fade down the stretch after a strong start to 2025.

    Egbuka brought in one of three targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the 2025 regular season with 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets and two rushes for nine yards over 17 games.

    Analysis: Egbuka was thrust into a significant role from Day 1 of his rookie season, as the Buccaneers began the campaign without Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan due to ankle and neck injuries, respectively. The Ohio State product looked like an instant star after posting a 25-445-5 line on 38 targets over his first five career games, but Egbuka topped 64 receiving yards just once in the remaining 12 contests despite Mike Evans and Godwin missing significant time, and McMillan not making his season debut until Week 15. Nevertheless, there isn't any doubt about Egbuka's talent after he still nearly eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in his first season, and he could be set for a similar elevated target share in 2026 if Godwin isn't retained this offseason.

    Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 26 yards and caught both his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: It was the least productive game of the season for Taylor, as his longest run went for only eight yards and rookie DJ Giddens wound up leading the Colts with 30 rushing yards. Taylor missed his chance to catch James Cook for the NFL rushing crown, but he still wraps up an impressive campaign with 1,585 rushing yards and a career-high 18 TDs on the ground, along with a 46-378-2 line on 55 targets through the air. The 26-year-old RB will head into 2026 as the centerpiece of the Indianapolis offense.

    Williams handled 10 carries for 39 yards while catching both of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: Williams paced the Rams with 10 carries in the NFC Championship Game, but it was backup Blake Corum (9-55-0) who led the team in rushing yards Sunday. The 24-year-old Williams finished with the higher fantasy score after cashing in one of QB Matthew Stafford's three touchdown passes in defeat. Williams churned out another strong fantasy campaign as the Rams' starter in 2025 after amassing 1,533 total yards and 13 combined touchdowns in 17 regular-season appearances. The Notre Dame product remains under contract with the Rams through 2028, and the fact that he out-touched Corum in all three of Los Angeles' playoff contests bodes well for Williams retaining the lead-back role in 2026.

    Chase caught eight of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The superstar wideout fell just short of his eighth 100-yard performance of the season, but Chase did make his eighth trip to the end zone in 16 games with a four-yard toss from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. Chase wraps up 2025 with a 125-1,412-8 line on a career-high 185 targets, and his ability to continue posting elite numbers even with Burrow having missed half the year should keep him locked in as a first-round selection in 2026 fantasy drafts.
