Raiders | Ashton Jeanty did some heavy lifting Thu Jan 15, 08:59 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty gained 863 of his 975 rushing yards after contact in 2025.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders did not do a great job of opening holes for Jeanty. He did a lot of the work on his own, and Jeanty showed why the Raiders selected him in the top 10. Jeanty is a low-end RB1 for Fantasy GMs in 2026, but we'd feel better about him if we knew the quarterback situation. |

Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland's 597 receiving yards from Week 9 onward were the second most among all tight ends, trailing only Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride.
| Footballguys view: Loveland had a strong finish to his rookie year. He's one of the best young tight ends in the game, and his play has helped the Bears win a ton of games. We're excited for him in the rest of the playoffs and in 2026's regular season. Loveland should be considered a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in the summer. |

Seahawks | Nick Emmanwori's role still evolving Thu Jan 15, 08:09 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori's versatility makes determining the best way to use him on defense a challenge, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'We've never really had a player like him, so we are kind of making it up as we go, to a certain extent,' Macdonald said.

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes hopes to be ready for opener Thu Jan 15, 07:37 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) said the rehab from his torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament is going great and that his goal is to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: It's a bit 'pie in the sky' to think Mahomes could be ready that soon, but stranger things have happened. Mahomes is working hard to get back on the field, but the Chiefs are going to be super cautious with their superstar quarterback along the way. In fact, we may not see him much if at all in the preseason. When training camp rolls around in late July, we'll have a better idea about his status for Week 1. |
