Broncos | Lackluster showing from Bo Nix Sun Jan 4, 10:37 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 14 of his 23 passes for 141 yards and rushed eight times for 49 yards in a 19-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18.
Link to storyTyler Higbee returned from injury with five receptions for 91 yards and a key fourth-quarter TD for the Rams (12-5), who will visit the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers (8-9) in the wild-card round.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Sean McVay said postgame that Higbee wasn't supposed to play a lot of snaps originally in his first game off injured reserve. But then tight end Terrance Ferguson got added to the injury report late in the week with a hamstring issue. He couldn't go, so Higbee needed to step up. He did just that, securing a season-high five catches for 91 yards and a score. The Rams ran 13 personnel often, with Higbee and fellow TE Colby Parkinson both playing significant roles. Don't be surprised if the position isn't a major factor in the postseason. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Tank Bigsby rushed 16 times for 75 and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, and he posted a 31-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: As the Philly Voice noted, operating behind Saquon Barkley on the depth chart, Bigsby makes something out of it with shiftiness and a willingness to lower his shoulder and charge through despite his 5-11, 215-pound frame. He can be handy for the Eagles going into the playoffs as a 1-2 punch with Barkley. Obviously, he can absorb punishment, which lessens it for Barkley on another potentially lengthy postseason run, while being able to make a play or two himself, too. Head coach Nick Sirianni and coordinator Kevin Patullo have to get him out there. |

The Rams offense put on a clinic in the second half of the team's 37-30 win over the Cardinals in Week 18. Matthew Stafford threw three touchdowns, including two to tight end Colby Parkinson. Those touchdowns were significant for Parkinson and the franchise. With them, Parkinson finished with eight receiving touchdowns on the season.
| Footballguys view: Not only were the TDs a career-high, but they're also a new Rams record for most by a tight end. Parkinson finished the year with 43 receptions for 408 yards -- also career-bests. The former Seahawk is in his second season with the Rams and has proven to be one of the more reliable pass-catchers for Stafford alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Parkinson took over as the team's starting tight end when Tyler Higbee went on injured reserve, and he remained a top contributor with rookie Terrance Ferguson still progressing. Expect him to be a prime contributor next season. |

The Arizona Cardinals have another 1,000-yard pass catcher on the roster. With Michael Wilson's 20-yard catch in the third quarter of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the wide receiver joined tight end Trey McBride in the 1K club. Wilson finished the game with 99 yards and a touchdown on five catches to push his yearly total to 78 catches for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Given how he started the season, with just eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown over the first five games, Wilson's finish is remarkable. With Jacoby Brissett taking over for Kyler Murray, plus Wilson getting WR1 opportunities with Marvin Harrison Jr. injured, the third-year pro was able to take off behind 65 catches for 855 yards and five touchdowns across the next 11 games. Offseason developments in Arizona will determine our view of Wilson in 2026, but he's off to a great start. |

To cap off the regular season, Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished with 131 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, along with 22 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown, and the Patriots completed their remarkable turnaround season with a 38-10 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: The veteran running back, who was a game captain Sunday, was the team's biggest impact-maker on their first offensive drive, carrying the ball twice for 65 yards on a three-play, 70-yard series in which rookie TreVeyon Henderson ran in for a 5-yard touchdown (his first of two scores). Pro Football Focus charted Stevenson with 104 yards after contact and three broken tackles in the performance. Stevenson, who was drafted as RB40 this summer, finished the regular season with 603 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while sharing the backfield with Henderson, who was drafted as RB18 heading into his first season. |

Link to storyMatthew Stafford passed for 259 yards and threw four touchdowns as the Rams rallied to secure the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs with a 37-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: Stafford passed Dan Marino for seventh place on the NFL's career TD passes list while finishing his MVP-caliber season leading the NFL with 4,707 yards passing and 46 TDs -- the second most in league history by a quarterback at least 37 years old. For our purposes, Stafford, who was drafted in the double-digit rounds as QB25 this summer, finished the year as QB3 overall. It's safe to assume his price will rise in 2026. |

Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland caught 10 of his 13 targets for a team-high 91 yards and a touchdown in a 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Although the rookie got off to a slow start this season, he's turned out to be a perfect fit alongside second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. Tom Brady, who was calling the game for Fox, believes that Loveland is comparable to his longtime tight end Rob Gronkowski. "He's like a mini Gronk," Brady said. Loveland finishes his rookie campaign with 58 receptions for 713 yards and six touchdowns. Those numbers showcased exactly why the Bears had such belief in the young tight end. Fantasy investors will likely share in that belief after Loveland's strong finish this season. |
