| Footballguys view: Good news for Maye and the Patriots here. He's not going to miss the Super Bowl, and practicing fully shows that he's on track for Sunday. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique), WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury), DL DeMarcus Lawrence (non-injury), DL Leonard Williams (non-injury), S Nick Emmanwori (ankle), FB Robbie Ouzts (neck), OT Charles Cross (foot) and OT Joshua Jones (ankle, knee) were limited during practice Wednesday, Feb. 4. WR Jake Bobo (hand), LB Ernest Jones (chest), S Julian Love (shoulder), FB Brady Russell (hand), LB Drake Thomas (shoulder) and TE Eric Saubert (hamstring) were full participants.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba is just getting some rest on a Wednesday before the big game. Darnold's oblique injury won't cause him to miss the game, but we'd like to see him fully practicing before the end of the week. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw 14 touchdowns and only one interception at home during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Hurts is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and he's great at home. With three years left on his deal, the Eagles will push for another Super Bowl run in 2026. Hurts should continue being a dominant passer at home. |

New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings (head) has his 21-day practice window expire and will remain on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledges that the team is likely to lose QB Malik Willis in free agency. He cites that he will likely look for a team where he will be able to compete for a starting job.
| Footballguys view: Everyone under the sun expects Willis to get a starting opportunity in 2026. Where that is nobody knows, but a team like the Steelers could show interest. Willis has a big arm, and his athleticism makes him a threat to run on any play. With his skill set, Willis could easily be a top-10 fantasy quarterback in the right system. |
Free-agent WR Terrace Marshall Jr. (Eagles) signed a reserve/future contract with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett could be a potential trade target for the New York Jets. Brissett played for offensive coordinator Frank Reich when he was the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: The Jets have Justin Fields as their top quarterback entering the 2026 season, and that's not good enough. Brissett could steady the ship for the Jets offense and at least give them a fighting chance. |
Jacoby Brissett player page
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) might be ready for the season, and the team is confident it will be able to retain him for 2026.
| Footballguys view: Jones suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14's loss to the Jaguars, so his availability for Week 1 is in question. Signing an effective veteran quarterback coming off this major injury is something the Colts should do. Jones had the Colts looking like one of the best teams in the league early in the 2025 season. |

Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir led the team with 719 receiving yards, with the next-closest receiving being WR Keon Coleman with 404 yards. The team is likely to address the receiver position in either the draft, free agency, or both.
| Footballguys view: The Bills thought Coleman could be a no.1 receiver, but his second pro season totals (404 yards) fell short of his rookie year (556 yards). In order to be active in free agency, the Bills must first get under the salary cap. OverTheCap.com currently has them $7.4 MM over the cap. |
Cleveland Browns head coach was asked if QB Shedeur Sanders would be QB1 for the team in 2026, and he said that it is to be determined. He added he 'absolutely' can earn the job, though.
| Footballguys view: "I think like any position on the team, that's still to be determined," Monken said of Cleveland's QB situation. "Am I excited about Shedeur? Am I excited about all the quarterbacks in the room? Am I excited to coach this football team? Absolutely." Monken talked about what he likes in a quarterback, focusing heavily on intangibles and personality. Meanwhile, the Browns have been in search of consistent, steady, productive quarterback play effectively since the team re-entered the league in 1999. It remains to be seen if Monken can develop Sanders or any other quarterback into that kind of player. |
Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers coach Troy Walters declined to interview for the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator opening.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com's Jonathan Jones, Walters, who's had multiple offensive coordinator looks the last few years, will stay in Cincy with hopes to win with one of the best units in football. |

New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien will remain with the team after interviewing for offensive coordinator positions.
| Footballguys view: The 38-year-old Tolzien interviewed with Pittsburgh on Monday. In 2025, Tolzien worked with rookie Tyler Shough, helping him finish the season having completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,384 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games with nine starts. Now Tolzien will continue to work with Shough to further his development. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson recorded 809 of his 1,006 receiving yards during the second half of the 2025 regular season. He also caught six of his seven touchdowns during that span.
| Footballguys view: Wilson joined tight end Trey McBride in the Cardinals' 1,000-yard receiving club. Given how he started the season, with just eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown over the first five games, Wilson's finish was 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 the six scores) over the next 11 games. Offseason developments in Arizona will determine our view of Wilson in 2026, but a new, offensive-minded head coach in Mike LaFleur is a great start. |

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts caught four of his five touchdowns in December and finished the month with 26 receptions and 329 yards.
| Footballguys view: Even though much of his success came after Kirk Cousins took over as the starting quarterback, Pitts' fifth season was his best as a pro, with 88 catches for 928 yards and the five touchdowns. His TE2 finish overall was the kind of outcome fantasy investors have been hoping for since his 1,000-yard rookie season. While the team's QB situation is still to be determined, new head coach Kevin Stefanski leaned heavily on the tight end position. We'll all be interested to see how Pitts might fit into that scheme -- assuming the unrestricted free agent remains a Falcon. |

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens said he would like to return to the Cowboys next season but believes his value has gone up after his 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys want to keep Pickens, and the team has the franchise tag available to use on the pending free agent, but the question is whether the sides can negotiate a long-term deal. The Cowboys traded with the Steelers for Pickens in the 2025 offseason. Dak Prescott is the best quarterback Pickens has played with, and it showed. His previous best season was 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and five touchdowns in 2023. We'll be following this situation closely as free agency draws nearer. |
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff said he is excited to work with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and that other quarterbacks that have worked with Petzing have given him great reviews.
| Footballguys view: Petzing will be Detroit's third offensive coordinator in the last three years. John Morton replaced Ben Johnson after Johnson became the head coach of the Bears in January 2025, but Morton's run calling plays ended when head coach Dan Campbell took over those responsibilities during the season. The Lions still finished fourth in the league in points scored, but it wasn't enough for the Lions to return to the postseason. Goff said he hopes the change leads to a return to the consistency of previous seasons. "I think he was a home run hire," Goff said. |

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb was officially named the team's new offensive coordinator Monday, Feb. 2.
| Footballguys view: Still only 31 years old, Webb had multiple head coaching interviews in recent weeks. The former NFL QB will stay in Denver for another season, and figures to be a hot head coaching candidate again next year. Until then, having his former position coach move up the ladder while remaining in Denver is good news for Bo Nix and his fantasy investors. For what it's worth, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Broncos are promoting Logan Kilgore to QB coach. |

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught nine of his 11 touchdowns during the second half of games this season. He did record 658 receiving yards in the first half of games and 563 receiving yards in the second half.
| Footballguys view: In other words, McBride was excellent. He finished 2025 with 126 receptions, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns. He averaged 18.6 PPR points per game. The next closest tight end was Kyle Pitts at 12.4. McBride, who finished as TE1 overall, scored 315.9 points. That's 105.1 points more than Pitts. Per Next Gen Stats, McBride's 169 targets ranked third in the NFL behind only Ja'Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown. It was three more than Puka Nacua's 166. Expect to pay up to land McBride in drafts this summer. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings caught five of his nine touchdowns on third down during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Jennings is a free-agent-to-be, and his future with the Niners is unclear. Still, with 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns on 122 receptions over the last two years, Jennings has been an essential piece of the team's offense. Will that translate into a big payday in San Francisco? A move to another team? We'll be watching that closely as the free-agent signing period draws near. |

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams is expected to return to the team next season, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Adams, 33, was a key contributor for the Rams in 2025, catching 60 passes for 789 yards with a league-leading 14 touchdowns. He missed some time with a hamstring injury, but caught 11 passes for 185 yards with a touchdown in three postseason games. Adams was also a boon for fantasy investors. Despite being limited to 14 regular-season games, the veteran finished as WR9 in total points. He was also WR9 on a points-per-game basis. Assuming all the pieces remain in place, fantasy managers find the Rams' offense a target-rich environment this summer. |

Free-agent QB Jake Haener (Saints) agreed to terms on a Reserve/Future contract with the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, Feb. 2, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Haener was involved in a competition for the starting job in New Orleans with Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough last season, but wound up in third position. The 2023 fourth-round pick spent most of the season on the practice squad and did not appear in any games. The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes coming off a torn ACL, so their other quarterbacks should get plenty of work in the offseason. Gardner Minshew and Chris Oladokun filled in after Mahomes' injury, but Minshew is not under contract for 2026. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee will receive time to decide if he wants to continue his playing career next season, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are well-equipped to handle a departure if Higbee chooses to call it a career. Colby Parkinson emerged as a solid starter while Higbee spent time on injured reserve this past season. In addition, rookie Terrance Ferguson also emerged as a viable option at tight end. We'll follow up on this situation as developments warrant. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (back) will not need to undergo surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disc in his back, according to head coach Sean McVay.
| Footballguys view: Stafford entered the 2025 season with the back injury but started in all 20 games. He was also very productive. He led the NFL with 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards this year, at one point throwing a record 28 touchdown passes between interceptions. McVay told reporters during his end-of-season press conference Monday that while he hopes Stafford will return, he doesn't have an answer yet. Stafford has a $40 million salary that becomes guaranteed on the fifth day of the new league year, which puts a soft deadline around the middle of March. We'll be watching for more. |

New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien will interview for the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator vacancy Monday, Feb. 2.
| Footballguys view: Tolzien was the quarterbacks coach for the final two seasons as McCarthy's run as the Cowboys' head coach. McCarthy also coached Tolzien when he was a quarterback for the Packers from 2013-2015, so landing the Steelers job would continue a long-running relationship between the two men. |

Denver Broncos passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb has officially interviewed for the offensive coordinator position for the team, and he is considered the leading candidate in Denver.
| Footballguys view: Davis, Denver's offensive pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach, becomes the third known candidate to have interviewed for the job since head coach Sean Payton fired Joe Lombardi last Tuesday. Buffalo quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry interviewed on Thursday, and Washington assistant head coach and offensive pass game coordinator Brian Johnson interviewed on Friday. We'll watch for more, but a promotion for Webb makes sense. |

Florida International University RB Kejon Owens scored on a 1-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter of the 2026 Senior Bowl for the National Team. He finished with seven carries for 20 yards, while adding a 3-yard reception.
Link to storyUniversity of Iowa PK Luke Stevens converted a 51-yard field goal attempt during cold and windy conditions at the 2026 Senior Bowl.
Link to storyUniversity of Michigan WR Donaven McCulley led all receivers at the 2026 Senior Bowl with four receptions for 50 yards on four targets, including a 24-yard reception.
Link to storyKentucky RB Seth McGowan had a standout 29-yard run for the National Team at the 2026 Senior Bowl, which was the longest play of the game. However, he also lost a fumble, and he had a pass drop, too.
Link to storyOklahoma RB Jaydn Ott rushed for 42 yards at the Senior Bowl, more than he had in all but one game this season with the Sooners, and he had a touchdown on eight carries. He also reportedly showed good pass-protection skills.
Link to storyUniversity of Indiana RB Kaelon Black rushed for a game-high 45 yards on eight carries, while posting nine yards on a pair of receptions at the 2026 Senior Bowl.
Link to storyNorth Dakota State QB Cole Payton was named player of the game for the National Team for his play at the 2026 Senior Bowl. The highlight of the day was a 19-yard run, while turning in completions of 24, 22 and 14 yards. However, he did have a few errant passes, too, and he was stuffed on a two-point conversion rushing attempt.
Link to storyBaylor QB Sawyer Robertson had a dismal Senior Bowl showing, completing just one of his five passing attempts with an interception for the National Team.
Link to storyVanderbilt QB Diego Pavia completed 10-of-13 passes for 78 yards at the 2026 Senior Bowl in the cold and wind in Mobile, Alabama. His passes were mostly on short routes, but one of the highlights was a nice escape from pressure, completing an 18-yard pass on a rollout.
Link to storyLSU QB Garrett Nussmeier completed 5-of-8 passes for 57 yards and an interception, while also running for a 3-yard touchdown at the 2026 Senior Bowl, earning MVP honors on offense.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane recorded 719 rushing yards after contact during the 2025 regular season, which ranked third in the NFL in that category.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Achane was basically the entire Dolphins offense at different points this season. His ability to break tackles made it a lot easier for him to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards for the first time, and it kept the Dolphins' offense on schedule. Miami's running game became its identity about halfway through the season, and Achane, who finished the season as RB3 in fantasy, was the reason why. Even with a new GM, head coach, and playcaller, expecting Achane to remain the most fantasy-relevant piece in this offense is not a reach. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams recorded 25 broken tackles during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL in that category.
| Footballguys view: Signed to a one-year deal after spending four years with the Denver Broncos, Williams had fewer than four yards per attempt the past two years in the league. But Williams excelled in the Cowboys' zone running scheme. He finished with 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground while averaging 4.8 yards per attempt en route to an RB9 finish in fantasy. Now, the Cowboys have to decide if they're going to bring him back as an unrestricted free agent or allow him to hit the open market. |

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix recorded a league-leading seven game-winning drives during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Nix's 24 regular-season wins are tied for the most in NFL history in a player's first two seasons, and he posted more wins in 2025 than any quarterback has in a single season in franchise history. In 2025, the Broncos tied a franchise record for regular-season wins, earned their first division title in a decade and captured the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The late-game comebacks added to that. Nix, who finished 2025 as QB9 in fantasy points, is recovering from ankle surgery on his ankle. He expects to recover in four to six weeks. |
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams produced a league-leading six fourth-quarter comebacks during the 2025 regular season.
| Footballguys view: Williams flourished in his first year working with coach Ben Johnson, setting a Bears single-season passing record with 3,942 yards and ranking fifth in the NFL with a 27-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The late-game heroics added to that. The former USC standout was at his best in crunch time, regularly displaying his clutch gene with remarkable highlight throws that had to be seen to be believed. Fantasy investors can expect to pay a premium for Williams, who finished as QB5, in 2025. |
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith was sacked 55 times during the 2025 regular season, which was tied for the most in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation pointed out, Smith led the league in another aspect: He was among the NFL leaders in passing yards during garbage time. Smith threw for 736 passing yards when the game was out of reach in 2025. It was the third most in the league last season. That means Smith accounted for nearly a quarter of his total season passing yards during garbage time. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza will likely be drafted by the 3-14 Raiders with the first pick overall in April's draft, and it remains to be seen where Smith will be. |
Geno Smith player page
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward was sacked 55 times during the 2025 regular season, which was tied for the most in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: It seems safe to assume that addressing the offensive line will be a priority under new coach Robert Saleh and OC Brian Daboll. We'll remind you that Ward improved noticeably late last season. The rookie threw only six touchdown passes through the first 12 games, but threw two scoring strikes per game over his final four outings (he was hurt early in Week 18). He was intercepted just once over that span after getting picked off six times in the first 12 games. That late-season improvement is reason for optimism. Better protection would add to that. |
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was blitzed 163 times during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Nonetheless, Prescott delivered one of the best seasons of his career. As ESPN.com noted, for the fourth time, he threw for more than 4,000 yards and had at least 30 touchdown passes. He completed at least 60% of his passes in each of the first 15 games. He became the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards (35,989), passing Tony Romo. He is tied for the NFL lead with six 300-yard passing games. He is tied for third in multi-touchdown passing games (10). He also finished the season as QB6 in fantasy points. |
