| Footballguys view: Coker and Hubbard were the players to watch here. Hubbard scored twice and ran hard to keep the Panthers in this game. Coker finished with over 100 yards receiving and seemed to make a big play every time he touched the ball. Panthers fans can hold their heads high in defeat. The Panthers put up a fight and can be excited about what they're building for the future. |

| Footballguys view: Stafford struggled at times, but he led the team to the win late in the fourth quarter. Nacua and Adams were stars at the wide receiver position, and guys like Higbee and Parkinson made plays when they needed to at tight end. The Rams get this tough win on the road as they continue to march towards a Super Bowl. |

| Footballguys view: The Texans will go with Woody Marks as their lead back in the Wild Card Round. On Monday night against the Steelers, Nick Chubb should get onto the field as the no.2 back for Houston. Dare Ogunbowale might get some work on third downs if/when those two need a breather. |

He had career-high numbers in catches (93), yardage (1,429), and receiving touchdowns (9). A tag would next Pickens a one-year deal around $28 million for 2026.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers is a player the team would be interested in re-signing this offseason if he wants to play in 2026.

Bills | Dalton Kincaid delivering big plays Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid led the team with five touchdown receptions and 13 receptions of 20-plus yards despite missing five games during the regular season.
| Footballguys view: The Bills don't have an alpha no.1 receiver but they do have a playmaker at tight end in Kincaid. They'll pound the rock against the Jaguars on Sunday, but when they need to go through the air we're sure Josh Allen will be looking for the veteran tight end. |

NFL | Tommy Castellanos headed to draft Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Florida State University QB Tommy Castellanos has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Castellanos is a dual-threat quarterback who is seen as a developmental prospect. He's a shorter quarterback, measuring in at 5-feet, 11-inches tall. Castellanos must improve his field vision and accuracy as a passer to be an effective pro player. |
NFL | Marlin Klein declares for draft Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
University of Michigan TE Marlin Klein has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Klein is an athletic freak who can be a threat with his size/speed combination. Measuring in at 6-feet, 6-inches, and 250 pounds, Klein can rip the seam and beat defenders with surprising speed. He's also big enough to block effectively and uses his frame to box out smaller defenders. |
49ers | Tough test for Brock Purdy Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy faces the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round, and the Eagles allowed a league-low 14 passing touchdowns in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is battling a left shoulder injury, but he will be out there in the Wild Card Round. The Eagles have a tough defense with DC Vic Fangio, but we're certain Kyle Shanahan will have a gameplan to move the ball effectively so long as Purdy executes the plays as designed. |
Bills | Uphill battle for James Cook? Sat Jan 10, 01:02 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round, and the Jaguars allowed a league-low 85.6 rushing yards per game in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars might be the toughest team in the playoff bracket on either the AFC or NFC side. The Bills have their work cut out for them, and Cook is going to be the centerpiece of what they do. We'll see if Cook (and Josh Allen as a runner) can break the Jacksonville rush defense. |
Panthers | Bryce Young's option likely to be picked up Sat Jan 10, 10:53 AM
The Carolina Panthers are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on QB Bryce Young's rookie contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Young has grown during his pro career. At one point, Young looked like he might end up a bust. Instead, the 2023 no.1 overall pick led the Panthers to the Wild Card Round and played some good football. Against the Rams on Saturday, Young put up a fight with over 260 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers are building something with Young, so we'll see what else they put around him in the offseason. |
