  Bears | Luther Burden III injury not serious    Mon Dec 29, 10:01 AM

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (quadriceps) will undergo testing Monday, Dec. 29, but his quadriceps injury is not believed to be serious.

Footballguys view: Burden will undergo additional testing today. But even assuming he has avoided a serious injury, the expectation is that the Bears will rest the rookie for their regular-season finale against the Lions, with the hopes of him returning in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The belief is that top wideout Rome Odunze, who's missed the last few games due to a foot injury, will also be ready in time for the postseason.

  Colts | Michael Pittman Jr. slowed by injury     Sun Dec 28, 08:47 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (calf) left the Week 17 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he was able to return and finish up the game.

Footballguys view: Pittman's fantasy value has taken a dive since Philip Rivers took over. He returned and finished the day with two catches for 16 yards. His value in 2026 drafts is to be determined as the Colts go into the offseason with a huge question mark at quarterback.

  Jaguars | Parker Washington hits triple digits    Sun Dec 28, 07:43 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington had eight receptions for 115 yards on 10 targets in the Week 17 game against the Indianapolis Colts, and he ran for minus-5 yards.

Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Washington continues proving himself as a reliable target, racking up contested catches and playing much larger than his 5-10 frame. One week after setting a career high with 145 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Jags' win over Denver, Washington delivered again. On a day Trevor Lawrence went without a passing touchdown (but ran for two scores), Washington was an essential part of a Jacksonville air attack that is suddenly very diverse thanks to the presence of Brian Thomas Jr., the acquisition of Jakobi Meyers, and the ascension of Washington and tight end Brenton Strange.

  Panthers | One catch for Tetairoa McMillan    Sun Dec 28, 06:53 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught one pass for five yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. He was targeted four times during the game.

Footballguys view: It's not clear if the illness that made McMillan a late add to the questionable list affected his play because the Seahawks rarely allowed Bryce Young to have clean looks in the passing game. The rookie #8 overall pick lived up to the hype, but it's not clear if he has the quarterback to unlock his fantasy value long term.

  Titans | Chimere Dike busy in Week 17 loss    Sun Dec 28, 06:32 PM

Tennessee Titans TE Chimere Dike posted four receptions for 55 yards on five targets in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, while running once for seven yards. He also had a 33-yard kick return, and a 7-yard punt return.

Footballguys view: Dike broke the rookie all-purpose yardage record that was held by Tim Brown, which was 2,317 yards in 1988. The fourth round pick has been much more capable in the passing game than expected while bringing speed and playmaker instincts to the return game. He had two games with scores as a receiver and returner this season and has the look of a future cornerstone for this offense.

  Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed held to one catch before injury    Sun Dec 28, 06:17 PM

Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (concussion) caught one pass for eight yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17 before leaving the game because of a concussion. He was targeted one time during the game.

Footballguys view: Gregg Bell, of The Tacoma News Tribune, reported that Shaheed is in concussion protocol and his status for next week's matchup with the San Francisco 49ers was "in doubt." At the very least, Shaheed will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before playing again. On Sunday, with Cody White also exiting due to a groin injury, Cooper Kupp, Dareke Young, and Jake Bobo were available to work behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 72 yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He was targeted 12 times during the game.

Footballguys view: It wasn't a ceiling game for Smith-Njigba, but he wasn't a liability in PPR lineups, and he's surely a big reason that many fantasy teams were in the championship today.
