The fourth-round pick was a disappointment as a rookie, but he’s the only Eagles safety signed after this season. It’s a lot like when the Eagles had Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown in place to take over in their third-year at cornerback.

Conklin found himself on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers’ 500th career touchdown pass in Sunday’s win over the Dolphins. Conklin didn’t have quite the season some expected with a healthy Aaron Rodgers under center, but the veteran tight end now has four-straight seasons with 50-plus receptions to his name. A viable streaming option for fantasy managers this season, Conklin is now set to hit free agency, where he should see a healthy market as added depth on a roster. It seems unlikely a team would view him as a full-time starter, although we can’t rule it out in the right situation. Any fantasy value he has will be largely dependent on his landing spot this offseason.

It was the allure of playing with Aaron Rodgers that drew Adams to the Jets in exchange for a conditional 2025 third-round pick being sent to the Raiders. Adams hoped to do a little ring chasing with the Jets but instead found himself in another disastrous situation not all too unfamiliar from the one he left in Vegas. While the targets were aplenty (102) during his time in New York, he’s unlikely to have Rodgers throwing him passes again next season. From a production standpoint, Adams’s numbers were on par with what we saw last season. He surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth-straight season and averaged 0.0 YAC/REC – his highest mark since his rookie season. Adams is under contract through 2026, but could be on the move this offseason if the right team comes calling. While his best years are likely behind him, Adams may still have one or two top-24 fantasy seasons in him.

From a numbers standpoint, Wilson had yet another solid season with the Jets. The 24-year-old wideout has hit the 1,000-yard mark in each of his first three seasons while also scoring a career-high seven touchdowns. Despite an otherwise productive season that also included the second-most targets of his career (154), Wilson voiced his displeasure with the offense late in the season and has hinted at the possibility of wanting out of New York this offseason. The likely departure of Aaron Rodgers could factor into whether or not Wilson ultimately asks out, but this certainly won’t be the last we hear of any rumors regarding Wilson and his standing with the team. Whether it’s with the Jets or someone else, Wilson will profile as fringe WR1/WR2, who has earned 148 or more targets in each of his three seasons as a pro.

Hill initially began his response diplomatically, saying “I have to do what’s best for me and my family — if that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m about to open up that door for myself.” His statements became more declarative as the questions continued though. When pressed at the end of the exchange about whether he was actually thinking about leaving, Hill stammered before finally saying, “yeah, if... yes,” while walking off. The Dolphins have time to iron things out this offseason but it appears as though Hill’s time with the Dolphins could be over.

Hall would have had a chance at his first 1,000-yard rushing season had he not missed Week 14’s game against the Dolphins. Still, the third-year back turned out 1,384 yards from scrimmage while averaging over five yards per touch for the second straight season. Hall continued to operate as the Jets’ bell cow back in 2024. He only surpassed 100 rushing yards once on the season, but had four games in which he totaled 100-plus yards from scrimmage while finding the end zone seven times. Rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis didn’t show anything that would suggest they’ll be taking touches from Hall next season, which will put him on the fantasy radar as a high-end RB1, yet again.

Rodgers threw his 500th career touchdown in Sunday’s win over the Dolphins, as he now heads into yet another offseason with his future in question. The 41-year-old signal-caller took another noticeable step back in 2024, looking more and more like a player who was on the verge of being caught by Father Time. In the right situation, Rodgers may still have something to offer a team as its starting quarterback, although, it seems unlikely that team will be the Jets. While he’s still under contract with the team next season, Rodgers hasn’t exactly shied away from the fact that this season will probably be his last in the Big Apple. While it’s possible the Jets opt to retain him as a bridge to whatever quarterback they bring in next season, things have been so tumultuous during Rodgers’ tenure that a split is probably best for both sides. Rodgers said he will think about his playing future early in the offseason, with plans to decide before NFL free agency kicks off in March. Now, we wait.

Barrows adds that Guerendo will undergo more testing on Monday. Guerendo was dragged down by a defender on his left side, causing Guerendo’s left knee to buckle inward. Tomorrow’s tests should provide clarity as to the full diagnosis, as well as Guerendo’s expected recovery timeline.

Mayer was fated for a quiet season after the Raiders drafted generational tight end Brock Bowers in the first round. Things went from bad to worse when he was placed on the reserve/NFI list early in the year for personal reasons. Mayer missed six games and returned to a backup role later in the season. He strangely erupted for seven catches and 68 yards in Week 14 but did little aside from that game. It was his only contest with more than two catches or 14 yards until Week 18. The Raiders could view Mayer as a strong backup option to Mayer, but the former second-round would still fetch a strong return in a trade. His name will undoubtedly come up in trade talks, giving dynasty managers something to cling to heading into 2025.

Laube’s first offensive snaps in the NFL came in Week 6. He got two reps on offense, fumbled his first carry, and was never heard from again. The Raiders put him in timeout as a healthy scratch for a few weeks before bringing him back in the fold as a high-volume special teams player. Laube did not log any more snaps on offense after Week 6, let alone touches. Having been exiled from the offense entirely, it’s fair to wonder how Laube fits on the team’s roster in 2025.

After going 14 games without a score, McBride heads into the offseason with a touchdown in back-to-back contests. The lack of scoring was legendary, but so was the compiling. His 111 receptions (in 16 games) finish just seven short of the all time record for a tight end, while his 1,146 yards are a sky-scraping number for a seam stretcher. Still only 25 with increased compiling and efficiency (he entered Week 18 second in yards per route run amongst tight ends) each of the past two seasons, McBride has a claim to TE1 overall status in dynasty leagues even with Brock Bowers in the picture. McBride is eligible for a monster extension this offseason.
