Milligan played in 11 games as a rookie in 2019, racking up 15 tackles as a backup defender and contributor on special teams. The former undrafted free agent will turn 26 in August.

Hooper will end his first season in New England with 476 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 45 catches (59 targets). The 30-year-old was also third on the team with five pass plays over 20 yards and showed a little bit of juice after a disappointing season last year in Las Vegas. That’s important for Hooper, who will enter the offseason as a free agent. He’s unlikely to land a starting job next season, but he could easily be the second tight end on a team that utilizes two tight ends often. Regardless, he figures to need an injury ahead of him on the depth chart to be fantasy-relevant in 2025, no matter where he signs.

It was another season of PPR scamming for Robinson, who set season-highs in nearly every receiving mark. More than a year removed from a torn ACL he suffered in 2022, Robinson was healthy for all 17 games this season and proved to be a valuable asset out of the slot, where he lined up from on nearly 80 percent of his snaps. Robinson hasn’t ben the explosive playmaker we saw out of college, but his ability to move the chains and keep the offense on schedule makes him a valuable asset. He’ll profile as a WR3/WR4 in PPR leagues next season in an offense that should be much improved from this season.

Tracy took over as the Giants’ RB1 in Week 5 against the Seahawks after Devin Singletary was sidelined with an injury. The rookie never lost his grip on the starting job, as he saw double-digit opportunities in all but one game for the rest of the season, while posting three 100-plus yard rushing performances. His rookie season didn’t come without its struggles, as he surpassed 50 rushing yards just twice over the final eight weeks, but Tracy has proven that he’s more than deserving of a role heading into next season. The Giants need to add more weapons to their backfield, which could have an impact on Tracy’s 2025 outlook, but there’s plenty to build on for the rookie fifth-rounder.

Nabers’ season ends with a line of 109-1204-7. The No. 6 overall pick did everything that was expected of him in his rookie campaign despite battling through a number of nagging injuries this offseason. At his best, Nabers was erupting for 7-171-1 against the Colts, but he steadily produced for fantasy managers all season long, surpassing 50 receiving yards in all but one game this season. Nabers proved to be a target hog in his rookie campaign and produced at a high level despite catching passes from four different quarterbacks on the season. An easy lock to be a top-12 fantasy receiver next season, Nabers should benefit from what we can only assume will be improved quarterback play next season and already has the look of another great receiver for years to come.

Oliver (20 snaps) and Mason Kinsey (37 snaps) combined for Oliver’s exact receiving line in the box score. The Titans could use some receiver depth next season. In theory, one of these guys should be ready to stand in for Tyler Boyd, who enters free agency, in 2025. In actuality neither of them has shown enough to be trusted with that. Oliver finishes with a 6/95 receiving line on nine targets, while Kinsey ends with 2/17 on two targets.

Robinson has had a quiet finish to the season, totaling just 16 yards on six touches in Week 18. He finishes the regular season averaging just over four yards per carry for 794 total rushing yards and eight rushing scores. His role as the Commanders’ plodding back stays in tact as Austin Ekeler returns to be the receiving back. Expect Robinson to split backfield touches with Ekeler as the Commanders head into the playoffs, with a road game first up for Wild Card Weekend.

Douglas will finish the season with 66 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards and three touchdowns. The 24-year-old put up almost all of those numbers in the 12 games that Drake Maye played this season, totaling 52 catches for 503 yards and three touchdowns in games that Maye played in. Douglas was also second on the team with eight pass plays that went for at least 20 yards and that’s despite running almost all of his routes in the intermediate areas of the field. When you watch New England, it’s clear that Douglas is their most dynamic receiver and a talented playmaker in the open field. Another year with Drake Maye under center, and hopefully a receiving weapon on the outside to draw attention away from Douglas, could lead to a solid season that could put him on the FLEX radar in PPR formats. New England doesn’t figure to be good enough on offense for Douglas to post much more value than that despite his talent.

Gainwell got the start with Saquon Barkley (rest) sidelined ahead of the NFC Wild Card round. The Eagles’ RB2 didn’t do much with the work given to him, with his longest carry on the day going for five yards. He was eventually replaced by rookie Will Shipley, who fared much better on the day, picking up 67 total yards on 14 touches. Neither back is expected to see much action this postseason as long as Barkley is healthy.
