"Pineiro was the only player for the 49ers to make an impact on the box score after scoring his team's only points in a forgettable offensive showing Saturday. The 29-year-old took over for released kicker Jake Moody in Week 2 of the regular season and never looked back, nailing all but one of his 29 FGA with the only miss coming from 50-plus yards out. Pineiro will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but it would be surprising if the 49ers didn't re-sign him after he saved the franchise's catastrophic kicking situation."

"Herbert is entering his sixth NFL season following a solid but unspectacular fantasy campaign in 2024. Playing in Jim Harbaugh's and Greg Roman's slow-paced, balanced offense (as opposed to pass-heavy schemes of prior years), Herbert finished no better than ninth among QBs in pass attempts, pass yards, pass TDs, carries and rush yards. Herbert has now finished just outside the top 10 in fantasy PPG three seasons in a row, though he did improve in the second half of last season (24th during Weeks 1-7, but 10th in Weeks 8-18). Herbert's skill level, solid supporting cast and moderate rushing contributions are just enough to keep him in the fringe QB1 mix, but his ceiling is lower than in years past."	"After losing to the Texans on Saturday, the Chargers still can be anywhere from the No. 5 to 7 seed in the AFC side of the playoffs, but it appears the team will prioritize the health of Herbert and other key players this coming weekend, as Harbaugh told Kris Rhim of ESPN.com that those with "the most bruises" and need "the most healing" won't play. Herbert will get two weeks to rest up after absorbing a career-high 54 sacks during the regular season. Trey Lance figures to get the nod under center for Week 18."

"Tipton has been listed as a limited participant on all three of New Orleans' practice reports for Week 17. With Chris Olave (back) also considered questionable to play Sunday after having been added to the injury report Friday, Tipton could have a chance to handle an expanded role on offense alongside Kevin Austin if he's cleared to suit up versus Tennessee. That said, Olave has played through his back issue with regularity since roughly Week 13."

"Higbee is set for his 10th NFL season (all with the Rams) after missing most of 2024 while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL suffered during the 2023 playoffs. Higbee made his season debut in Week 16 and went on to appear in five games, including the playoffs. Unsurprisingly, he didn't play much of a role initially, but he seemed back to his usual self in the playoff game against the Eagles, posting a 7-54-1 receiving line on 10 targets. Higbee has enjoyed spurts of fantasy relevance at times throughout his career, but he's never finished better than 10th in PPG, and even that was way back in 2019. The 32-year-old will settle in no higher than third in target priority behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, so he's not worth your attention in the late rounds."

"The ankle injury had kept Higbee out of action for six consecutive games before the veteran tight end was reinstated from injured reserve ahead of this past Sunday's regular-season finale versus Arizona. Higbee delivered an impressive performance in his return, finishing with five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown on six targets in the Rams' 37-20 win. The Rams didn't indicate that Higbee suffered any sort of setback during Sunday's contest, so his limitations to begin the week of practice are likely just maintenance-related. Higbee is expected to be ready to go for Saturday's wild-card game at Carolina, though he may take more of a back seat in the passing game with wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) on track to play in that contest after missing the final three games of the regular season."

"Brightwell spent the entire 2025 regular season on the Bengals' practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated to the active roster for Weeks 12 and 13 against the Patriots and Ravens, respectively, and over those two games he returned four kickoffs for 83 yards. Brightwell will participate in offseason activities with the Bengals and look to compete for a spot on the active roster for the 2026 campaign."
