"The rookie out of Ole Miss spent all but Week 1 on the Colts' practice squad during the 2025 season, where he had two snaps on offense, including one rushing attempt. Bentley is expected to compete for a reserve role in the Colts' backfield as the team prepares to start offseason activities."

"Westbrook-Ikhine signed with the Dolphins after spending his first five seasons in Tennessee. The 2020 UDFA has settled in as a reliable situational receiver and spot starter, having posted a target share in the 11-12% range four years in a row. Though he was limited to 60 targets last season, Westbrook-Ikhine broke math by scoring nine TDs on 32 catches. Eight of the scores game in an eight game stretch in which he caught just 20 passes and his WR-best 15.0% TD rate is obviously nowhere close to sustainable. The 28-year-old will battle for No. 3 WR duties behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He should only be added to your roster in deep leagues if Hill or Waddle miss time."


"Westbrook-Ikhine joined forces with the Dolphins via a two-year, $6.5 million contract back in March, a deal that will go under the radar as one of the worst signings of the 2025 offseason. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Westbrook-Ikhine secured just 10 of 20 targets for 89 scoreless yards, a notable downturn after he had surpassed 350 receiving yards in four prior seasons with the Titans, including a 32-497-9 receiving line in 2024. The Dolphins have an "out" in Westbrook-Ikhine's contract this offseason for only $1.6 million in dead cap."

"Valdes-Scantling led Pittsburgh in targets in the absence of both DK Metcalf (suspension) and Calvin Austin (hamstring). However, he was unable to get on the same page with Aaron Rodgers, often seemingly a step or more off from where throws arrived. That was particularly noteworthy on the Steelers' final possession, as he was targeted three times unsuccessfully in the end zone to end the game. Even if Austin can return in Week 18 against the Ravens, Valdes-Scantling is likely to see a significant opportunity in a must-win matchup."

"Sanders was selected by Cleveland in the fifth round of April's draft. He completed a class-best 74% of his passes and avoided INTs (1.43%) in his two seasons at Colorado (24 starts), though it's worth noting he was conservative (7.4 aDOT is third lowest in this class) and took a ton of sacks (8.64% rate, second highest). He adds a bit with his legs (117-687-8 line during his time at Colorado), which will help his fantasy stock if he moves ahead of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel and takes over Cleveland's starting gig. Sanders is worth drafting only in dynasty and superflex."


"The Browns did score two touchdowns in the win, but neither had anything to do with Sanders and the offense -- Devin Bush had a 97-yard INT return in the first quarter, and Sam Webb took a fumble 47 yards to the house in the second. Sanders, a fifth-round rookie, wraps up his first NFL season having completed just 56.6 percent (120-for-212) of his passes with a 7:10 TD:INT in eight games, and he likely hasn't done enough to convince Cleveland not to look for an upgrade at quarterback in the offseason."
