the game-winning touchdown<\/a>. But the Bears didn\u2019t completely hand Loveland the keys to the kingdom until after Christmas. He absorbed 48 targets over his final four games (including the playoffs), good for a 28-378-2 log.<\/p>\nAdvertisement<\/p>\n
This is going to push Loveland into pricy areas for next year\u2019s fantasy drafts, but I\u2019m here for it. Caleb Williams is also on the escalator and Ben Johnson is the right man with the play sheet.<\/p>\n
RB Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams<\/p>\n
Sean McVay usually employs a very narrow offense for fantasy purposes, relying on just a handful of skill players. But that tree expanded during the 2025 season, with Corum starting to become a proactive complement to starting RB Kyren Williams. Corum was the team\u2019s most effective back in Sunday\u2019s loss at Seattle (12 touches, 79 scrimmage yards), and he received double-digit touches in six of his final eight games. Corum also had six touchdowns on the year, with five of them coming after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

The Rams haven\u2019t soured on Williams and he\u2019ll be the clear starter entering 2026. But Corum probably has 8-12 touch equity in any game where he\u2019s healthy, and he\u2019ll shoot past that projection every now and then, if the Rams want to steer into a hot hand. Corum is on the flex radar for 2026 fantasy planning, and he\u2019s just one injury away from being a needle mover, too.<\/p>\n
WR Marvin Mims Jr., Denver Broncos<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how to quit this guy. Mims was an afterthought for most of the year but he was forced into action during the playoffs, coming through with a nifty 12-155-1 line on 14 targets over two games. I get it, the Broncos have a crowded receiver room, and Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant are still ascending talents. But let\u2019s not forget that Mims will only be 24 next year, too. Mims has already scored 11 regular-season touchdowns despite limited opportunities, and he\u2019s dynamic as a kick returner. He\u2019s screaming for a bigger role.<\/p>\n

WR Jalen Coker, Panthers<\/p>\n
Just making the NFL as an undrafted receiver out of Holy Cross is a big win for Coker, but he\u2019s not content to stop there. He stepped forward in his final six starts, posting a 28-378-4 log, including that 134-yard explosion against the Rams<\/a>. Coker has good size and the ability to high point the ball, which gives him the potential to score 8-10 touchdowns in a full season, even with Tetairoa McMillan already on the team. Coker will be a trendy fantasy sleeper next summer, but I\u2019ll still try to get a seat near the front of that bandwagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fantasy football season effectively ended a month ago, but it\u2019s important to scout the NFL playoff games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[4084,232,1036,391,227,590,231,258,42307,7,3545,4076,58,7471,249,6,1797,84,236,1011,4120,237,1453,2854,596,1275],"class_list":["post-707082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl-playoffs","tag-blake-corum","tag-broncos","tag-caleb-williams","tag-chicago-bears","tag-cincinnati","tag-colston-loveland","tag-denver","tag-denver-broncos","tag-fantasy-drafts","tag-football","tag-jalen-coker","tag-kyren-williams","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-marvin-mims-jr","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-playoff-games","tag-nfl-playoffs","tag-panthers","tag-pat-bryant","tag-rhamondre-stevenson","tag-seattle","tag-tetairoa-mcmillan","tag-the-patriots","tag-treveyon-henderson","tag-troy-franklin"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115963102952893924","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
