At age 32, Cooper Kupp is looking for his 2nd Super Bowl ring. Having won the Super Bowl 56 MVP in 2022 with the Rams, Kupp knows what it takes to go the distance.

Kupp is past his prime, but has been a positive veteran influence on superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 9 year veteran managed a paltry 7.3 fantasy points per game in 2025 and had diminished numbers compared to his peak. Kupp’s impact may have lessened for fantasy purposes, but his influence on Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be on display in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

After 11 NFL seasons, Stefon Diggs is playing in first Super Bowl this Sunday, and the veteran wide receiver isn’t thinking about walking away — win or lose. He joined New England after tearing his ACL with Houston, but appeared in every game during the 2025 season, leading the Patriots in receiving along the way. Despite being 32 years old, Diggs has no plans on hanging it up after the Big Game. When asked by PlayerProfiler’s Jonny Tomma how long he wants to keep playing, Diggs said, “I’m gonna rock until the wheels fall off.” Makes sense. He remains under contract with New England for two more seasons, though the team could move on with a $9.7 million dead-cap hit.

In fantasy, Diggs was still highly productive in his first season in New England. He recorded his seventh 1,000-yard season, finishing with 85 catches and four TDs. He was a low-end WR2 in PPR formats, averaging 12.4 fantasy points per game (WR21). If he’s still catching passes from QB Drake Maye next season, Diggs could be a great value pick in 2026 drafts, with a current ADP is 80th overall on Underdog and 91th on FastDraft.

On Monday, Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that Matthew Stafford will not require surgery this offseason to repair a herniated disk. Interesting news considering the veteran’s back was a major storyline entering the 2025 season. He missed much of training camp, and no one knew how much it would impact his play for the 2025 season. Turns out, it was a non-issue, as Stafford led Los Angeles to the NFC Championship game. 

The 37-year-old Stafford was as sharp as ever this past season. He completed 65% of his passes for 4,707 yards and a career-high 46 TD passes against only eight interceptions. Stafford is an MVP candidate for the first time in his career and could take home the award at the 15th annual NFL Honors this Thursday night. Looking ahead, his future remains unclear, as Stafford isn’t under contract for 2026 and hasn’t yet declared if he intends to play.

Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson finished as the RB21 in fantasy football in 2025. Selected in round 2 of the NFL Draft, there were plenty of ups and downs.

Henderson split the backfield with veteran Rhamondre Stevenson. He managed 911 rushing yards on 180 rush attempts. His 12.1 fantasy points per game ranked 24th. From week 10-18, Henderson had 4 RB1 performances. While Henderson is an alluring talent along the likes of De’Von Achane and Jahmyr Gibbs, his ceiling is capped from the Patriots time share as well as Henderson’s struggles at times being sure of his assignment. 

Henderson was outcarried 25-3 by Stevenson in the AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos. Fantasy gamers will want to monitor the backfield share on the biggest stage Sunday for insight into how things may look heading into the 2026 season.

Mike LaFleur stood out early to the Cardinals in their search for a new head coach after firing Jonathan Gannon in January. Gannon finished with a record of 15-36 and had no playoff appearances in three seasons. Lafleur is a young offensive mind from the McVay coaching tree and helped the Rams finish in the top five of total offense in 2025. The LaFleur brothers now join the Harbaughs as head coaches in the NFL.

Taking your first head coaching job in the powerhouse NFC West division against your old team is not for the faint of heart, but LaFleur will have some pieces to work with, including the third overall pick in the NFL draft. The biggest decision for LaFleur and the Cardinals heading into 2026 is what to do with Kyler Murray. Is this going to be a reclamation project from day one for the new head coach to make Murray work? Does the team navigate trade waters, lowering the dead cap hit, or bite the bullet and release Murray? Not playing after suffering a foot injury in Week 5 muddied the waters about his future with the Cardinals, but with a weak quarterback class in 2026, a trade may now be a realistic possibility.

The Vikings tabbed Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as general manager four years ago, and recently signed him to a multiyear extension last off-season. Adofo-Mensah’s abrupt ending as GM is on the heels of Sam Darnold, the quarterback he let leave as a free agent, making the Super Bowl. The Vikings instead chose to move forward with first-round pick J.J. McCarthy as the default starter with nominal competition in the quarterback room. Reports have surfaced after Adofo-Mensah’s canning that Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell and the former GM disagreed on how to approach the quarterback room, with the surviving O’Connell eager to bring back Darnold only for Adofo-Mensah to force McCarthy onto O’Connell as starter.

With this front office shake-up, J.J. McCarthy dynasty bags just got a little bit heavier. McCarthy may be facing some stiff competition this off-season if the Vikings’ interim general manager, Rob Brzezinski, decides to address the quarterback position more aggressively than the deposed Adofo-Mensah. McCarthy played terrible football last season, posting a 79.3 True Passer Rating, which ranked 34th among qualified starters. With Kevin O’Connell’s sway in the front office increasing with this move, McCarthy’s time as Vikings starter will likely have a short leash.
