With the college football season officially over, we’re effectively working with a complete data set until the pre-draft process kicks into full gear, making this the perfect time to revisit rookie rankings, this time through a 10-team lens. When we shift the math from 12 teams to 10, the waiver wire suddenly becomes a kinder, […]

Jordan Whittington Scarcely Used in Return From Knee Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was the wideout most frequently on the field with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets in Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Bears. However, his two targets in the overtime win were only the seventh most on his own team, and he was largely a non-factor […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Sees Season Highs Across the Board in Divisional Round

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. saw season highs in offensive snaps, targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns in the team's Divisional Round win over the Bills. Denver seemed to come out of the gates with a clear gameplan, feeding rookie Pat Bryant (concussion) on the first three passing plays of the game. However, when […]

Tyler Higbee Slips Down the Depth Chart

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee was on the field for 39 offensive snaps in the team's Wild Card win over the Panthers, catching two of his three targets for 45 yards. However, with rookie Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) back from a two-week absence, Higbee took only eight snaps in Sunday's Divisional Round win over […]

Blake Corum Sees Usage Dip in Divisional Round

Los Angeles running back Blake Corum, who had carved out a healthy role in the Rams' backfield in the second half of the season, saw only six total opportunities to Kyren Williams' 26 in the team's Divisional Round win over the Bears. The narrative heading into the playoffs had been that Los Angeles was saving […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Unlikely to Factor into AFC Championship Game

Denver running back Jaleel McLaughlin totaled 21 yards on four touches in the Broncos' overtime win over the Bills in the Divisional Round. With the team opening the practice window of J.K. Dobbins (foot) ahead of the AFC Championship Game, McLaughlin may see even fewer touches against a Patriots defense that has been dominant against […]

2026 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Mock Draft: 1QB Leagues

The fantasy football season is officially over. Trophies have been handed out, group chats have gone quiet, and attention now turns to the next important football event of the year. No, not the Super Bowl. The Panini Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. While redraft managers are selling themselves on the myth of stress-free football viewing, […]

Josh Allen to Play at Less Than 100%, Will Have No Limitations

Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen (foot) is battling three separate ailments, and he will not be at 100% when the Bills take on the Denver Broncos to open the Divisional Round on Saturday. Still, he is not expected to have any limitations, according to NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe. Allen visited the blue medical tent multiple times […]

John Harbaugh, Giants Finalize Five-Year Deal

John Harbaugh and the New York Giants have officially finalized a five-year deal to make him the team's newest head coach and the first domino to fall in this year's coaching cycle. Harbaugh had been fired from the same position with the Baltimore Ravens after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2021, and […]

Courtland Sutton a Strong Play in Fantasy Playoff Leagues

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, making his 2026 playoff debut on Saturday, will face a Bills defensive unit missing three of their starters, including Jordan Poyer and Maxwell Hairston in the secondary. A similarly banged-up Buffalo defense saw Jacksonville wide receiver Parker Washington put up 107 yards and a touchdown in a back-and-forth Wild […]

RJ Harvey Faces Plus Matchup in Playoff Debut

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey makes his playoff debut on Saturday against a Bills defense that ranked 26th in the NFL against fantasy running backs in the regular season. Down the stretch, in particular, Buffalo's defense was viewed as a run funnel, with teams finding more success on the ground than through the […]

Ty Johnson Inactive for Divisional Round

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (ankle) will be inactive when the Bills face the Broncos to kick off the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs on Saturday. Johnson, who missed the team's Wild Card win over the Jaguars with an ankle injury, was able to return to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity, […]

Josh Allen Remains a Must-Start in All Fantasy Playoff Leagues

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen finished Sunday's Wild-Card win over the Jaguars with 273 passing yards, 33 rushing yards, and three total touchdowns despite playing with a banged-up and underwhelming receiving corps. The Bills placed Joshua Palmer (ankle) on Injured Reserve one day before the game and lost Gabe Davis (knee) to a torn ACL […]

Courtland Sutton in Line for Heavy Workload in Denver's Playoff Opener

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton saw double-digit targets in four straight games before a Week 18 win over the Chargers that saw many of the team's starters pulled early. Coming off an extended rest, Sutton hopes to pick things up where he left off, after finishing with at least 62 receiving yards in four […]

Nico Collins Not Spotted at Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (concussion) was not seen during the open portion of Wednesday's practice after leaving Monday night's Wild-Card win over the Steelers with a concussion. The Texans face the Patriots on Sunday, and if he hopes to suit up, Collins will need to clear the league's concussion protocol, which becomes complicated […]

Matthew Stafford Carries MVP-Caliber Play into Playoffs

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (finger) was able to shake off a relatively sluggish start and a minor finger sprain in Saturday's Wild Card win over the Panthers, finishing the day with 304 passing yards and three touchdowns to his one interception. Given that he was inches away from being credited with a fourth […]

Demarcus Robinson a Necessary Piece of 49ers' Passing Offense

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught six passes for a team-high 111 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Eagles. With the injury-stricken status of the 49ers' pass-catching depth chart, he could be tasked with handling a similarly heavy workload in a Divisional Round clash with the Seahawks […]

C.J. Stroud a Safe Start in Fantasy Playoff Leagues

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud averaged 234 passing yards per game in his five full starts since returning from the mid-season concussion that cost him three games. In that time, he threw six touchdowns to two interceptions while adding 169 yards and a score in a Week 18 win over the Colts that saw most […]

Aaron Rodgers Could Struggle in Playoff Return

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns to the playoffs for the first time since the 2021 season, and on Monday night, he faces a Texans defense that has given quarterbacks fits all year long. Houston has held opposing quarterbacks 4.1 fantasy points below their season-long average, topped only by the Minnesota Vikings. The 42-year-old Rodgers […]

DK Metcalf Faces Tough Draw in Return From Suspension

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf returns from his two-game suspension, and on Monday night, he faces a Texans defense that finished the regular season as the fourth most difficult matchup for fantasy wide receivers. On average, the Texans held opposing wide receiver rooms 4.4 points below their season-long average in half-PPR formats. With Metcalf […]

Dalton Schultz Boasts Sneaky Upside in Wild-Card Matchup

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz closed the year as a top-12 fantasy tight end in four of the last six weeks of the regular season, and in Monday night's Wild Card matchup in Pittsburgh, he faces a Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points above expectation to the position. With Schultz earning […]

Jaylen Warren Faces Difficult Matchup in Playoff Opener

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren finished the regular season with 1,291 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns, but in Monday night's Wild Card finale, he faces a Texans defense that has been among the most punishing all season long. Houston has been the 8th most formidable fantasy defense in terms of limiting opposing running […]

Jordan Love a High-Upside Play in Fantasy Playoff Leagues

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love managed to stay off the injury report a week after clearing the league's concussion protocol, and he heads into Saturday night's Wild Card matchup against the Bears with no limitations. In his only full game against Chicago this season, Love threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns, finishing as […]

Caleb Williams Should Benefit From Full Complement of Wide Receivers

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will get his first taste of postseason action in Saturday night's Wild Card matchup with the Packers, and it appears he will do so with his full complement of wide receivers. After missing the past five games with a foot injury, second-year wideout Rome Odunze (foot) carried no injury designation […]

DJ Moore a Boom-or-Bust Play in Fantasy Playoff Leagues

Chicago wide receiver DJ Moore, along with most of the Bears' pass-catchers, has had an up-and-down fantasy season, finishing as a top-10 receiver four separate times in half-PPR formats, while landing outside the top 50 in six different weeks. With Rome Odunze (foot) carrying no injury designation into Saturday night's Wild Card matchup with the […]

D’Andre Swift Opens Playoffs Against a Banged-Up Packers Front

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift finished the regular season just south of 1,400 yards from scrimmage, while scoring double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career, and in Saturday night's Wild Card opener, he faces an injury-stricken Packers defensive front. Without their most impactful front-seven defender, Micah Parsons (knee), Green Bay allowed an […]

Josh Jacobs Could Return to Early-Season Form in Playoffs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is off the injury report for the first time since Week 11, after a late-season knee injury limited his impact down the stretch. After being rested for the team's Week 18 season finale, Jacobs recently told reporters that he's feeling better than he has in six weeks, and […]

Christian Watson in Line for a Strong Playoff Opener

Before being rested for the season finale, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson had emerged as the team's most dangerous downfield threat, averaging 65.6 yards and almost a touchdown per game across his last five outings. Against a Chicago defense that has allowed more than five fantasy points above expectation to the position, he […]

Lane Johnson Could Return for Wild-Card Weekend

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (foot), who has been out since Week 11 with a foot injury, is listed as questionable for Sunday's Wild Card matchup with the 49ers, but there is a growing sense that he could suit up and play this week. Johnson has been a limited practice participant leading up to […]

Keon Coleman Expected to Play Against Jaguars

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, who has been a healthy scratch for several games this season, is expected to play in the team's Wild Card matchup with the Jaguars and could see an expanded role, according to Cameron Wolfe. Joshua Palmer has been downgraded to Out ahead of Sunday's contest, leaving Coleman and Khalil […]
