Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught all three of his targets for just 26 yards in the 31-24 Wild Card win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 10 of his 11 targets for 129 receiving yards in the Wild Card loss to the New York Giants. Hockenson was a fantasy star after he was dealt to the Vikings, so expect him to come off the board among the first five tight ends in 2023 fantasy […]

The Ravens Defense Posts Four Sacks In Wild Card Loss

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams collected four sacks and a fumble recovery while holding the Bengals to just 234 total yards of offense.
