Saquon Barkley A Premier Option In Wild-Card Round

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is a premier running back option in Sunday's Wild Card showdown against the Minnesota Vikings. The superstar back disappointed with 53 scrimmage yards in a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, but he tallied 133 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the […]

Daniel Jones An Underrated Option In Wild-Card Round

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is an underrated quarterback option in Sunday's Wild Card matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. During the regular season, the Vikings allowed the fifth-most points per game and produced the fourth-lowest pressure rate against QBs. Meanwhile, the former first-round pick provides a solid floor after he rushed for a career-high […]

Jaguars Defense A Middling Option In Wild-Card Round

The defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars is a middling option in Saturday's Wild Card game against the Los Angeles Chargers. In the last three games of the season, the Jaguars allowed a total of 22 points. Jacksonville's defense has also scored a touchdown in three out of its last four games. That being said, the […]

Evan Engram Is Worth Considering In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is worth considering in Saturday's Wild Card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. In his last two games, the former first-round pick has combined for only five receptions for 43 yards on six targets. Despite his recent quiet outings, we've seen Engram get a consistent number of targets and […]

Zay Jones A Viable WR Option In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is a viable wide receiver to consider in Saturday's Wild Card game versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has combined for only eight catches for 59 yards in the last three weeks, but he could bounce back on Saturday against the Chargers. Trevor Lawrence has been one of the […]

Christian Kirk A Solid WR Option In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is a solid wide receiver to consider in Saturday's Wild Card matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. After combining for five receptions for 43 yards in his previous two games, the former second-round pick hauled in six passes for 99 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 versus the […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Has Fantastic Matchup In Wild-Card Round

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has a fantastic matchup in the Wild Card Round against the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-year back faced a stout run defense of the Tennessee Titans in Week 18, but that won't be the case versus the Chargers on Saturday. The Chargers boast the No. 29 ranked rush […]

49ers Defense Faces Stalling Seattle Offense

The San Francisco 49ers defensive unit faces a Seahawks offense that has cooled down lately. Since Week 13, the Seahawks have not scored 30 or more points in a game, and they have only scored 20 or more points in a game three times. Seahawks QB Geno Smith's prowess has declined somewhat. He has not […]

Robbie Gould Is A Viable Starter In Wild-Card Round

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould has benefitted from the 49ers' scoring surge in the second half of the season. Since Week 8, Gould has attempted an average of two field goals per game, made 90.0% of them, and attempted 3.6 extra points per game, missing only one. In fact, he has attempted a field […]

George Kittle Has Great Matchup In Wild-Card Round

Four weeks ago, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught two touchdown passes against the Seattle Seahawks to begin what has been a four-game touchdown-scoring streak in which he has found the end zone seven times. Now in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, the 29-year-old faces the same team against which he […]

Deebo Samuel Must Break Off Big Play To Be Value

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel faces a Seahawks defense that does a good job of slowing down fantasy wide receivers in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The Seahawks defense allowed the second-fewest yards to the position during the regular season. However, Samuel's rushing ability and his role in the screen game give […]

Brandon Aiyuk Has Below-Average Matchup In Wild Card Round

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has a fairly tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The Seahawks' defense limited opposing WRs to the third-fewest fantasy points of any team in the regular season. They allow the 13th-fewest passing yards per game, and much of those yards […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Great Matchup In Wild-Card Round

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has a great matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The Seahawks have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. They allow 4.9 yards per carry, the seventh-most in the NFL, and 8.6 yards per pass to running […]

Brock Purdy Has Moderately Difficult Matchup

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will try to extend his storybook season with a Wild Card Round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks' pass defense is slightly above average. It ranks No. 13 at limiting passing yards per game and No. 16 at limiting yards per attempt. The Seahawks' talented backfield includes CB […]

Jets Interested In Frank Reich To Run Offense

The New York Jets have former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich on their list as they search for a new offensive coordinator this offseason, but it's unlikely to happen. The team is also interested in some other candidates that have a background in coaching the offensive line. Reich just completed a head-coach interview on […]

Colts Interview Eric Bieniemy For Head-Coach Job

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay announced on Thursday that the team interviewed Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for their head-coaching position. It is the first known interest in Bieniemy so far this offseason after he was a popular candidate in the previous four hiring cycles. He had interviewed for 15 head-coaching positions with […]

Patriots Will Begin Search For New Offensive Coordinator

The New England Patriots announced on Thursday that they will begin interviews for a new offensive coordinator next week. Head coach Bill Belichick is returning for his 24th NFL season, but he will move away from the structure he used in 2022 in which he didn't name an official coordinator. Matt Patricia and Joe Judge […]

Patriots Working On Extension For Jerod Mayo

The New England Patriots announced on Thursday that they are working toward retaining linebackers coach Jerod Mayo. He played eight seasons for the Patriots from 2008 to 2015 and just finished his fourth season as an assistant coach with the team. Mayo has received interest from other teams for head-coaching positions, with the Carolina Panthers […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Upgraded To Full Participant

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (illness) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, which has him trending in the right direction after only logging a limited session on Wednesday. Wilson was unable to play against the Buffalo Bills back in Week 15, so Sunday will be the first time this year he's […]

Noah Fant No Longer On The Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was removed from the injury report on Thursday and will play on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. The fourth-year tight end turned in a lackluster year with just one game of more than 50 receiving yards and four touchdowns total. He did score against the 49ers in […]

Kenneth Walker III Removed From The Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is no longer appearing on the injury report on Thursday. The rookie has played a big part in the offensive success of the Seahawks this season, as he amassed 1,215 total yards from scrimmage and nine rushing touchdowns. Removing him from the injury report is huge […]

DeeJay Dallas Listed As Questionable For Saturday's Game

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle, quadriceps) was officially listed as questionable heading into wild-card weekend. The 24-year-old has served as a backup or even third-string back throughout the season. To add a limitation on top of that while rookie Kenneth Walker III is off of the injury report should be a sign to […]

Seahawks Defense Has Tough Matchup On Wild-Card Weekend

The Seattle Seahawks defense has a tough matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers on wild-card weekend. In the last matchup against San Francisco, Seattle allowed three touchdowns (21 points total) and only finished with one quarterback sack. The 49ers have been red-hot under rookie quarterback Brock Purdy, and there are much better options […]

Jason Myers Off The Fantasy Radar

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has a tough matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers on Wild Card Weekend. Myers had a very consistent season, having missed just four kicks all year. In the two meetings prior with the 49ers, the 31-year-old attempted (and made) two field goals. The 49ers currently allow the least […]

Tyler Lockett Is A Decent Start In Wild-Card Weekend

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has a tougher than usual matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers on Wild Card Weekend. Lockett had a decent outing last week and salvaged the day with a touchdown. He finished with four receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown against the Rams. The 30-year-old has averaged […]

Geno Smith Has A Tough Matchup On Wild-Card Weekend

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has a tough matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers on Wild Card Weekend. The 32-year-old is coming off a one-touchdown and two-interception performance against the Rams last weekend. The 49ers are more challenging, averaging the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Smith has thrown just one touchdown through […]

DK Metcalf Is A Risky Option On Wild-Card Weekend

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has a tough matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers on Wild Card Weekend. Metcalf had a disappointing outing last week against the Rams, finishing with just three receptions for 40 yards. Metcalf has averaged 5.5 receptions and 45 yards in his two matchups against the 49ers this […]

Leonard Fournette A Solid Wild-Card Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished the regular season with 668 rushing yards and three touchdowns while adding 73 receptions for 523 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He split much of the backfield time with teammate Rachaad White which compromised his fantasy appeal, and that is likely to continue in the playoffs. However, […]

Ryan Succop A Risky Option For Wild-Card Weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop did not have a great regular season. The Tampa Bay veteran finished the 2022 schedule with an 81.6 percent success rate on field goals, which was his lowest since 2011. He converted only two field goals over 50 yards, missing five of his seven attempts. This Monday night, the […]

Tom Brady A Solid Play For Wild-Card Weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady finished the regular season with 4,694 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown, and nine interceptions. It certainly wasn't the best statistical campaign for the 45-year-old nearing the end of his illustrious career. However, this week signals the beginning of the playoffs, and we all know what happens […]
