Melvin Gordon Expected To Play Against Patriots

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is dealing with a minor left knee sprain that he suffered in the wild-card win against the Ravens last weekend, but it's not enough to put his status in doubt for the divisional round against the Patriots. Gordon returned to the game with a knee brace, but […]

Chargers Activate Hunter Henry From PUP

The Los Angeles Chargers activated tight end Hunter Henry (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, and he's eligible to play in the divisional round against the Patriots on Sunday.

Mike Wallace Remains Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) remains day-to-day. Wallace was activated off Injured Reserve after breaking his leg early in the season. He was limited in practices last week but was inactive in the wild-card win over the Bears. Even if Wallace is active in the divisional round against […]

Demaryius Thomas Not Considering Retirement

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) said he wants to continue playing after suffering a torn Achilles late in the season with Houston. The 31-year-old five-time Pro Bowler will need around six months of rehab, and he's scheduled to make a non-guaranteed $14 million base salary in 2019. "My main priority right now is […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley (ankle), who injured himself in the wild-card win over the Seahawks on Saturday, will be evaluated throughout the week.

Alshon Jeffery Catches Six Passes in the Wild Card Round

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught six passes on Sunday, gaining 82 yards. He was targeted nine times and led the Eagles in catches, yards, and targets. He's been even better since Nick Foles took over at quarterback, and the Eagles will almost certainly have to throw the ball a ton next week in […]

Josh Adams Disappears in the Wild Card Round

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams got one carry on Sunday, gaining two yards. He did not see a target in the passing game. Adams was running as the lead back for the Eagles for a while in the second half of this season, but he's slowly been sliding down the depth chart, hitting rock […]

Nick Foles Keeps the Magic Going in the Wild Card Round

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles kept the magic going in the Wild Card Round on Sunday. He led his team to a 16-15 win by completing 25 of his 40 passes for 266 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Foles struggled in the first half, but came back in the second half looking much stronger, […]

Steelers Likely To Trade Antonio Brown

There is now a high probability that the Pittsburgh Steelers trade wide receiver Antonio Brown before the new league year starts in March. He's due a $2.5 million roster bonus after the new league year starts, so the Steelers would like to move him before that. Brown would have a salary cap hit of more […]

Trey Burton Inactive Against Eagles

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) is officially inactive for the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday. Burton was added to the injury report on Saturday and will not play on wild-card weekend. Adam Shaheen should step in as the pass-catching tight end with Burton out, but he's a weak DFS play against […]

Marlon Mack Shines In Wild Card Win

The Indianapolis Colts cruised to a 21-7 win over the Houston Texans, and running back Marlon Mack was a major piece of that. Mack finished with 24 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown. He also had two catches for six yards. The Texans got behind early which allowed the Colts to lean on Mack's […]

Darren Sproles Considering Return In 2019

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has mentioned to teammates that he is seriously considering a return for another season in 2019. The 35-year-old was expected to retire after the 2018 season, but Sproles has missed most of the season with a hamstring injury that he suffered in the season opener. Sproles has 29 carries […]

Hunter Henry Expected To Be Activated Monday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is likely to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before the final deadline on Monday if the Chargers advance to the divisional round.

Nick Foles Expected To Have Robust Trade Market

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is expected to have a quality and robust trade market in the offseason, according to sources.

Allen Hurns Dislocates Ankle Saturday, Undergoes Surgery

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle) suffered a gruesome dislocated ankle in the wild-card victory over the Seahawks on Saturday and underwent surgery on Saturday, according to a source.

Trey Burton Questionable Against Eagles

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is now questionable for the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday. It's a bad omen for Burton's chances of playing in the first playoff game. If he sits, it'll mean more looks for receivers Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller […]

Austin Ekeler Active Against Ravens

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (groin) is active for the wild-card game against the Ravens on Sunday. While Ekeler will be the change-of-pace back to Melvin Gordon in this tough matchup, Ekeler could become an extension of the passing game with short dump-off targets from quarterback Philip Rivers. Ekeler has some low-end sleeper […]

Michael Gallup Scores a Touchdown in His First Playoff Game

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup scored a touchdown in his first playoff game on Saturday. He ended up with two catches for 18 yards total. He was targeted six times and could have had a bigger game, but his on-field performance was better than the box score showed. He'll be a risky DFS […]

Amari Cooper Goes Over 100 Yards in the Wild Card Round

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 106 yards in Saturday's Wild Card win. Cooper was targeted nine times and was clearly quarterback Dak Prescott's preferred target. Despite Cooper's relative struggles away from Dallas, he will have to remain a huge part of the offense if the Cowboys expect to keep up […]

Ezekiel Elliott Runs for Over 100 Yards in the Wild Card Round

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 26 times for 137 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 32 more yards. Elliott easily found room to run against the Seattle defense, and will certainly need to star in next week's game against either the Rams or the Saints if the Cowboys hope […]

T.Y. Hilton Proves Vital to Colts Trouncing the Texans

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton caught five of his ten targets for 85 yards in a 21-7 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card Round on Saturday. In a game that quickly turned away from the pass once the Colts accumulated a 21-0 lead by half time, Hilton led the team […]

Andrew Luck Posts Mediocre Line in Playoff Victory

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 19 of his 32 pass attempts for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in a 21-7 win over the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card Round on Saturday.

Chargers Won't Activate Hunter Henry For Wild-Card Round

The Los Angeles Chargers won't activate tight end Hunter Henry (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday, so he won't play in the wild-card game against the Ravens on Sunday. Henry could play in the divisional round if the Bolts advance, but even then he'd likely be on a snap count after […]

Steelers Expected To Restructure Ben Roethlisberger's Contract

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to restructure quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's contract before the new league year begins on March 13, according to league sources. It would give the team more salary cap room if they decide to trade wide receiver Antonio Brown. The 36-year-old was one of the best fantasy QBs in 2018, throwing for […]

Keke Coutee Expected To Be Active Against Colts

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring), who is questionable for the wild-card game against the Colts on Saturday, is expected to be active, according to a source.

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and Dontrelle Inman (finger, shoulder) are both expected to play in the wild-card game against the Texans on Saturday.
