Chiefs Defense A Solid Option For Divisional Round

Jacksonville is led by second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who led […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) was removed from Friday's final injury report and will play in the Divisional Round against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has sounded poised to make outfielder Enrique Hernandez the starting shortstop to begin the 2023 season with Trevor Story (elbow) injured.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Fantasy Option Against Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a disappointing first season with the team, catching 42 passes for 687 yards and two touchdowns.

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Risky Fantasy Option For Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has had an up-and-down season, but it ended on a low note, as he averaged 2.3 receptions for 27.7 yards and no touchdowns over the final three games of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell will face the New York Giants this Saturday in the NFC Divisional round of the playoffs. The 23-year-old did not make much of an impact during the regular season, but his usage increased over the final four weeks. Starting running back Miles Sanders had a rough four-game stretch to […]
