Jaleel McLaughlin A Low-Upside RB2 For Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has been the slight favorite in a three-man committee backfield late in the season in a Broncos backfield that also involves Javonte Williams and rookie Audric Estime. It's really anyone's guess who might get into the end zone for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buffalo Bills on the road. […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Has WR2 Upside As He Looks To Stay Hot In Playoffs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is one of the hottest wideouts in the league heading into a wild-card playoff matchup on Sunday in Orchard Park against the hosting Buffalo Bills. The Broncos made it a point to get Mims more involved in the offense late in the year, and it's really paid off, […]

Courtland Sutton In WR1 Range For Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has essentially been a WR1 in fantasy since the midway point of the season, and that shouldn't change on wild-card weekend when the team travels to Buffalo to take on the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo's defense was a middle-of-the-pack matchup for opposing wideouts over the course of the season, […]

Bo Nix Has Sleeper Potential Against Buffalo

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a pretty special rookie campaign after being taken in the first round last April, helping lead Denver to their first postseason appearance since 2015. He finished as a top-10 fantasy signal-caller thanks to 3,775 passing yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games, also adding 430 rushing […]

49ers To Conduct Open Search For Offensive Coordinator

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Klay Kubiak would be given the title of offensive coordinator for the 2025 season, but NFL rules don't permit that. As a result, the 49ers will do an open search for their offensive-coordinator position this offseason. Kubiak has essentially served as the offensive […]

Mike Edwards Questionable Vs. Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Mike Edwards (quad) is officially questionable for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup with the visiting Washington Commanders.

However, he'd upgrade his participation to a full practice on Friday […]

Ty Chandler Pops Up With DNP

Chris Jones Back At Practice

Per Matt McMullen of the team, Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones (calf) returned to practice on Friday. The 30-year-old picked up a calf injury in Kansas City's Week 16 win over the Houston Texans that would force him to miss the ensuing two contests. It's excellent news for the Chiefs, as Jones was […]

Jets Interview Mike Locksley For Head-Coach Job

The New York Jets interviewed Maryland head coach Mike Locksley for their head-coaching position on Friday, according to sources. Locksley was previously the offensive coordinator for Alabama and will get another head-coaching interview, although he should be considered a long shot for the job with the Jets leaving no stone unturned in their search. Locksley […]

Packers D/ST A Risky Play In Wild-Card Round

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit will have their hands full during their playoff matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild-Card round.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to suit up on Sunday night in the wild-card playoff meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.

Jayden Reed A Boom-Or-Bust Play Against Philadelphia

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed looks to right the ship following a backslide in regular season production as the Packers head to Philadelphia to play the Eagles in their Wild-Card game on Sunday afternoon. Reed's skills weren't utilized much after the Packers' Week 10 bye as he put up just one fantasy finish […]

Romeo Doubs A WR2 Sleeper On Wild-Card Weekend

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (illness) practiced in full all week and was removed from Friday's final injury report.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for wild-card weekend.

Tucker Kraft With Tough Assignment Against Eagles On Wild-Card Weekend

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has a tall task ahead of him when the Packers head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Wild Card Weekend.

Dontayvion Wicks To See Increased Role In Wild-Card Round

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks will step up into a starting wide receiver spot as the Packers head east to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in the Wild Card round. With Christian Watson (knee) suffering a season-ending ACL tear, Wicks is the next man up for the Packers as he will line […]

Payne Durham Is A Touchdown-Dependent Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could once again see an increased role during Sunday's Wild-Card game against the Washington Commanders. Fellow tight end Cade Otton (knee) has been sidelined over the last three games. Otton was able to get in two full practice sessions this week, but is listed as questionable ahead of […]

Jalen McMillan Has Intriguing Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (finger) remained on the injury report this week, but is ready to play after getting in three straight full practice sessions.

Mike Evans Has Elite Value For Wild-Card Round

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans did miss some practice time this week, but is ready to go for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Washington Commanders. Evans was limited to begin the week before sitting out of practice both Thursday and Friday. DFS players shouldn't be concerned as Evans only sat out for […]

Rachaad White Avoidable For Wild-Card Round

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his role in the offense heavily decrease over the last few weeks. In fact, White didn't record a single touch during the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Before that, White had seen a total of nine touches on the ground over his previous […]

Bucky Irving Has Strong Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder, shin) has been on another level down the stretch of the season. The rookie back has recorded three 100-plus rushing games over his final six games of the regular season. Irving has taken full control of the backfield in Tampa Bay heading into Sunday's Wild-Card game against […]

Commanders Defense Not A Viable Play In Wild-Card Round

The Washington Commanders defense is a high-risk play in DFS formats facing the high-octane Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last weekend, the Commanders played very well, holding Dallas to just 19 points, including just one touchdown. They tallied two sacks. The previous week, against the Atlanta Falcons, they tallied two sacks with an interception while allowing 24 […]

Zane Gonzalez Carries High Risk In Wild-Card Round

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky play in DFS formats this weekend, facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gonzalez has been tasked to replace the injured Austin Seibert (groin) and has gone 5-for-7 on attempts and perfect on extra points. Both of his missed attempts came from over 40 yards out. Over the past […]

Zach Ertz Viewed As TE1 In Wild-Card Round

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has enjoyed a fantastic season and should be viewed as a top pick at tight end during Wild Card Weekend facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Baker Mayfield Remains Favorable Option For Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield put together an excellent regular season that included 4,500 passing yards and over 40 passing touchdowns.
