| 1/16/2025 5:38:00 PM | Al-Shaair (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Chiefs. |
| Al-Shaair had a DNP/LP/LP practice log this week due to a knee injury he picked up during the Texans' wild-card win against the Chargers. Given the stakes of Saturday's game, Al-Shaair likely leans more towards the probable side of playing, though his official status will be known approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff when Houston announces its list of inactive players. | |
| 1/14/2025 2:19:00 PM | Robinson secured one of two targets for 23 yards during Monday's 27-9 wild-card victory against the Vikings. |
| Robinson was on the field for 38 of the Rams' 53 snaps on offense, eclipsed only by Puka Nacua, but he didn't garner much attention from Matthew Stafford on a slow day overall for the Rams' passing game. Robinson's lone catch came in the first quarter, and he saw only one more target the rest of the way, which falls in line with his volume in the latter half of the regular season. The Eagles, who kept Jordan Love and the Packers contained in their own 22-10 wild-card win, are up next for Robinson and the Rams in the divisional round. | |
| 1/14/2025 12:07:00 AM | Stafford completed 19 of 27 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two carries for minus-1 yard in the Rams' 27-9 wild-card win over the Vikings on Monday night. |
| Stafford got off to a blazing start during the convincing win, recording completions of 27 and 23 yards to Puka Nacua and Tyler Higbee, respectively, on his first pair of throws. The veteran signal-caller connected on all six pass attempts during the crisp opening possession, which he capped off with a five-yard scoring toss to Kyren Williams. Stafford subsequently connected with Davis Allen for a 13-yard scoring strike just before halftime as well, and although the offense slowed down considerably in the second half, the quarterback already laid the groundwork for an impressive victory. Stafford and the Rams now will ready themselves for the challenge presented by a road divisional-round clash versus the Eagles on Sunday afternoon. | |
| 1/13/2025 4:04:00 PM | Reed said Monday that he won't need surgery on his dislocated shoulder, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. |
| He missed the end of Sunday's playoff loss to the Eagles but should be ready for OTAs in the spring. It was a disappointing end to a disappointing season in which 72.3 percent of Reed's receiving yards came in the first nine games. He appeared well on his way to a 1,000-yard campaign for much of the season, before averaging 29.6 receiving yards and 3.6 targets after a Week 10 bye, ultimately finishing with a 55-857-6 receiving line and 20-163-1 on the ground. Reed offers an unusual combination of rushing contributions and big receiving plays from the slot, but it's hard to say if/when he'll progress beyond boom/bust-WR3 status for fantasy. | |
| 1/13/2025 2:26:00 PM | Ekeler took eight carries for 27 yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win at Tampa Bay. |
| Ekeler's 11 touches and 47 percent snap share put him slightly behind Brian Robinson, who had 10 carries for 16 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 22 yards while playing 53 percent of snaps. Neither RB found much room against a tough Tampa Bay run defense, and they'll now face another one of the NFC's top run-stuffing teams -- at least on paper -- when they head to Detroit in the divisional round. The Lions probably aren't as difficult to run on as many statistics suggest, as they've lost a slew of defenders to season-ending injuries, including DE Aidan Hutchinson (leg) and DT Alim McNeill (knee). | |
| 1/12/2025 9:02:00 PM | Jacobs rushed the ball 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added three receptions on three targets for 40 yards. |
| Jacobs was the driving force behind Green Bay's comeback attempt in the second half, with the highlight being an impressive 32-yard touchdown run at the close of the third quarter. He also chipped in long receptions of 15 and 14 yards to close his campaign on a strong note. After posting a career-best 16 touchdowns while tallying 1,671 yards from scrimmage during the regular season, Jacobs will almost certainly be back to lead the backfield for the Packers in 2025. | |
| 1/12/2025 5:57:00 PM | Fairbairn converted three of three field-goal attempts and all three extra-point kicks in Saturday's 32-12 wild-card round win over the Chargers. |
| Fairbairn had a shaky finish to the regular season, which was partly due to an underperforming offense, but he was back on form in the opening playoff round. Ironically, Houston's defense, which scored a touchdown and forced four turnovers, contributed more to Fairbairn's successful day than the offense. This was the 10th time in 18 games that Fairbairn registered double-digit scoring. | |
| 1/12/2025 5:53:00 PM | Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills. |
| The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table. | |
| 1/11/2025 8:26:00 PM | Stroud completed 22 of 33 passes for 282 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. He added six rushes for 42 yards. |
| Stroud took some time to get the offense moving, as a lost fumble by John Metchie and an interception ended a few of Houston's drives early on. However, Stroud hit his stride on a possession late in the second quarter, connecting on long passes of 34 and 37 yards before delivering a 13-yard touchdown to Nico Collins. That was his only score of the game, but Stroud put together an efficient performance the rest of the way to earn the second postseason victory of his career. | |
| 1/10/2025 3:32:00 PM | Walker made a career-high 61 tackles (31 solo), including 10.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024. He also had one defensive touchdown, one pass defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. |
| Walker modestly improved upon his production totals from 2023, and he's now put together back-to-back seasons with double-digit sacks. The 2022 first-round pick is now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Jacksonville, but the team can still decide to pick up his fifth-year option. | |
| 1/9/2025 3:07:00 PM | Sherwood finished the 2024 season with 2.0 sacks among his 158 tackles (98 solo), as well as three passes defensed. |
| After playing primarily as a backup for three years, Sherwood stepped up in his fourth NFL campaign as fellow middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) was limited to only four appearances. Sherwood led the NFL in solo tackles, enjoying a well-timed breakout as the 2021 fifth-round draft pick gets ready to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Given Mosley's advanced age and injury troubles, the Jets will likely be interested in re-signing Sherwood. | |
| 1/8/2025 5:18:00 PM | Clowney recorded 46 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and four passes defended over 14 games in 2024. |
| The 2014 first-round pick from South Carolina signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after tying his career high in sacks (9.5) in 2023 with the Ravens. Clowney was brought in to help bolster a struggling Panthers pass rush that ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks (27.0) in 2023, but his first season in Carolina did not go as planned. The 31-year-old posted his lowest sack total of any season in which he appeared in 14 or more games, while the Panthers' defense once again ranked among the NFL's bottom-four teams in sacks (32.0). Clowney is expected to benefit from the return of fellow edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, who missed nine games in 2024, potentially making his job a bit easier heading into the 2025 season. | |
| 1/7/2025 9:07:00 PM | Kendricks finished the 2024 regular season with 138 tackles (71 solo), including 3.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including two interceptions), three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 15 games. |
| After being released by the Chargers on March 5, Kendricks opted to sign a one-year, $3 million contract with the Cowboys on March 13. His 138 combined tackles were his most since 2021 with the Vikings (143), and he led the Cowboys in that category while finishing tied with Ernest Jones for 13th most in the NFL. Kendricks played every single defensive snap in 10 of 15 games and tallied double-digit tackles in six contests. The 2015 second-round pick will enter the 2025 offseason as a free agent and should get interest from teams looking for veteran help in its linebacker corps. Dallas could be interested in a reunion with Kendricks, as second-year linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is expected to miss most of the 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee that he suffered in Week 14 against the Bengals. | |
| 1/7/2025 9:33:00 AM | Mills completed 12 of 22 passes for 128 yards and rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18. |
| After starting quarterback C.J. Stroud engineered the opening possession, which resulted in a touchdown, the reins were handed to Mills for the rest of the game. He made appearances in three blowouts during the season before guiding the Texans through most of the regular-season finale. Mills completed 20 of 36 passes for 212 yards over his four games played in 2024. Stroud wasn't as consistent in 2024 as during his rookie 2023 season, but it never go to the point where a quarterback change became necessary. The Texans are happy to keep Mills, who has two years of experience under the current coaching regime, as the backup heading into next season. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:38:00 PM | Wilson caught four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the 2024 season with 101 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 154 targets. |
| Wilson didn't account for any of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes, but the third of their four connections accounted for Wilson's 100th catch of the season. In addition to setting a new career high in receptions, Wilson exceeded his previous career high by one receiving yard. Wilson's seven receiving scores matched his combined total from 2022 and 2023, so Wilson made incremental improvements despite the Jets' inconsistency on offense. The 2022 first-round draft pick remains under contract with the Jets for 2025. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:30:00 PM | Mattison rushed the ball six times for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers. He added four receptions on five targets for 11 yards. |
| Mattison served as the clear lead back for Las Vegas with Ameer Abdullah (foot) sidelined, though he had only one rushing attempt after halftime despite the Raiders being down one score until late in the contest. The story of this game also encapsulated Mattison's campaign, as he averaged a miserable 3.2 yards per carry in one of the least explosive offenses in the league. He'll hit free agency this offseason and will likely sign a short-term deal with the hopes of serving as a change-of-pace back. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:36:00 PM | Garoppolo completed 27 of 41 pass attempts for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for five yards in Sunday's 30-25 loss to Seattle. |
| Head coach Sean McVay opted to rest several key starters with the NFC West title locked up, opening the door for Garoppolo to make his 2024 debut with the Rams. The veteran quarterback performed admirably given the circumstances, almost leading a second-unit offense to victory while posting solid fantasy numbers. The 31-year-old did well in this spot-start to possibly earn some looks from potential QB-thin rosters this upcoming offseason as his one-year deal with Los Angeles nears a close. Matthew Stafford is in line to re-take the reins of McVay's offense in the first round of the playoffs in a home tilt against either Minnesota or Detroit next weekend. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:00:00 PM | Allen brought in all three targets for 25 yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. He also threw incomplete on one pass attempt. |
| The veteran wideout nearly threw an interception on a trick play and finished a distant second in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon. Allen followed up a highly productive (15-223-2) two-game stretch in Week 15-16 with a modest eight receptions for 50 yards over the last pair of contests of his first Bears season, but he figures to once again serve as a critical target for Caleb Williams under a new offensive system in 2025. | |
| 1/5/2025 5:21:00 PM | Robinson rushed 28 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of five targets for three yards in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday. |
| Robinson saved his best for last in terms of the 2024 season, recording a new career high in rushing yards while also scoring a pair of rushing touchdowns for the third consecutive game on runs of three and four yards. Robinson continuously ripped off chunk gains against the Panthers' league-worst run defense, and he'll finish the 2024 campaign with five 100-yard efforts -- all which came from Week 7 on -- and at least 90 rushing yards in six straight contests. | |
| 1/5/2025 12:51:00 PM | York made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday. |
| York missed three kicks over his last three games heading into the Bengals' regular-season finale, but the third-year kicker was flawless in a must-win game. The team's offense went 1-for-4 on red zone drives, which put York in a position to convert on easier kicks, with three of his four field-goal attempts coming from within 40 yards. He served as Cincinnati's placekicker for the final five games of the regular season due to Evan McPherson (groin) going on IR. Over that span, York went 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether York or McPherson would handle kicking duties in the wild-card round if the Bengals make the playoffs with a Broncos' loss and a Dolphins' loss or tie. | |
| 1/4/2025 10:25:00 PM | Higgins is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Steelers due to an ankle injury. |
| Higgins came into Week 18 with an ankle injury but was deemed active after being listed as questionable to play. Prior to leaving at the end of the third quarter, Higgins caught four of five targets for 53 scoreless yards. If Higgins is unable to return, the offense should funnel even more through Ja'Marr Chase, while Andrei Iosivas, Isaiah Williams and Kendric Pryor round out the remainder of Cincinnati's wide receiver depth chart. | |
| 12/31/2024 4:31:00 PM | Arizona placed Benson (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. |
| Benson will end up missing the final three games of his rookie season due to the ankle injury he sustained in a Dec. 15 win over the Patriots. Before getting hurt, the third-round pick out of Florida State had solidified his spot as the top backup to James Conner. Over 13 appearances, Benson gained 291 yards and a touchdown on 63 carries (4.6 average) while reeling in all six of his targets for 59 yards. | |
| 12/30/2024 5:03:00 PM | Bates recorded 12 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders. |
| Bates led Atlanta's defense in total tackles while tying his season high in stops in a single game during Sunday's overtime loss. The Wake Forest product has seen a decrease in production from his first to his second year in Atlanta, having now recorded 97 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four passes defended and four forced fumbles while appearing in all 16 of the Falcons' regular-season games thus far. Expect Bates to continue starting alongside Justin Simmons as part of the Falcons' top safety duo in the Week 18 matchup against the Panthers. | |
| 12/27/2024 4:38:00 PM | Queen recorded seven total tackles (five solo) in Wednesday's 29-10 loss to the Chiefs. |
| Despite Queen recording his lowest tackle total since the Steelers' Week 12 loss to the Browns, he still tied Minkah Fitzpatrick as the team's leading tackler Wednesday. Queen, a first-year Steeler, has now recorded a team-leading 124 total tackles, six passes defended and one forced fumble over 16 appearances this season. He'll aim to continue disrupting opposing offenses in Week 18, when the Steelers host the Bengals. | |
| 12/24/2024 3:26:00 PM | Chubb (knee) will not be activated off the Dolphins' reserve/PUP list and will not return for the 2024 season, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| Chubb started the season on the reseve/PUP list while recovering from surgery for a torn ACL, meniscus and patellar tendon injury that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 season. His 21-day practice window opened Dec. 2, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery over that time to be activated off the Dolphins' PUP list. Chubb will now focus on being fully healthy for the start of the 2025 campaign. | |
| 12/4/2024 3:34:00 PM | The Bengals placed McPherson on injured reserve Wednesday with a right groin injury. |
| McPherson will thus miss at least four games, meaning that the soonest he'll be eligible to return from IR is Week 18 against the Steelers. Heading into Monday's game against the Cowboys, the Bengals sit on a 4-8 record for the season. If the team is eliminated from playoff contention by the time Week 18 rolls around, the Bengals may just decide to keep McPherson on IR for the duration of the season. The Bengals signed Cade York to their practice squad Wednesday and are likely to elevate him ahead of Monday's game to replace McPherson, who converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts and 37 of 38 extra-point tries through Cincinnati's first 12 games. | |
