Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of his six targets for 87 yards and a score during their upset victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. McLaurin's best play of the evening came on a screen pass, which he took for a 58-yard score. Later in the fourth quarter, McLaurin would catch a crucial fourth down reception to keep a Washington drive alive. The 29-year-old has now found the back of the end zone in each of his previous three games. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory, McLaurin caught seven of his ten targets for 89 yards and a score. The former Ohio State Buckeye carries elite WR1 upside throughout the remainder of the postseason.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 23 of his 40 pass attempts for 313 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions during Saturday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He also rushed for seven yards, took two sacks, and lost a fumble. It was an eventful day for Goff, whose first and only playoff game of the year ultimately resulted in an upset loss. He delivered four turnovers in the defeat, and he also missed a drive while being evaluated for concussion. Immediately upon being cleared to play, Goff didn't quite look like himself. Even when he started to find his groove again, he wasn't able to lead the Lions over the Commanders. He finished as the overall QB6 in fantasy football during the regular season, but his lone playoff appearance was one to forget. The veteran signal-caller could face some adversity this offseason if the Lions lose offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and have to implement a new offensive scheme. Still, he should rank as a low-end QB1 in 2025, largely thanks to his bevy of weapons.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) caught all five of his targets for 28 yards and a score during their victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Ertz left the game briefly in the first half while being evaluated for a concussion. However, shortly after returning, Ertz would find the back of the end zone on a five-yard strike from Jayden Daniels. This was a nice bounce back showing for the veteran tight end as he caught just two passes for 23 yards during their wild-card victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the final seven weeks of the regular season, Ertz tallied an impressive six touchdowns. Despite his low-yardage outputs, the 34-year-old remains a solid TE1, given his usage in the red zone.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols punched in a goal line score during their upset victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. McNichols ran the ball only four times but was able to seal the victory with a late one-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with just eight yards on the ground and was not targeted in the passing attack. While McNichols had a similar role to what he did during the wild-card game, it is promising to see him occasionally receive opportunities in scoring positions. Given his depth role in the Washington offense, he remains a high-risk play in DFS formats during the Championship round.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught six of his eight targets for 98 yards during their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Brown's targets, receptions, and yards all led the team. Brown's longest reception of the day went for 42 yards. The 25-year-old has now seen at least four targets in each of his previous three games and tallied at least 89 in each of his past two. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory, Brown tied Terry McLaurin for the most receiving yards on the team (89) and found the back of the end zone. During the regular season, Brown averaged a mere 19.3 yards per game. Given his current role in the Washington offense, Brown carries WR2 upside heading into the NFC Championship Game.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. found the back of the end zone twice during their upset victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Robinson punched in two scores at the goal line, one in the second quarter and the other in the fourth. Robinson finished the evening with 77 yards on 15 attempts. His 15 attempts were the second-most on the team, only behind Jayden Daniels. He was not targeted in the passing game. After averaging an underwhelming 35.0 rushing yards per game over his previous five games, the Alabama product found his footing at the perfect time. During the first ten games of his season, he averaged a strong 64.0 rushing yards per game. Robinson carries RB2 upside heading into the NFC Championship.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler tallied 47 yards on six attempts during their victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Ekeler added 41 yards on four receptions in the receiving game. Ekeler flashed his breakaway speed all evening as his longest run went for 35 yards, and his reception went for 24 yards. Even though Ekeler was not as involved in the rushing attack, given the high-scoring affair, Ekeler was able to make a significant impact in the receiving game. Ekeler also saw four targets during their wild-card victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suggesting he has a prominent role in the team's passing attack. Ekeler carries RB2 upside heading into the NFC Championship match.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 22-for-31 with 299 passing yards and two scores in their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions. Daniels added 51 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Daniels found his top wideout, Terry McLaurin, on a 58-yard TD strike in the second quarter. He would then find his tight end, Zach Ertz, on a five-yard TD pass later in the quarter. The rookie targeted his No.2 wideout Dyami Brown the most often but spread the ball around as four pass-catchers caught at least four passes. The former No.2 overall pick continues to produce at an elite level, no matter the size of the stage. He remains a high-end QB1 heading into the NFC Championship Game, where he will face either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams.

According to the team, Detroit Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's playoff game against the Washington Commanders. Melifonwu sustained this injury during the third quarter of the game. Before exiting, he tallied two tackles. Morice Norris should see an uptick in snaps as a result.
From RotoBaller
According to Ben Standig of The Athletic, Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (groin) has returned to Saturday's playoff game against the Detroit Lions. Zaccheaus exited the contest during the second quarter. Before leaving, he was targeted two times but was unable to catch any of them. He should continue to operate as the No.3 wide receiver in the Washington passing attack.
From RotoBaller
According to the team, Washington Commanders offensive guard Sam Cosmi (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday's playoff game against the Detroit Lions. Cosmi sustained this injury on Brian Robinson Jr.'s touchdown run in the second quarter. Cosmi needed assistance leaving the field. While sidelined, Trent Scott and Cornelius Lucas should see increased snaps.Update: Sam Cosmi has been ruled out for the remainder of the game

According to Ben Standig of The Athletic, Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) returned to Saturday's game against the Detroit Lions. Ertz left earlier in the first half and was being evaluated for a concussion. However, the veteran tight end was able to pass protocol. Before exiting, Ertz caught both of his targets for 13 yards. He will continue to see a starting role in the offense for the remainder of the game.

Goff sustained this injury after throwing an interception in the second quarter. Goff was sidelined for one offensive drive. Teddy Bridgewater took over starting duties. Through the first half, Goff has thrown for over 100 yards with 11 completions, a touchdown, and an interception.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (concussion) is being evaluated for a concussion. Goff took a hard hit after throwing an interception in the second quarter. Veteran Teddy Bridgewater has taken over starting duties for the time being. Before exiting, Goff went 8-for-11 with 120 yards, a score and an interception. Bridgewater will continue to stat while Goff is sidelined.

The veteran tight end sustained a hard hit in the second quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion. Before exiting, Ertz caught both of his targets for 13 yards. While sidelined, John Bates should have a starting role in the offense.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Detroit Lions defensive back Amik Robertson (elbow) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's playoff game. Robertson sustained this injury on the opening defensive drive when tackling Terry McLaurin. Fantasy managers should expect Kindle Vildor to continue to have a key role in the secondary for the remainder of the game

According to Eric Woodyard of ESPN, Detroit Lions defensive back Amik Robertson (elbow) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Washington Commanders. Robertson sustained this injury on their first defensive drive of the game. He was attempting to make a tackle and needed assistance leaving the field. While sidelined, Kindle Vildor should see an increase in snaps.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz finished second on the team in receiving by catching all four of his targets for 63 yards in a Divisional Round defeat to Kansas City on Saturday. All told, it was the veteran tight end's second-best receiving day of the season, trailing only a 66-yard day against Detroit in November. About half Schultz's damage came on one play, a 34-yard juggling act along the sideline that was upheld after review. Though his receiving role initially took a hit, he ended up second on the team in targets and catches following injuries to receivers Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). Houston, which sees its season end in the Divisional Round for a second straight year, will likely be in the market for another pass catcher during the offseason.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins finished his team's Divisional Round playoff defeat at Kansas City with five catches on eight targets for 81 yards, a decent day considering Houston's considerable challenges in the passing game. The Texans surrendered eight sacks and only completed 19 passes as quarterback C.J. Stroud spent most of the afternoon under siege. The 25-year-old receiver further cemented his status as a No. 1 option in 2024, but by the end of the season, didn't have much support with compatriots Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the year. He figures to be part of the long-term plan for Houston, which ends the season in the Divisional Round for the second straight year.
