According to Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, defensive back Jamel Dean (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Washington Commanders. Dean sustained this injury in the third quarter and needed assistance to get off the field. Dean carried a questionable tag into this game and could have potentially reaggravated this knee injury. Fantasy managers should expect Josh Hayes to have an increased role while Dean is sidelined.

Dynasty | Ravens running back Derrick Henry had 186 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a playoff win against Pittsburgh. Dynasty Analysis: Henry was his usual dominant self in this one, routinely churning out yard after yard against a helpless Steelers defense. After rushing for nearly 2,000 yards this season, Henry is showing no signs of slowing down. While the workload is something for dynasty managers to be concerned about, he's also giving Father Time a run for his money. Henry will be a RB1 next season and prime trade candidate for any contending team.

Dynasty | Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 20-of-29 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a playoff loss to Baltimore. Dynasty Analysis: Wilson performed about as he has all season - fine. This is the problem for the Steelers, who now have the same problem they did after last season as they boast a talented team that needs an elite-level quarterback. Wilson just isn't that any longer and neither is Justin Fields. Problem is they are both free agents and likely not the answer next season. The challenge for the Steelers is they're not bad enough to draft anyone of note because their draft pick isn't good enough. However, getting quarterbacks off the scrap heap has only made them more of the same and good instead of great just won't cut it in the NFL. Wilson himself should land a starting job somewhere next season, but he's no lock to return to Steel City. He's a roster worthy QB2 but not much more than that in dynasty leagues.

According to the team, Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) was cleared to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sinnott sustained this shoulder injury during the first half of the game. The 22-year-old did not see a target in the passing game before exiting. Fantasy managers should expect Zach Ertz and John Bates to continue to operate as the top tight ends for the remainder of the game.

According to the team, Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne (finger) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Payne sustained this injury during the second quarter. He left the game grabbing his finger in pain and was seen by the medical staff. Before exiting, Payne tallied one tackle. While sidelined, fantasy manager should expect Sheldon Day to see an uptick in snaps alongside Jonathan Allen.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was consistently relied upon during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Wild Card Weekend. Wicks was the top remaining receiver following injuries to Romeo Doubs (concussion) and Jayden Reed (shoulder) in the second half. Earning a team-high six targets on the afternoon, Wicks could only bring in two of those targets for 39 yards. He had an opportunity for a deep shot early but Jordan Love's throw ultimately was underthrown and the Eagles' Darius Slay made the interception early in the second quarter. Wicks' season was a bit of a rollercoaster with drops and inconsistent playing time, but he still led the Packers in targets (75) in 2024 to go along with 39 catches, 415 yards, and five touchdowns. For fantasy purposes, Wicks should be a late-round upside wide receiver.

According to the team, Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Sinnott sustained this injury during the first half and did not see a target before exiting. While sidelined, fantasy managers should continue to expect Zach Ertz and John Bates to see the majority of the snaps at the tight end position. In the first half, Ertz caught his lone target for nine yards,

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit were not very productive during the Packers' 22-10 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The Packers had a tall task in defending the carousel of offensive weapons the Eagles throw out on a weekly basis, but in holding A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to a combined five catches for 65 yards, they gave up two touchdowns to less-heralded Eagles players like Dallas Goedert and Jahan Dotson. The Packers did not force any turnovers and could only sack Jalen Hurts twice. The Packers have a lot of youth on their side and under the direction of defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, they're an upside D/ST unit for 2025 fantasy leagues.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Steelers are not planning to move on from Mike Tomlin. Tomlin signed a three-year contract extension before the start of the 2024 season, which will keep him under contract through 2027. Despite losing their sixth consecutive playoff game, the front office still believes they can improve their roster through other motives and not with a new voice in the locker room. This season, the Steelers finished with a 10-7 record, which was the second-best in the AFC North. Their offense averaged the tenth-fewest total yards per game (319.7) and allowed the 12th-fewest total yards per game (326.7). Tomlin has led the Steelers to 16 straight, non-losing seasons while being the head coach. While the Steelers will not look for a new head coach, they will need to make a decision on the future of their QB room as both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are set to enter free agency following the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has a solid outing during the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Kraft caught all five of his targets from quarterback Jordan Love and parlayed them in 26 yards receiving. Also displaying some of the versatility from the end of the regular season, Kraft also took two direct snaps for 10 yards rushing. After a rookie season that saw Kraft get some time on the field later in the season with an injury to Luke Musgrave, an early-season injury to Musgrave before Week 1 this season led to Kraft being a major contributor in the Packers offense in his second campaign. Kraft put up 50 receptions for 707 yards and seven touchdowns to finish as a top-10 fantasy tight end. For 2025 fantasy leagues, Kraft should be a starting tight end option in a majority of fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder) suffered an injury that caused him to leave the game during the tail end of the third quarter and not return for the rest of the Packers' 22-10 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Reed took a hard hit after hauling in a 13-yard reception and was ruled questionable to return but ended up not playing another snap for the Packers in their loss. Before exiting the game, Reed caught all four targets for 46 yards which ended up leading the Packers in receiving yards on the afternoon. Reed's production hit a massive snag during the second half of the regular season, and it looked like the Packers were involving him more in the passing game before his untimely exit. Leading the Packers in receiving yards with 857, Reed also hauled in a team-leading 55 receptions in 2024. Reed should be a solid fantasy receiver with upside for 2025 fantasy leagues.

According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is non-committal on the state of the Steelers quarterback room. DeFabo noted that when asked about the state of the position following their playoff loss, Tomlin declined to discuss the team's future. With both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to hit free agency, the Steelers will have several options on how to pencil in their QB1 entering the 2025 campaign. Wilson was battling a calf injury early in the season, allowing Field to start the first six games. Across these games, Fields performed well, averaging a strong 21.4 PPR points per game. Wilson then operated as the QB1 for the remainder of the season and led them to the playoffs. However, their playoff bid was cut short after losing 28-14 to their division rival Baltimore Ravens on Saturday evening. In this game, Wilson went 20-for-29 with 270 yards and two scores. Fantasy managers should continue closely monitoring this situation throughout the offseason as both Wilson and Fields flashed upside while starting under center.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs maintained his stellar production into the postseason despite the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during the Wild-Card round. Jacobs was the main cog in the Packers' offensive attack as he carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards, including a fourth-quarter touchdown that gave the Packers their only touchdown of the afternoon. He also caught all three of his targets for 40 yards as a safety valve for quarterback Jordan Love. In his first season as a Packer, Jacobs was a massive success with over 1,300 rushing yards and 16 total touchdowns on the season. Jacobs will be a highly-drafted running back in 2025 fantasy leagues in this Packers' system that feeds him the ball.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) left the game and did not return during the third quarter of the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Doubs hit his head on the ground when trying to make a catch in the end zone on a deep shot from quarterback Jordan Love. Doubs was ruled questionable to return, but he never re-entered Sunday's contest. Prior to his departure, Doubs caught both of his targets for 13 yards on the afternoon. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, Doubs tallied 46 receptions, 601 receiving yards, and four touchdowns this season. He should remain an integral part of the Packers' passing game in 2025.

According to Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears have completed their interview with Ron Rivera for the head coach opening. The Bears interviewed several names for the opening job, including Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, and Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. The Bears fired former head coach Matt Eberflus following their 4-8 start. Thomas Brown served as the interim coach for the remainder of the season. The Bears had a disappointing season as they finished with a 5-12 record and averaged just 284.6 total yards per game, which was the lowest in the sport. On defense, they allowed the sixth-most total yards per game. In addition, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked 68 times, the most in the NFL. Ron Rivera's last head coaching gig was with Washington, leading them to an overall 26-40-1 record and a 2020 NFC East Title.

According to the team, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) and defensive back Jamel Dean (knee) are both active for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Both defensive backs were able to log full practice sessions on Friday, which put them in a good position to suit up. Winfield has missed the previous four games while Dean just missed Week 18. Winfield has tallied 60 tackles and two sacks across nine games, while Dean has tallied 59 tackles, seven deflections, and an interception across 12 games. Both will be deployed as key starters in this contest.

According to the team, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Logan Hall (groin) is active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Washington Commanders. The defensive end was listed as questionable for Sunday's game and was in danger of missing his first game since Week 1. Across 16 contests, the 24-year-old has tallied 28 tackles (17 solo) with 5.5 sacks. Hall will see his typical workload as a starter on the Tampa defensive line.

According to Lauren Helmbrecht, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) are both questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Both sustained these injuries during the second half. Doubs suffered a concussion earlier this season and had to miss two games. With Christian Watson (knee) already out for the season, this leaves Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, and Tucker Kraft as Jordan Love's lone pass catchers. Reed was leading the team in receiving yards (46) before leaving, while Doubs had tallied 23.

According to the team, Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran wideout was a limited participant during practice this week and carried a questionable tag into the weekend. However, Crowder turned the corner and will suit up on Sunday night. Over his past four games, Crowder has been deployed as a depth receiver, seeing just three targets per game. However, in Week 16, he caught two touchdowns. He should be viewed as a high-risk, value play in DFS this evening, as he may only see a handful of targets in this contest.
