Tyler Higbee

LAR Tight End #89

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rams coach Sean McVay said he expects Tyler Higbee (chest) to play against the Eagles in the Divisional Round on Sunday.

Higbee was hospitalized after leaving the game with a chest injury because he was “spitting up a little bit of blood.” That’s our sport, folks. It’s great news for the Rams that he appears to be good to go for Sunday because he looked excellent before leaving, catching 5-of-5 targets for 58 yards and helping stake them to an early lead. He may have taken over the No. 2 role from what looks to be a declining Cooper Kupp. Higbee will be a worthwhile DFS play this weekend.
Diontae Johnson

FA Wide Receiver #82

Texans waived Diontae Johnson.

Johnson will go down in Texans 3:30 PM CT Wild Card Saturday history as “one player who caught a pass once.” The receiver has been waived three times this year and mercifully, we don’t think there’s another team left that will claim him this year. He finishes the season with a 33/375/3 receiving line in 12 games and will hit the high-risk one-year bin in free agency. NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that he was visibly upset after the game over his role in the offense — an offense he just arrived to three weeks ago. Entering his age-29 season, we may have seen the end of Johnson as a fantasy football asset. Certainly NFL teams are telling us that very loudly by their actions this season.
Russell Wilson

PIT Quarterback #3

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t commit to bringing back Russell Wilson or Justin Fields in 2025.

“We are certainly open to considering those guys, but we have a lot of work ahead of us,” Tomlin told reporters Tuesday. It’s hardly a surprise given the shortcomings of both Fields and Wilson as Pittsburgh’s starter in 2024. Wilson, who appeared this fall to be on his way to establishing himself as the Steelers’ medium-term starter, collapsed down the stretch and would seem unlikely to return to the team for next season. Fields, meanwhile, could stick around if he doesn’t get interest from elsewhere. Fields in 2024 was 21st in quarterback success rate among 42 qualifying QBs while Wilson ranked 33rd.
John Spytek

TB Front Office

Raiders conducted a second interview with Bucs assistant general manager John Spytek for the team’s general manager vacancy.

Among the most sought after front office hires in this cycle, Spytek is also talking to the Titans about their GM opening. A second interview means the Raiders are likely to offer the job to Spytek, Tampa’s assistant GM for the past two seasons who was integral in creating the Bucs roster that won the Super Bowl following the 2020 season. Tom Brady, minority owner of the Raiders, was of course part of that team.
Cooper Kupp

LAR Wide Receiver #10

Cooper Kupp caught his only target for 29 yards in the Rams’ Wildcard win over the Vikings.

Kupp was notably held without a target in the first half as the team relied heavily on tight end Tyler Higbee and Puka Nacua through the air. HIgbee departed after the second possession with a chest injury and was promptly deemed doubtful to return before ultimately being ruled out, something that could influence the team’s target pecking order in a Divisional Round matchup against the Eagles next weekend, even though that appeared to be influenced by the matchup against the blitz-heavy Vikings.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua caught 5-of-9 targets for 44 yards in the Rams’ Wildcard win over the Vikings, adding seven yards on his lone carry.

For all intents and purposes, Nacua and Stafford were not really on the same page in the blowout win, but a dominant performance by their defense, which included nine sacks and a strip sack fumble recovery for a touchdown in the second quarter led to only 51 offensive plays run from scrimmage. Nacua appeared to bang knees with a defender in the third quarter and he was seen limping to the sideline, but he would return on the same possession and finish the game for the Rams. The win sends the Rams to a road Divisional Round clash with the Eagles next weekend.
Kyren Williams

LAR Running Back #23

Kyren Williams rushed 16 times for 76 yards in the Rams’ Wildcard win over the Vikings, adding 16 yards and a touchdown on three receptions.

Williams got the scoring started for the Rams on the opening possession of the game, catching a five-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford on a leak play to the middle of the end zone. The Rams ran only 51 offensive plays as their defense clamped down on the Vikings, resulting in only 19 opportunities for the running back that led the league in percentage of team touches in the regular season at 43%. Williams and the rest of the Los Angeles skill position players could be called on at greater frequency in the Divisional Round against the Eagles.
Matthew Stafford

LAR Quarterback #9

Matthew Stafford completed 19-of-27 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ 27-9, Wildcard win over the Vikings.

Stafford and the Rams controlled the flow of the game throughout after scoring on their opening possession. A second quarter fumble recovery for a touchdown from their defense padded their lead early, eventually leading to a 24-3 lead heading into the half. That allowed the Rams to use more caution on offense after the break, something that contributed to Stafford’s lowly 27 pass attempts. The win sends the Rams to a road Divisional Round matchup against the Eagles, which will showcase two defenses playing their best football of the season.
Jordan Addison

MIN Wide Receiver #3

Jordan Addison caught 3-of-8 targets for 29 yards in the Vikings’ Wildcard loss to the Rams.

Addison failed to come down with multiple deep passes in single coverage, most of which came with the game well out of hand in the second half. The second-year receiver failed to match his gaudy stats from a season ago after a breakout 2023 campaign, finishing his 2024 season with 63 catches for 875 yards and nine touchdowns. Most notably, Addison managed just four receptions on 15 targets in his final two appearances against the Lions and Rams, coinciding with poor quarterback play from Sam Darnold to end the season. Either way, Addison is likely to remain an integral part of the offense moving forward only two years into his rookie contract.
Justin Jefferson

MIN Wide Receiver #18

Justin Jefferson caught 5-of-8 targets for 58 yards in the Vikings’ Wildcard loss to the Rams.

Jefferson appeared visibly frustrated on the sideline in the second half after failing to coral any of the three targets thrown his way after the break, potentially a sign of a lack of trust in quarterback Sam Darnold. That is of particular intrigue considering the franchise reportedly loves J.J. McCarthy and Darnold’s contract terminates this year, something that could lead to a change at signal caller heading into the new league year in Minnesota. Jefferson’s stellar 2024 season ends with 103 catches for 1,533 yards and 10 touchdowns, narrowly edged in the receptions department by triple crown-winning wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
