Matt Ryan

FA Quarterback #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Falcons completed their interview with Matt Ryan for their president of football vacancy.

ESPN previously reported that “many believe” the position was “created” for Ryan. It is safe to say he is the favorite to land the role. Per team owner Arthur Blank, the president of football will lead the interview process as the team searches for its new head coach and general manager. Both positions will report directly to the president of football, who reports directly to Blank. The trio “will work collaboratively as a football leadership team on all football decisions.” While the head coach and general manager “remain the primary decision-makers” in their respective roles, “final decision-making authority will rest with the president of football.”
David Blough

WAS Offensive Coordinator

Commanders hired David Blough as offensive coordinator.

The former NFL quarterback was on the Lions’ practice squad as recently as 2023. Blough, 30, has just two years of coaching experience, both with the Commanders as their assistant quarterbacks coach. The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala notes that Blough “helped fill in when QBs coach Tavita Pritchard left for Stanford” in November. The Commanders were evidently impressed with Blough’s ability to rise to the occasion. The Lions had requested an interview with Blough for their vacant offensive coordinator role earlier this week.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is not on San Francisco’s final Wild Card injury report.

Kittle got in limited work on Wednesday and Thursday and was spotted practicing again on Friday. He did play against the Seahawks in Week 18 so it’s not much of a surprise that he’ll be ready here. Kittle’s output will be paramount as the 49ers try to find a non-Christian McCaffrey trick over the middle against a fierce Eagles defense. He should make for a top-of-line DFS or Playoff Best Ball play at TE this week.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) is questionable for San Francisco’s Wild Card game against the Eagles.

Pearsall did not practice at any point this week. We’d characterize Pearsall as on the pessimistic side of questionable, though we’re sure the 49ers will give him every chance to get active in a must-win playoff game. The 49ers wideout has not played since aggravating his PCL sprain in Week 17.
Jaylen Warren

PIT Running Back #30

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (illness) practiced fully on Friday.

Warren should be good to go for the Steelers’ Wild Card Round game against the Texans on Monday. The Texans field a top-tier defense, so having the backfield at full strength is helpful. Warren has been splitting work with RB Kenneth Gainwell and can be safely expected to continue doing so in the playoffs.
Mike McDaniel

FA Head Coach

Titans scheduled an interview with former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for their head-coaching vacancy on Wednesday.

Yesterday, it was reported that the Lions had reached out to McDaniel regarding their offensive coordinator vacancy. The former Dolphins’ head coach now has the chance to make a lateral move over to the AFC South, though. McDaniel could make life easier for QB Cam Ward with his creative play designs. It is an interesting potential pairing. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that there “has been significant interest in McDaniel since Miami fired him.”
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is not on Philadelphia’s final Wild Card injury report.

The veteran tight end got in a full session and should be good to go against the 49ers. He figures to be involved in Philadelphia’s red zone packages, as he was all season, even if the shape of the Eagles passing game has otherwise failed to get him enough targets to be fantasy-interesting. Goedert cleared 50 yards just twice in 15 starts this year.
Lane Johnson

PHI Tackle #65

Lane Johnson (foot) is questionable for Philadelphia’s Wild Card game against the 49ers.

The veteran got in three limited sessions in his return from a midseason Lisfranc injury. We’d be surprised if he didn’t at least give it a go despite the questionable status. It would have been good to have seen a full practice at any time this week.
Dan Quinn

WAS Head Coach

ESPN’s John Keim reports Dan Quinn “wanted a different offensive identity and spoke often with his staff of wanting a better run-pass balance.”

‘Bill’ Croskey-Merritt and restricted free agent Chris Rodriguez would stand to gain fantasy value if the Commanders focused on a more run-focused approach, as they seem like a team that has limited resources to dedicate to the running back position this offseason. It’s hard to speculate on who the Commanders could bring in to install a scheme that’s akin to what Quinn desires just based on the idea of more run-pass balance, but the search to replace Kliff Kingsbury looks destined to bring in someone with a more buttoned-up run game.
Kevin Stefanski

FA Head Coach

Ravens completed their interview with former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski for their head-coaching vacancy.

Varying explanations have been offered as to why the Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh. Pairing QB Lamar Jackson with a creative, offensively-minded head coach, who is widely viewed as a quarterback guru, could make for a very fun match. Stefanski served as the Browns’ head coach from 2020-2025 after a successful 2019 season serving as the Vikings’ offensive coordinator.
