  • SEA Coaching Staff
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Frazier is a long-tenured coach in the NFL. His last stint as an NFL head coach was with the Vikings from 2011-2013, which included a 2012 playoff appearance. Since then, he has been a defensive coordinator for the Buccaneers and Bills, and a secondary coach for the Ravens. He joined the Seahawks as an assistant head coach to another defensive mind, Mike Macdonald, for 2024. Frazier is back on the head coaching radar as the Cowboys begin to expand their search.
  • GB Defensive Coordinator
    The Jets have made over 15 head coaching interview requests, with the latest being Jeff Hafley. His last head coaching experience was four seasons at Boston College, which included three bowl games. Joining the Packers prior to the 2024 season, Hafley helped Green Bay’s defense to top-six showings in both points allowed and yards allowed per game. Both numbers were an improvement from 2023 as the Packers also ranked top-ten in defensive DVOA this season. With a loss in the Wild Card round, Hafley’s schedule has now cleared up as the Jets add him to their long list of interview requests.
  • LAR Tight End #89
    Higbee is already practicing after a hospital visit earlier this week, putting him on track to play barring setbacks. Higbee finished second on the team in targets (five) and receptions (five) and led the team in receiving yards (58) last week. His expected presence is huge for the Rams’ upset odds.
  • NYJ Head Coach
    The Jets completed an interview with Ulbrich for their head coaching vacancy earlier this week. After going 3-9 as the team’s interim head coach following Robert Saleh’s firing, Ulbrich is unlikely to stick in New York next season. A defensive coordinator gig would be a good landing spot for Ullbrich, who has held that title for roughly five years in total. His first coordinator job came with the Falcons in 2020 when he took over the role midseason. New York hired him the next offseason.
  • KC Running Back #10
    Pacheco suffered a rib injury in Week 17. He missed the Chiefs’ regular season closer, though the game had no playoff implications for Kansas City and Pacheco was far from the only starter to get the week off. After opening the week with a pair of full practices, Pacheco should be cleared on Thursday’s injury report. He will continue to split the backfield with Kareem Hunt versus Houston.
  • HOU Tight End #86
    The touchdown-dependent tight end is on track to play, having practiced in a limited capacity twice now. While Schultz is not a big-time difference maker, the Texans would undoubtedly prefer to have their starting tight end in the lineup for a potential shootout against the Chiefs.
  • HOU Running Back #28
    Details on the injury have not yet been released but this is a story to follow closely. Popping up on the injury report with a mid-week Limited Participant status suggests Mixon suffered this injury in Wednesday’s practice. He notably missed Weeks 3-5 due to an ankle injury but whether this can be considered an aggravation remains unknown. Mixon will likely play through the pain but would be at risk for an in-game setback.
  • FA Wide Receiver #82
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter carefully broke down what is ultimately a brilliant “procedural move” by the Ravens. Johnson is not eligible to play in this post-season and will not be “awarded” to the Ravens until after the Super Bowl. Schefter notes Johnson “qualifies as an unrestricted free agent this offseason and, if he signs with another team, he factors into Baltimore’s compensatory pick formula, potentially helping it obtain an additional draft pick in 2026.” Schefter adds that Johnson “likely won’t step foot back into the Ravens’ facility. But he now can help Baltimore in the off-season.”
  • WAS Tight End #86
    Ertz was held out of Tuesday’s session. A limited practice puts him on track to play on Saturday, though tomorrow’s injury report will be more telling. If Ertz can’t go, John Bates and Ben Sinnott will both see an uptick in snaps versus the Lions. Assuming he plays, Ertz, who has operated as the Commanders’ No. 2 pass-catcher for most of the year, will be a strong fantasy option in the Divisional Round slate.
  • DET Tackle #68
    This could end up being a non-issue but a playoff practice absence for a core offensive player is noteworthy nonetheless. Decker is one of the league’s best left tackles and he makes life far easier on Jared Goff. Hopefully, Decker is good to go this week. We will report back with updates as soon as possible.
