Mike McDaniel

LAC Offensive Coordinator

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel canceled his interview with the Bills to discuss the team’s head coaching position on Friday.

While the Bills are just beginning their search for a new head coach after dismissing Sean McDermott earlier this week, McDaniel has already withdrawn his name from the Browns head coaching search and interviewed for multiple offensive coordinator positions before agreeing to sign on with the Chargers. Schultz says McDaniel and the Bills remain in contact for a potential interview, but there’s a “strong possibility” he moves forward with the Chargers. McDaniel’s presence in Los Angeles would be massive as fantasy managers could expect the 42-year-old coach to get the most out of Justin Herbert and the rest of the Chargers’ offense.
J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

Broncos ruled out RB J.K. Dobbins (foot) for the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Dobbins is not yet ready to resume playing. He remained limited throughout all three practices this week after the Broncos opened his 21-day practice window on Monday. With Dobbins out, rookie RB RJ Harvey will again lead the backfield. He totaled 11 touches last week. Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin handled four and RB Tyler Badie had one.
Pat Bryant

DEN Wide Receiver #13

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (concussion) is not on Denver’s injury report for the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Bryant opened the week with a limited session on Wednesday and closed it by practicing fully two days in a row. Before suffering a concussion, the Broncos’ third-round rookie was a featured player on the team’s opening drive last week, catching three passes for 32 yards. He could operate similarly this week.
Sam Darnold

SEA Quarterback #14

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) is not on Seattle’s injury report for the NFC Championship Game against the Rams.

The Seahawks cleared Darnold for action just as their Friday practice session was beginning, so we do not yet know his participation level. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday after playing through the injury last weekend. Promisingly, no setbacks have been reported. He will also have LT Charles Cross (foot) active on Sunday.
Charles Cross

SEA Tackle #67

Charles Cross (foot) is not on Seattle’s final injury report for the NFC Championship game.

Despite not practicing either of the first two sessions of the week, Cross will start against the Rams. Backup T Josh Jones (knee/ankle) is questionable, and third-string left tackle Amari Kight (knee) is doubtful. Cross would appear to be on the spot to play through the pain if neither of his backups were cleared.
Aaron Rodgers

PIT Quarterback #8

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero believes “if Aaron Rodgers were coming back to play for one coach in 2026, it would be Mike McCarthy.”

Pelissero noted that this wouldn’t be the Steelers “trying to lure” Rodgers to come back, but instead frames it as “a bonus” that might not be available if Pittsburgh hired a different head coach with no previous relationship with Rodgers. Given how the Steelers seem locked into a mindset of trying to win games rather than rip it down to the studs, you can squint and understand how they’d come to McCarthy as a good option compared to the more unproven coaches in this hiring class. We will be writing blurbs about Aaron Rodgers until the end of time.
Philip Rivers

FA Quarterback #17

Bills completed an interview with former Colts QB Philip Rivers for their head-coaching vacancy.

Rivers, who has no professional head coaching experience, would seem to be a massive longshot to get this job on paper. But you never know. The 44-year-old did complete 63 percent of his passes for four touchdowns and three interceptions in three starts last year, our latest sign yet that anything is possible. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero told Rich Eisen that he “doesn’t get the sense” that we’ll wake up tomorrow and Rivers is the next head coach of the Bills.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson believes the Dolphins “almost assuredly” will release Tyreek Hill before mid-March.

The Dolphins are over the cap before they even get into what it would take to release Tua Tagovailoa off the books. Hill has a $51.1 million cap number for 2026 and the Dolphins can save at least $23 million in cap space depending on what designation they would decide to use to release Hill’s contract. He has a $11 million guarantee set to activate in mid-March as well as a $5 million roster bonus. Hill, entering his age-32 season after tearing a number of ligaments in his knee, would be a fascinating free agent. Perhaps even an affordable one for a contender.
Byron Young

LA Outside Linebacker #0

Rams EDGE Byron Young (knee) is questionable to play in the NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team fully expects Young to play on Sunday. That is great news. Young is up to 56 tackles, 74 quarterback pressures and a team-high 13 sacks this season. Although he has banked six quarterback pressures in two games against the Seahawks this season, he has not yet recorded a sack against them.
Elijah Arroyo

SEA Tight End #18

Seahawks activated TE Elijah Arroyo from injured reserve.

He’ll play in the NFC Championship game, though his role might be small. Arroyo has been sidelined since Week 14 and hasn’t drawn more than two targets since Week 7’s win over the Texans. Perhaps the Seahawks will scheme up some downfield shots to him — the fact that they’re barely doing that with a healthy Rashid Shaheed probably makes Arroyo a stay-away in DFS contests this weekend.
