Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland caught eight of his 15 targets for 137 yards during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. Loveland's impressive rookie campaign continued as he set new personal-best marks in targets and yards. He now has 24 catches, 322 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. According to Jacob Gibbs of CBS Sports, the 21-year-old's big game made him just the second tight end in NFL history to record at least 10 targets and at least 130 yards in a playoff game at age 22 or younger. He joins just Rob Gronkowski in that select group. Loveland will look to remain hot as the Bears advance to face either the Eagles or Rams in the Divisional Round next weekend.

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. Gonzalez left the game after breaking up a pass attempt on second down. At the time of his departure, he had defended two passes. The 23-year-old didn't record an interception during the regular season, but he was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster and is consistently relied upon to cover opponents' No. 1 receivers. His absence will be something to monitor as the Patriots look to defend a three-pronged wide receiver room featuring Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston. Charles Woods should earn more cornerback snaps behind Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard tallied 13 carries, 46 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Los Angeles Rams. He also caught two of four targets for an additional 13 receiving yards. Hubbard lost his lead-back role to Rico Dowdle during the middle of the season, but he seemed to reclaim his top spot over the final few weeks. As the Panthers were eliminated on Saturday, Hubbard registered 15 touches while Dowdle had just six. Dowdle is an impending free agent, so Hubbard should be a fringe top-24 fantasy running back heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts. It's unclear whether Jonathan Brooks (knee) or Trevor Etienne will be able to carve out a role next year.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden caught four of his five targets for 84 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. Golden was disappointing during the regular season, amassing just 29 catches and 361 yards during his rookie season, but he showed up when it mattered most, scoring the first touchdown of his pro career. However, his effort came up short as Green Bay blew a three-score lead and lost to the Bears for the second time in one month. Golden will look to shake off this year's inconsistencies and carry momentum into his second pro season in 2026. Green Bay has a crowded receiver room, but he could be headed for increased opportunities if Romeo Doubs departs in free agency.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) is unlikely to have his practice window opened this week, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Sunday. Warner is working his way back from a dislocated and fractured ankle that he suffered back in Week 6. The injury was initially expected to sideline him for the entire season, but he is ahead of schedule and now has a chance to return during the playoffs. With that being said, it sounds like he won't be ready for the Divisional Round. Warner is on injured reserve, so the Niners would have an opportunity to open his practice window before activating him. Once his window is opened, he has 21 days to practice without being activated. The 49ers have made it this far without Warner on defense, and now, it looks like they'll have to survive at least one more week. Instead, his next chance to play will likely be the NFC Championship, should San Francisco advance that far.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of his 46 pass attempts for 323 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. He also rushed for 11 yards and took one sack. Love played great football for most of Saturday's game, but as the gap between Chicago and Green Bay closed, the young quarterback wasn't able to preserve his team's lead. Love found himself trying to lead a game-winning drive as the Packers trailed by four points in the final minute, but he went just 5-for-11 passing on the final drive and Green Bay lost. Love still had a great showing for bettors and DFS players, and he also spread the ball around with one touchdown pass to four different receivers. He'll now head into the offseason and should rank as a top-10 quarterback in 2026 fantasy drafts.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught eight of his 11 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Chicago Bears. Doubs was relatively inconsistent this season, but he feasted during his final two games against the Bears, totaling 13 catches, 208 yards, and two touchdowns during that span. The 25-year-old was one of several receivers who benefited from Jordan Love's busy passing game on Saturday. He and three other wide receivers all scored touchdowns, but he paced the team in targets, catches, and yards. Doubs is an impending free agent, and it seems likely that he'll test the market with an opportunity to escape from Green Bay's very crowded wide receiver room.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was officially diagnosed with a torn Achilles following Sunday's Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed. The superstar tight end suffered a non-contact injury while catching a pass during the second quarter. Video from the FOX broadcast appeared to show a pop in the back of Kittle's leg, and he was carted to the locker room in visible pain. The 49ers quickly ruled him out with an Achilles injury, and it was later confirmed to be a tear. The 32-year-old will now embark on a lengthy recovery process. Not only is he done for the 2025 playoffs, but he could miss the start of the 2026 regular season. If so, he'll likely drop several spots in the 2026 fantasy football draft tight end rankings. Jake Tonges should step up as the 49ers' top tight end for the rest of the playoffs before he becomes a restricted free agent in March. In the six games that Kittle missed during the regular season, Tonges totaled 29 catches, 269 yards, and three touchdowns. He caught just one pass for 14 yards in Kittle's absence this Sunday.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker caught nine of his 12 targets for 134 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Coker stepped up as Bryce Young's favorite target as the former No. 1 pick attempted 40 passes in the Panthers' comeback effort. The Panthers' effort, fueled by a career-best game from Coker, was admirable, but it came up short against a Rams team that dropped 14 points early. Coker has a chance to enter the 2026 season as Carolina's No. 2 wide receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan and ahead of Xavier Legette. We can't rule out the possibility of Carolina adding another quality pass-catcher during the offseason, though.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. He also lost five yards rushing. The highlight of Moore's game was a 25-yard touchdown catch with just 1:48 left in the fourth quarter. The score put Chicago ahead 31-27, and that score would hold for the final 108 seconds as the Bears completed an improbable comeback and punched their ticket to the Divisional Round. Moore was relatively underwhelming as just the WR35 in full-PPR leagues this year, but there's no denying that he has a flair for the dramatic. He has scored game-winning touchdowns in each of the Bears' last two games against the Packers, and he has scored at least 17.9 full-PPR fantasy points in three of his last five games. The 28-year-old will look to stay hot as the Bears advance to face the Rams in the Divisional Round next weekend.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 10 of 18 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Carolina Panthers. He also had three carries, 14 rushing yards, and an additional rushing touchdown. Nacua's historic year continues; he has 139 catches, 1,826 receiving yards, 119 rushing yards, and 13 total touchdowns through 16 regular-season games and one playoff game. The BYU product is in the midst of the best season of his young career, and he has a very strong chance to win the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year award. He has developed a terrific rapport with MVP candidate Matthew Stafford while showing that he has no trouble co-existing with dependable veteran Davante Adams. He'll head into 2025 fantasy drafts as a consensus top-two receiver and top-four draft pick.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's playoff contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable and missed a pair of practices before being upgraded to a limited participant on Friday. Hampton sat out Week 18 with an ankle injury, but his absence was more of a precaution as Los Angeles rested many starters, and the rookie running back was just four weeks removed from a seven-game absence. He took a little while to get back to 100 percent after the injury, but his 81% snap share and 22 touches from Week 17 should indicate that he's back to a starter's workload. We wouldn't be surprised to see him handle another 20-plus touches against the Patriots, whose run defense started to falter down the stretch but still finished with the third-fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs in 2025.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Boutte was a solid contributor in his role as the No. 2 receiver behind Stefon Diggs throughout the regular season. Over 14 games, he caught 33 passes for 551 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a tougher test on Sunday night as he faces a Chargers defense that allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers during the regular season. DFS players and bettors may choose to stay away from Boutte, as Diggs is the only Patriots receiver who can really be trusted ahead of this tougher matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden displayed his versatility and developed a strong connection with Justin Herbert during the 2025 NFL season. The 22-year-old had 49 catches for 664 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets. Gadsden was a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers who were able to snipe him off waivers in his rookie season. Entering Wild Card Weekend, Gadsden will face a solid New England Patriots defense. The Patriots' defense allowed the fourth-fewest rushing touchdowns and the sixth-fewest rushing yards, while having one of the NFL's mild passing defenses. This could favor the Gadsden and the Chargers' passing attack. If the Chargers have a slow start running the football, they could turn Herbert's arm loose early. Gadsden could see a good number of targets against an average NFL passing defense in his first playoff game.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry finished the 2025 season on fire with three straight TE1 performances to end the year. The 31-year-old had 60 catches for 768 yards and seven touchdowns, while on his way to a TE9 overall finish in PPR leagues. Entering Wild Card Weekend, Henry and the Patriots will face a solid Los Angeles Chargers defense. The Chargers have allowed the third-fewest receiving touchdowns and the fourth-fewest receiving yards this season. In a tough round one match-up, Henry will have to continue to perform at a high level to keep the Patriots' offense moving on schedule. Henry will look to add on to his new career highs in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns that he set in the regular season during the postseason.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was on a fantasy rollercoaster throughout the 2025 regular season. Johnston started the year on a tear and finished on a high note, but in the middle of the year, his fantasy production took a large dip. The 24-year-old had 51 catches for 735 yards and eight touchdowns, missing three regular-season games due to injuries and being rested as a key starter in Week 18. Entering Wild Card Weekend, Johnston will face the New England Patriots. The Patriots' defense ranked near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2025, but they allowed the seventh-most touchdowns to the position. Johnston has had a knack for scoring touchdowns the last two seasons and has become a reliable red zone weapon for Justin Herbert. In a big game, Johnston will look to be a major contributor in the red zone.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has momentum on his side ahead of Sunday's Wild Card Round contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Diggs has been a main reason for the Patriots' success in 2025. He stepped up as the AFC East champions' No. 1 receiver, catching 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR17 in full-PPR leagues. Diggs was targeted just three times in the Patriots' Week 18 win, but he still has 18 catches, 282 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games combined. He has consistently operated as a dependable target for Drake Maye on both medium pass attempts over the middle and longer throws to the perimeter. He should continue to flash pure talent and versatility against the Chargers on Sunday. Los Angeles has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Diggs has shown that he can produce even in trickier matchups.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's playoff contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The superstar tight end appeared to suffer a non-contact injury while catching a pass during the second quarter. Video from the FOX broadcast appeared to show a pop in the back of Kittle's leg, creating concern for a severe Achilles injury. He immediately reached for his lower leg, was in visible pain, and had to be carted to the locker room. The 32-year-old will now undergo additional testing as the 49ers work toward an official diagnosis. If the team's worst fears are confirmed, Kittle will likely miss the remainder of the 2025 NFL playoffs. Jake Tonges should earn more snaps in his absence. In the six games that Kittle missed during the regular season, Tonges totaled 29 catches, 269 yards, and three touchdowns. Tonges is a talented pass-catching tight end, but he doesn't come close to filling the enormous void left behind by Kittle's injury.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was an inconsistent contributor throughout the 2025 regular season, but he'll have an opportunity to get back on track by making a big impact against the New England Patriots in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs on Sunday evening. McConkey had 66 catches for 789 yards and six touchdowns through 16 regular-season games, with his lone absence coming in Week 18 as Los Angeles rested key starters. New England ranked near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2025, but they did allow the seventh-most touchdowns to the position. The best fantasy performance of McConkey's career came against the Patriots in Week 17 of the 2024 season, as he caught eight passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns. New England's defense has gotten much stronger since then, but nonetheless, the second-year wideout will look to use today's game as an opportunity to get back on track.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis (leg) was seen walking on crutches in the locker room following Sunday's Wild Card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. He was also wearing a brace on his left leg. Davis exited the game after an incomplete pass during the fourth quarter, and he was ruled out shortly thereafter. The 26-year-old finished the playoff contest with two catches for 14 yards, occupying a modest role behind Khalil Shakir. As of now, it's too early to tell whether he'll be able to play in the Bills' next playoff game against the Broncos, Texans, or Steelers. If he can't suit up next weekend, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks would earn more snaps on offense.
