Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams nearly led his team to another improbable comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, completing 23 of 42 pass attempts for 257 yards and two touchdowns. However, the 24-year-old also threw three interceptions, including a back-breaking pick in overtime that set the Rams up for a game-winning field goal. Williams took Bears fans and fantasy managers on a rollercoaster ride across his first two postseason games, completing 52.2% of his pass attempts for 618 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also provided production with his legs, rushing for 60 yards on eight attempts. Williams' turnover struggles in the playoffs were a bit of a surprise, as he threw just seven interceptions across 17 regular-season games. Overall, the young quarterback still has plenty to work on, but he showed signs of significant growth from year one to year two and should be a sought-after fantasy quarterback in 2026.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams helped power his team to the NFC Championship Game by recording 21 carries for 67 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Chicago Bears. Williams also hauled in four catches for 30 yards on five targets. Dating back to the regular season, the 25-year-old has now played exactly 63% of the Rams' offensive snaps in three straight games. While Los Angeles continues to utilize running back Blake Corum, Williams has re-emerged as the team's clear lead back. Against Chicago, Williams earned 25 touches, compared to just six for Corum. Across two postseason games this year, Williams has now recorded 172 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 40 touches. In the NFC Championship Game, he will face a difficult matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Williams had some success across his two regular-season outings against Seattle, recording a combined 181 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 39 touches.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore posted a strong outing in his final game of the 2025 season, recording five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's NFC Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was a standout performer across Chicago's two postseason games, hauling in 11 receptions for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. However, Moore had his least productive regular season since his rookie year, recording 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. Going forward, the Bears have a trio of young pass-catchers in wide receivers Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze, as well as tight end Colston Loveland, who could push Moore down Chicago's target-share pecking order. Moore's future status with the Bears could be a storyline for fantasy managers to monitor over the course of the offseason.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was one of the stars of his team's AFC Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans, hauling in three receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The 23-year-old averaged 16.7 yards per reception in the regular season and has continued to be a big-play merchant in the playoffs. Across two postseason contests, Boutte has now recorded seven catches for 141 yards (20.1 yards per reception). In the AFC Championship Game, New England will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. While Denver fielded a strong overall pass defense during the regular season, they were a unit that was susceptible to explosive plays through the air. The Broncos allowed 10 receptions of 40 or more yards, tied for the fourth-most in the NFL. Boutte should have his chances to provide downfield production for fantasy managers in the AFC Championship.

Dynasty | Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker had 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a blowout playoff win against San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: The injuries were just too much for the 49ers to overcome this year as Seattle shredded them all game long. Walker himself benefitted from a knee injury sustained by Zach Charbonnet to take control of the backfield and have his best game of the season. Walker will be an interesting case this off-season as he would be in line to have another monster workload next week if Charbonnet misses time. An impending free agent, Walker may be in the midst of a serious audition. His ultimate dynasty value will rest on where he plays next year.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 20 of his 42 passes for 258 yards in a 20-17 overtime win over the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round. RB Kyren Williams rushed for a team-high 87 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and added four grabs four 30 yards. RB Blake Corum was held in check, finishing with six carries for 19 yards. WR Puka Nacua and TE Colby Parkinson tied for the team lead with 56 receiving yards. Parkinson caught three passes, and Nacua had five receptions to go along with two carries for six yards. Davante Adams was limited to two catches for 24 yards, and TE Tyler Higbee had just one catch for 27 yards. WR Jordan Whittington finished with two receptions for 35 yards. S Kamren Curl turned in a standout performance, logging a team-high 13 tackles, including seven solo stops, and an interception. LB Nathan Landman finished with 10 tackles, including five solo stops, and CB Cobie Durant had two tackles, three passes defensed and a pair of interceptions.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins caught six of his 10 targets for 59 yards during Sunday's Divisional Round loss against the New England Patriots. Higgins took on a larger role with Nico Collins (concussion) sidelined, and it resulted in him leading the team in both catches and receiving yards. The Iowa State product put together a strong rookie campaign, catching 41 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns through 17 regular-season games. He added another 14 catches and 98 yards in the playoffs. Heading into next year, Higgins will continue to face competition for targets from Nico Collins and Jaylin Noel. Christian Kirk is expected to depart in free agency, but Tank Dell (knee) should take his place on offense and will create additional competition. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Houston, but Higgins will have a chance to emerge as the No. 2 target behind Collins.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught four of his six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans. The veteran receiver had a decent revenge game against his old team while helping the Patriots punch their ticket to the AFC Championship. Diggs has a solid 11 targets over his last two games, but his 56 yards during that span are a big step backward from the 282 yards he accrued over the final three weeks of the regular season. Fortunately for Diggs' managers and bettors, he salvaged his performance with the touchdown, delivering double-digit fantasy points (full-PPR) for the third time in his last five games. He'll likely carry a similar touchdown-dependent outlook into next week's matchup against a strong Denver defense. After all, the Broncos allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers during the regular season.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 23 of his 42 passes for 257 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. He added 40 rushing yards on five carries. RB D'Andre Swift rushed 19 times for 76 yards, and RB Kyle Monangai chipped in 36 rushing yards on 13 carries and caught four passes for 36 yards. TE Colston Loveland caught four passes for a team-high 56 yards, and WR DJ Moore had 52 receiving yards and a touchdown on a team-high five catches. WR Rome Odunze gained 44 receiving yards on two receptions, WR Luther Burden III added three catches for 24 yards, and TE Cole Kmet finished with three grabs for 31 yards and a game-tying touchdown that forced overtime. S Jaquan Brisker led the way on defense with a team-high 14 tackles, including eight solo stops, a sack and two passes defensed. CB Kyler Gordon, DE Montez Sweat and DE Dominique Robinson all recorded a sack in the loss.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 16 of his 27 pass attempts for 179 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He also rushed for 10 yards, took five sacks, and lost two fumbles. Maye didn't have the cleanest game by any means, and his three turnovers made life more difficult for the Patriots. Nevertheless, New England fended off the Houston Texans, who had one of their worst offensive performances in a while. Maye played better than his quarterback opponent, C.J. Stroud, and as a result, he'll survive another week. The former No. 3 pick moves on to face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game next week. It'll be another tough matchup, as Denver allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks during the regular season.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 70 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. Stevenson led the backfield in touches on Sunday, and understandably so. He was far more efficient (4.4 YPC) than teammate TreVeyon Henderson (2.1 YPC) once again. We'll likely see a similar distribution of touches heading into next week's AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos. Denver has a strong defense, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs during the regular season. With that being said, Stevenson has shown that he can produce even against strong run defenses. Look no further than Sunday's playoff win over Houston. He should remain a strong option for DFS managers and bettors going forward, especially in formats where his pass-catching role gives him a boost.

Dynasty | Texans running back Woody Marks had 17 rushing yards in a playoff loss to the Patriots. Dynasty Analysis: He "added" two catches for 19 receiving yards. Marks had 703 rushing yards, 24 catches, 208 receiving yards and five total touchdowns as Joe Mixon sat out the entire season. This playoff game did little to step speculation indicating the starter for Houston next year is currently not on the roster. In short, Marks looked good but not great as a rookie. He will enter the off-season as the RB1 in Houston but it's unlikely he starts the season as such next year. He looks like a sell candidate in dynasty leagues at the moment.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 20 of his 47 pass attempts for 212 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions during Sunday's Divisional Round loss against the New England Patriots. He also took three sacks and rushed for 11 yards. The former No. 2 pick had an ugly game, and his turnovers proved to be the difference-maker in Houston's two-possession loss. It was previously reported that the Texans have decided to pick up Stroud's fifth-year option for 2027, and while that decision isn't official yet, Sunday's game likely won't change much. However, this frustrating performance could have some impact on whether Stroud earns a long-term extension in the future. He is now 3-3 in the playoffs through three seasons, totaling six touchdowns, six interceptions, and seven fumbles during that span. He'll look to clean up the turnovers ahead of the 2026 regular season. He should rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into next summer's fantasy drafts.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (head) was evaluated for a concussion but was cleared to return to the Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Spin: Moore has been leading the Chicago passing attack, and he was on the receiving end of the team's first touchdown. After being cleared to return, Moore will try to pick up where he left off.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers would be welcomed back in 2026, although the Steelers believe a return is unlikely due to the resignation of head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Spin: The Steelers have left the door open for Rodgers returning, but if he does play in 2026, it will likely be with a new team. If Rodgers does decide to suit up for another season, he will likely be a midrange QB2 regardless of where he signs.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game against the New England Patriots with a knee injury. He suffered a knee injury during the fourth quarter and will not return on Sunday. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, his knee injury appeared significant. Dalton Schultz also exited Sunday's game earlier with a calf issue, and now leaves Harrison Bryant as the only healthy tight end for the Texans. Stover caught one of three targets for two yards before exiting. The 25-year-old will undergo additional tests after the game to determine the severity of the injury. Bryant should see an expanded role with both Schultz and Stover out.

New England Patriots CB Carlton Davis (head) left the AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans in the second half due to a head injury. Prior to departing, he had four solo tackles, a tackle for loss, four passes defensed and two interceptions.

From TheHuddle

The Denver Broncos signed quarterback Ben DiNucci to their practice squad on Sunday. He rejoins the Broncos after playing for the team two seasons ago. With Bo Nix (ankle) set to miss the rest of the playoffs due to a broken bone in his ankle, the Broncos added DiNucci for quarterback depth. The 29-year-old was waived by the Falcons during training camp and hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020. Jarrett Stidham will start Sunday's AFC Championship game against either the Houston Texans or New England Patriots, while Sam Ehlinger will serve as the backup. The DiNucci signing doesn't have any fantasy impact, as he's likely to be the team's emergency quarterback unless the Broncos bring in other QB options next week.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (eye) has returned in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans. Stevenson exited Sunday's early during the first half after being poked in the eye. The 27-year-old currently has 30 rushing yards on four carries while catching two passes for eight yards. He logged a few carries during the third quarter and appears to be over the eye issue that caused him to miss a few drives in the second quarter. Stevenson returning on Sunday is a massive boost as New England looks maintain its 21-13 lead over the Texans.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the Chicago Bears. Atwell is a healthy scratch after he did not appear on the Rams' injury report leading up to gameday. The 26-year-old had an underwhelming regular season and also dealt with a six-week injury absence. He finished the campaign with six catches, 192 yards, and one touchdown, and he was not targeted in the Rams' Wild Card win over Carolina. His absence should lead to more offensive snaps for Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield in their depth roles behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
