According to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack is considering retirement. Mack is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and has been one of the top pass rushers over the past decade. Mack was drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. He spent four years with the Raiders before moving to Chicago, where he called home for the next four seasons. He then joined the Chargers, where he spent the past three seasons of his career. This season, the 33-year-old tallied 39 tackles and six sacks across 16 games. Overall, Mack has tallied 107.5 sacks and 630 tackles across his 11-season NFL career.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 61 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the postseason. It's the first time since Week 7 that Shakir secured all his targets and the sixth time this season. He led the Bills in receptions and targets but trailed Curtis Samuel (68) in yards thanks to a long completion to the latter. Shakir remains Josh Allen's favorite receiver and should be heavily involved when the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson rushed nine times for 44 yards and caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-7 victory over the Denver Broncos to advance to the Divisional round. Johnson was the second running back to get a touch (behind James Cook) and was called upon more often after rookie Ray Davis suffered a concussion and couldn't finish the game. Johnson's highlight play came on a fourth-and-one from Denver's 24-yard line late in the third quarter. Josh Allen kept the play alive and found the 27-year-old for a sliding catch in the back of the endzone. Johnson's involvement next weekend could depend on Davis' health.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught three passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in the team's dominant win over the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card matchup. Samuel wasn't heavily involved (three targets) but led Buffalo in receiving yards thanks to a long catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Already ahead two touchdowns entering the final frame, Josh Allen found Samuel for a 55-yard score on the quarter's first play to cement Buffalo's victory. Samuel doesn't hold much value the way Allen shares the love in the passing game. He was one of five receivers to earn three targets, which only trailed Khalil Shakir's six.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught all three of his targets for 47 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the first round of the postseason. A large chunk of Kincaid's yards came on a 35-yard strike from Josh Allen midway through the fourth quarter. That was the longest reception of Kincaid's season. The 25-year-old has caught three or fewer passes in seven of 14 games this season. He and other Buffalo pass catchers are difficult to trust with how Allen spreads the football around in the passing game. Kincaid and the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 20 of 26 pass attempts for 272 yards and two touchdowns in the team's blowout win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the playoffs. He added eight rush attempts for 46 yards in typical Josh Allen fashion. Allen didn't notch his first score until late in the third quarter when he found running back Ty Johnson in the back of the end zone on a fourth-and-one from Denver's 24-yard line. He connected with Curtis Samuel for a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown on Buffalo's next drive. Allen and the Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook carried the ball 23 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the first round of the playoffs. The Bills attacked Denver's run defense early and often. Cook picked up 62 yards and his score on the team's first two drives. Cook's 23 carries were a season-high mark for rush attempts and touches. Unfortunately, he wasn't involved, or needed, in the passing game (zero targets). A matchup against one of the league's top run defenses (Baltimore) is next for Cook and the Buffalo Bills.

According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers. Dean sustained this injury during the second quarter. He needed assistance to get off the field and was eventually carted to the locker room. Before exiting he tallied six tackles, with three of them being solo. Oren Burks should have an increased role for the remainder of the game.

From RotoBaller

According to the team, Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Darius Slay Jr. (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers. Before exiting, Slay tallied two tackles (both solo) and an interception. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Isaiah Rodgers to see most of the snaps.

From RotoBaller

According to the team, Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (lower leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wyatt sustained the injury in the opening quarter. While sidelined, Kenny Clark, Karl Brooks, and Tedarrell Slaton will see most of the snaps on the Green Bay defensive line.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton brought in a team-high five receptions for 75 yards on nine targets during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Sutton's nine targets were also the most on the team. The veteran wideout was Bo Nix's go-to option all afternoon. His longest reception went for 21 yards. Despite their tough loss, Sutton enjoyed a productive afternoon. The 29-year-old enjoyed a nice bounce-back season as he tallied over 1,000 yards for just the second time in his career and the first time since 2019. Across 17 games, Sutton tallied 1,081 yards with eight touchdowns. Sutton was very productive over the final six games of the regular season, averaging an impressive 17.8 PPR points per game over this stretch.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a quiet showing during their wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills, as he caught just two of his four targets for a mere 12 yards. He also added one yard on two rushing attempts. The Broncos offense has trouble finding their footing after the first quarter, hindering Mims' output. His four targets were the second-most on the team. This was a disappointing showing for the sophomore wideout as he began to enjoy a late-season breakout. Over the final five games, Mims averaged a strong 17.5 PPR points per game with 68.2 yards per game. Over the final two weeks of the regular season, Mims tallied four touchdowns and 77.0 yards per game. The Oklahoma product will look to find more consistency as he enters his third professional season.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams tallied 29 yards on seven attempts during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Williams also brought in both of his targets for 14 yards. With Audric Estime listed as a healthy scratch, Williams led the Denver backfield, as the depth options, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie combined for just four rushing attempts. However, quarterback Bo Nix led the team in rushing with 43 yards. This was another disappointing game for Williams, as he had trouble finding consistency in the Denver rushing attack. Over the final six games of the regular season, the North Carolina product averaged a poor 2.4 yards per carry and only 11.0 yards per game. Williams saw his fantasy value decrease this season after falling into a committee in the Denver backfield and will look to rebound in 2025.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix went 13-for-22 with 144 yards and a touchdown during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. Nix added 43 yards on four carries, which led the team on the ground. The Oregon product started out hot completing a 43-yard TD to his college teammate Troy Franklin to give Denver an early lead on their first drive. However, the Broncos could not get anything going on offense throughout the rest of the game as the Bills shut the door after this touchdown. Nix relied on his top wideout, Courtland Sutton, in this contest as he saw a team-high nine targets and brought in five passes for 75 yards, which also led the team. Despite the tough loss, Nix enjoyed an excellent debut season, throwing for 3,7775 with 33 total touchdowns. After an impressive debut campaign, the former first-round selection is a rising asset in dynasty formats.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin caught two of his three targets for 54 yards and a touchdown during their playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. Franklin made an impact early, bringing in a 43-yard TD pass from his college teammate Bo Nix to give Denver an early lead on their first offensive drive of the game. Franklin's other reception went for 11 yards in the fourth quarter. Franklin's 54 yards and three targets were both second-most among Denver pass catchers, only less than Courtland Sutton. Throughout the regular season, Franklin struggled to find consistent opportunities as he tallied just 263 yards and two scores on 28 receptions. Franklin will look to earn a larger role in the Denver offense in his sophomore campaign.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (concussion) exited Sunday's AFC Wild Card game against the Denver Broncos early and won't return. Davis took a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit during the third quarter and headed to the locker room shortly after. He was evaluated for a concussion and ultimately ruled out for the game. The 25-year-old had one carry for three yards and was not targeted before exiting Sunday's contest. It leaves James Cook and Ty Johnson to handle Buffalo's backfield for the rest of the game. Johnson should see an uptick in usage backing up Cook with Davis sidelined. Davis is considered day-to-day for now and will need to clear concussion protocols in order to play in the AFC Divisional Round if Buffalo advances.

From RotoBaller

According to the team, Green Bay Packers linebacker Brenton Cox Jr. (foot), and defensive tackle Tedarrell Slaton (ankle) are both active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cox was sidelined during Week 18 and logged three limited practice sessions this week. Slaton has yet to miss a game this season. Cox has appeared in seven games this season and tallied 12 tackles and four sacks. Slaton has tallied 30 tackles across 17 contests this season with one sack. Both defenders will operate as rotational pieces in Sunday's contest.

According to the team, Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) and safety Evan Williams (quadriceps) are both active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Walker missed the previous three contests with an ankle injury and remained a limited participant in practice this week. Across 13 games this season, the linebacker has tallied an impressive 102 tackles with 2.5 sacks and two deflections. Williams has also missed the previous three contests but will return just in time for the playoffs. Through 13 games, the 23-year-old has tallied 49 tackles, three deflections, one interception, and a forced fumble. Both should see a heavy workload as they look to pull off the upset against the Eagles.

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports that the Chicago Bears are looking to interview Notre Dame HC Marcus Freeman for their head coach opening. Freeman has never coached in the NFL and is set to coach the College Football Playoff National Championship game against Ohio State on January 20. The 39-year-old has a (33-9) record as a head coach and led Notre Dame to a (14-1) record this season, including a trip to the national championship game. Freeman was given a four-year extension with Notre Dame in December, making him one of the highest-paid college head coaches in history. With the extension and college championship game coming up, Freeman will likely stay put in Notre Dame. Chicago continues its search after firing head coach Matt Eberflus during the season. Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn have been interviewed for the position along with New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, Arizona Cardinals Aaron Petzing, and former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Caroll. Former Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera and current offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury will be interviewed this week. The Bears are searching for that head coach who will be a perfect fit to help develop the No. 1 2024 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams, and turn around a team that won five games in 2024.

The Pittsburgh Steelers surrendered 28 points and 464 yards of offense to the Baltimore Ravens while recording just one sack and no takeaways in a Wild Card Round loss. Pittsburgh simply had no answer for Baltimore's ground game as running back Derrick Henry went off for 186 yards and two scores while quarterback Lamar Jackson posted 81 rushing yards of his own. The Ravens' 299 total rushing yards were the most by any team in a playoff game since 2013. Linebacker Alex Highsmith logged Pittsburgh's only sack of the contest while Second-Team AP All-Pro T.J. Watt was held without a tackle. The Steelers fell apart defensively over the last two months of the season after a promising start in 2024. Significant changes to the coaching staff and personnel could be on the horizon this offseason.
