Dynasty | Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a 55-23 blowout win in the NFC Championship game. Dynasty Analysis: Well, if there were any questions about Barkley, they've been answered this season. Barkley was again a monster in this one as he took his first carry 60 yards to the house and just added on from there. He's the most talented running back in the league and while his age may give some people a little pause in terms of his dynasty value, he's clearly worked his way back up into the round one conversation in dynasty league start-ups. He's simply that good.

Dynasty | Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 20-of-28 passes for 246 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, adding 16 rushing yards and three more touchdowns in a 55-23 wipeout of Washington in the NFC title game. Dynasty Analysis: The Eagles are proving to everyone that a run-first offense can still win games in the NFL. Oh, and it helps when you have an elite runner at quarterback and the best running back in the NFL. Hurts and Saquon Barkley combined for a whopping six rushing touchdowns in this one as the Eagles piled up the most points ever in a championship game. Hurts has certainly regained any value he lost early on in the year and could ascend even more with a big game in the Super Bowl.

Dynasty | Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught 11 passes for 104 yards in a loss in the NFC title game. Dynasty Analysis: Nearly left for dead at the beginning of the season, Ertz came on strong and had another great year. Today was incredible as he posted a whopping 16 targets. While clearly aging and no longer the threat he used to be, Ertz is still roster worthy and should be a solid TE2 next year as long as he doesn't decide to retire.

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 29-of-48 passes for 255 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a blowout loss against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. Dynasty Analysis: Daniels added 48 rushing yards and a score to lead the Commanders as well. With Washington simply unable to stop the Eagles offense, it was next to impossible for Daniels to really do much of anything. Regardless of this outcome, he clearly showed enough to prove to everyone he's going to be a QB1 in dynasty leagues for the long haul. Of all the surprises this season, he's one of the most pleasant.

Dynasty | Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 22-of-34 passes for 237 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in an AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs. Dynasty Analysis: Allen looked a little shaky at first but did his best to keep the Bills in the game. Unfortunately, he couldn't overcome the Chiefs defense yet again and sees another season come to a close. Dynasty managers won't mind much as there are few (if any) players you'd rather have at the helm of your dynasty squads. He was tremendous again this season and should be a top-shelf option for years to come.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught two passes for 19 yards in the 32-29 AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills. The Bills defense made a concerted effort to remove the easy button for Patrick Mahomes, leading to more opportunities for the other Chiefs pass catchers. Despite Kelce being minimally involved, Kansas City did enough to advance to the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. This year's Super Bowl matchup will be a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, which ended with a Chiefs victory. In their last Super Bowl matchup, Kelce caught six passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. The 35-year-old is two touchdowns away from tying Jerry Rice for the most postseason touchdowns of all time, so he could be in for a historic performance. It will be a difficult matchup, considering the Eagles defense was arguably the best in the league this season, but Kelce is known for showing up in big moments.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills. The rookie showed up in the AFC Championship game, scoring an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Worthy led the Chiefs in catches, receiving yards, and targets in the crucial win to send Kansas City to their third-straight Super Bowl appearance. The 21-year-old has become the most reliable wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes and should be a vital piece of the game plan for the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Worthy will have to contend with the Philadelphia Eagles, who had one of the best defenses in the league this season. The Eagles lost to the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, so they will have some extra motivation to even the score. Worthy will look to continue being a top option for Mahomes in the biggest game of his life.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt handled 17 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown in the 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills. Hunt also caught one pass for six yards in this contest. The 29-year-old was the clear lead back, finishing the game with 12 more carries than Isiah Pacheco. The veteran running back was the dependable between-the-tackles runner that Kansas City needed him to be in this close victory. Kansas City has now advanced to their third straight Super Bowl in search of the NFL's first three-peat. Hunt was not on the team for their first two championships, but he will play an important role in search of their third. The Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles, who they beat in their 2023 Super Bowl matchup. The Eagles defensive unit was among the best in the league this season, so Hunt will have his work cut out for him in the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 18 of 26 pass attempts (69%) for 245 yards and a touchdown in the 32-29 AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes also rushed 11 times for 43 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran quarterback completed a 23-yard pass to Xavier Worthy with a little over four minutes left in the fourth quarter to set up first-and-goal. The Chiefs then went on to kick the go-ahead field goal to end that drive. The Kansas City defense did their part, but Mahomes was instrumental on the ground in this crucial win. The 29-year-old will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024-2025 Super Bowl. Kansas City will have two weeks to prepare for the 2023 Super Bowl rematch. Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to become the first NFL team ever to complete a three-peat.

TE Travis Kelce was fairly quiet with just two catches and 19 yards on four targets, while WR DeAndre Hopkins had a single 11-yard grab on two targets.

The Chicago Bears are hiring Dennis Allen to fill the team's vacant defensive coordinator position, sources said Sunday, Jan. 26.

From TheHuddle

The Chicago Bears have added Dennis Allen and Declan Doyle to their coaching staff, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Allen will be the Bears' new defensive coordinator while Doyle takes over as their offensive coordinator. These are two flashy hires for the Bears and their new head coach, Ben Johnson. As Johnson rounds out his coaching staff, he will have two highly-regarded coaches working for him. Allen has delivered subpar results as a head coach with the Raiders and Saints, but he was a solid defensive coordinator in Denver and New Orleans. Meanwhile, Doyle is an emerging face in coaching circles at just 28 years old. Interestingly, both Allen and Doyle worked alongside Dan Campbell in New Orleans, so perhaps the Lions' head coach passed along a favorable review of the two coordinators. Campbell and Johnson worked together closely for seven years between Miami and Detroit.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught four of his five targets for 26 yards during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Title game. Zaccheaus also caught a two-point conversion in the third quarter. Zaccheaus' five targets matched him with No.2 wideout Dyami Brown. His yardage total was the fourth-most among Washington pass catchers. This was a nice bounce-back showing for Zaccheaus, as he caught just three passes for 19 yards in the wild-card round and did not get on the scoresheet in the divisional round. However, during the final three weeks of the regular season, Zacchaeus was a key part of the offense as he tallied 68.7 yards per game with three touchdowns. Zaccheaus will likely continue to operate as a depth wide receiver if he returns to Washington in 2025.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught three of his seven targets for 51 yards and a score during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. McLaurin's best play of the afternoon came in the second quarter when he scored on a 36-yard catch-and-run. However, during the second half, the top wideout was quiet as Jayden Daniels directed most of the passing attack toward tight end Zach Ertz. His 51 yards and seven targets placed him second among pass-catchers, only behind Ertz in both statistics. McLaurin has found the back of the end zone in each playoff game. During the regular season, McLaurin enjoyed a career season as he found the back end zone 13 times, which set a new franchise record. He also eclipsed the century mark for the fourth straight season. McLaurin should be viewed as a solid WR2 with upside heading into the 2025 campaign with Daniels under center.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught three of his five targets for 42 yards during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Brown continued his postseason emergence as he tallied the third-most yards on the team, trailing only Zach Ertz and Terry McLaurin. However, he did lose a fumble. His longest reception of the game went for 24 yards. During the first two rounds of the playoffs, the North Carolina product tallied 93.5 yards per game with a score. This was a stark contrast to his regular season performance, where he tallied just 19.3 yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Brown's status during the offseason, as he could have a path to continue this breakout into 2025 if he retains a spot in the starting lineup.

The Seattle Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their offensive coordinator, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Kubiak is viewed as a bright, young coach in NFL circles, but his future with New Orleans was uncertain as the Saints plan to bring in a new coaching staff. The 37-year-old has coaching experience in college and the pros, including stints as an NFL offensive coordinator with the Vikings and Saints. He has also held positions with the Broncos and 49ers. Kubiak, who also interviewed with the Browns this offseason before they hired Tommy Rees, was the Seahawks' top choice to replace Ryan Grubb, according to Rapoport. The search and hiring process was reportedly "exhaustive," but in the end, Mike Macdonald makes a key addition to his staff.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught 11 of his 16 targets for 104 yards during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Ertz's 16 targets were the most on the team and nine more than the top wideout, Terry McLaurin. With the Commanders losing throughout most of the game, they relied on their passing attack to attempt to keep up with the Eagles. The veteran tight end was Jayden Daniels' go-to option all afternoon, especially on fourth downs. Last weekend, during their upset victory over the Detroit Lions, Ertz caught all five of his targets for 28 yards and a score. Throughout his debut season in Washington, Ertz was a key weapon in the Washington pass attack. Across 17 regular season contests, the 34-year-old tallied 654 yards and seven scores on 66 receptions.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied just 36 yards on 11 rushing attempts in the NFC title game. The Commanders played from behind throughout the game as the Eagles got out to an early lead. As a result, this put Robinson out of the game plan. However, when given the ball, the Alabama product was ineffective, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry. Last weekend, Robinson tallied 77 yards and two scores on 15 carries in their upset victory over the Detroit Lions. After averaging a solid 64 rushing yards per game during his first 10 games, Robinson saw his production decline over the back half of the season. Over his final seven games of the 2024 season, Robinson eclipsed 60 rushing yards in just two games and scored just two touchdowns. Given his inconsistent production, the Commanders will likely address this position in the offseason.
