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.

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.

Dynasty | Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 25-of-39 passes for 283 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in a playoff loss to the Broncos. Dynasty Analysis: Philip Rivers, Dan Marino, and Matt Ryan are starting to be put on notice as Allen is starting to look like the best quarterback to have never won a Super Bowl at this point. It's an unfortunate turn of events again for Allen as he again tried to will his away to the big game despite Buffalo continuing to fail in their attempts to get him a legitimate WR1. Allen had another QB1 season and will again be a threat to be the overall QB1 in dynasty leagues next season but his ADP is going to start falling a touch now that he'll turn 30 in a few months.

Dynasty | Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman had a ten-yard touchdown catch in the Bills playoff loss to the Broncos. Dynasty Analysis: Unfortunately, that was his only reception. This puts a bow on a disappointing Sophomore season that featured just 38 catches for 404 yards and four scores in 13 regular season games. Coleman can't quite be labeled a bust just yet but he has been in and out of the doghouse a few times and failed to really make much of an impact thus far. Coleman is a hold in dynasty leagues but not a particularly exciting one.

Dynasty | Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown in a playoff win over Buffalo. Dynasty Analysis: Considering Mims came into the game with a 37/322/1 line on the season, this was quite the surprise. Pegged as a sleeper going into the year, Mims failed to produce a third-year breakout campaign, despite playing on a good team with an ascending quarterback. This was a nice game but hardly the performance we need to see to rely on him in upcoming drafts.

Dynasty | Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is out for the season with a broken ankle. Dynasty Analysis: The stunning development came after he threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns in an overtime win over the Bills, catapulting the Broncos into the AFC title game. It's a stunning turn of events as he apparently broke it the play before throwing a go-ahead touchdown pass to Marvin Mims. Nix will be out for the remainder of the playoffs and have surgery this week. This injury happened late but a broken bone likely won't have any impact on his availability for next season. As such, he'll remain a QB1 in dynasty leagues.

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.

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the New England Patriots. Marks had exited during the second quarter and was initially listed as questionable, but he returned to the game just a few minutes later. The Texans trailed by two possessions late in the second quarter, so they'll benefit from getting their No. 1 ball-carrier back as they look to mount a comeback. At the time of his departure, though, Marks had just seven rushing yards on eight carries, plus a six-yard reception. He and the Texans' offensive line will need to play better for the rushing attack to find more success in the final 30-plus minutes of game action.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (eye) is questionable to return in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans with an eye injury. Stevenson got poked in the eye during the second quarter and exited Sunday's game early. He is getting drops in his eye and could potentially return before the end of the first half. The 27-year-old rushed for 25 yards on three carries while catching one pass for nine yards before leaving. Look for TreVeyon Henderson and D'Ernest Johnson to see an uptick in carries with Stevenson out.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (calf) won't return in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game against the New England Patriots after suffering a calf injury. Schultz exited the first quarter with a calf issue and has been ruled out for the rest of the game. The 29-year-old caught two passes for 47 yards before leaving. Cade Stover and Harrison Bryant will handle tight end duties and will see an uptick in targets with Schultz sidelined. C.J. Stroud is already without top wideout Nico Collins (concussion) and will now be without his starting tight end. If the Texans advance to the AFC Championship versus the Denver Broncos, Schultz will have a week to recover, but is considered day-to-day for now.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (shoulder) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the New England Patriots. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had just seven rushing yards on eight carries, plus a six-yard reception. The rookie has dealt with a variety of minor injuries throughout the regular season and playoffs, and now, he's on the sideline again. Nick Chubb has taken over as Houston's primary running back in his absence, leading a backfield that also features Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks. The Texans will need more production from both their rushing attack and passing attack as they look to come back from an 11-point deficit late in the first half.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (calf) is questionable to return in Sunday's AFC Divisional Round game against the New England Patriots with a calf injury. Schultz headed to the locker room during the first quarter after being forced out of the game. He caught both of his targets for 47 yards before exiting early. Cade Stover and Harrison Bryant should see an uptick in targets and have an expanded role while Schultz is sidelined. Stay tuned for more updates.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton praised quarterback Jarrett Stidham on Sunday. Stidham is "very accurate, and has a lot to his ball," said Payton. Stidham will start in the AFC Championship game vs. either the New England Patriots or the Houston Texans after Bo Nix (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs due to a broken bone in his ankle. Stidham has been under Payton's offensive system for three years and has shown great strength and mental aptitude. The 29-year-old is a serviceable option for the Broncos with Nix out, but hasn't started a game since Week 18 of the 2023 season. Stidham would be a risky option in playoff leagues and a GPP play in DFS for Championship week, as he will face a brutal matchup against the Patriots or Texans, whichever team advances.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Pittsburgh Steelers are open to quarterback Aaron Rodgers returning to the team in 2026. "The Steelers players are more than open to Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh; they want the four-time league MVP back and conveyed as much to various members of the Steelers organization during their exit meetings last week," per Schefter. Although it was reported on Saturday that a reunion was unlikely because Mike Tomlin was leaving the Steelers after 19 seasons as Pittsburgh's head coach. However, despite Tomlin's resignation, Pittsburgh hasn't shut the door on Rodgers returning. The veteran quarterback will be a free agent in March and will decide to either retire or return for another year in 2026. In his first year with the Steelers, Rodgers led them to the playoffs and threw for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while rushing for 61 yards and one score through 16 games. Rodgers likely won't make a decision anytime soon. If he does decide to hang up his cleats, Rodgers will finish with 66,274 passing yards and 527 touchdown passes across 21 NFL seasons. Stay tuned.

Houston Texans running back Jawhar Jordan is a healthy inactive for the Divisional Round contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to the team's official website. Jordan suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Indianapolis Colts and didn't play in the Wild-Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. The 26-year-old returned to practice this week, though, and was eventually removed from Friday's final injury report. Jordan took over RB2 duties from veteran Nick Chubb late in the year, but Chubb will handle backup duties behind rookie Woody Marks in New England on Sunday. Chubb had double-digit carries (10) against the Steelers for the first time since Nov. 2, but a lot of his work came in garbage time in the second half in the 30-6 blowout win. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Chubb to handle much volume against the Pats.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that the team will need to get running back Zach Charbonnet's knee imaged, but they are "optimistic" that his knee is structurally intact, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Charbonnet injured his knee in the first half of the Divisional Round blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night and never returned. The 25-year-old ended up with only five carries for 20 yards and wasn't involved at all in the passing game. Kenneth Walker III saw an expanded backfield role in the 41-6 rout after Charbonnet's injury, and he finished with 19 carries for a season-high 116 yards and three touchdowns. He added three catches for 29 yards. Even though Charb's knee may be structurally sound, it doesn't mean he'll be available for the NFC Championship next weekend against either the Bears or Rams. Velus Jones Jr. had the second-most carries (six) behind Walker after Charbonnet's injury on Saturday.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has been playing some of the best football of his career lately, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Sunday's Divisional Round contest against the Houston Texans. Stevenson has scored double-digit fantasy points (full-PPR) in each of his last six games, re-establishing himself as the primary running back in New England. His last four games have been particularly dominant, as he has tallied 461 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns in that short window. His efficiency has been the most impressive part of his success, as Stevenson posted those absurd numbers while handling 13 or fewer touches in each of the four games. He should handle a similar workload on Sunday afternoon, but he'll admittedly face a tougher test in the form of the Houston Texans' elite defense. Houston's defense has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards and eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. We still believe that Stevenson's pure talent could allow him to overcome this difficult matchup, but managers should have lower expectations than they did in the last few weeks. As it stands, Stevenson ranks as the overall RB8 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for the Divisional Round, putting him one spot ahead of teammate TreVeyon Henderson.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has delivered frustrating results over the last 14 weeks. Between missing time due to injury and struggling to emerge as a top receiving threat, Odunze has been a letdown for fantasy managers who were originally intrigued about his upside. After all, it was hard not to be excited after he opened the season with 20 catches, 296 yards, and five touchdowns through his first four games. The second-year receiver is certainly talented, and his upside remains high going forward. However, managers and bettors will find it challenging to trust him during the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday, especially after he posted a modest line of two catches and 44 yards in the Wild Card Round. Odunze plays in a crowded offense that features Colston Loveland, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, all of whom have established themselves as more reliable options. It also doesn't help that Odunze is going up against the Rams, who ranked near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers but had the 10th-best defense in terms of scoring. Finally, Odunze is banged up coming into this game. He is listed as questionable but expected to play. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR10 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings for the Divisional Round.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams returned from a three-game injury absence last weekend, and he immediately made an impact with five catches for 72 yards on 13 targets and a 72% snap share. Adams continued to carve out a sizable role alongside superstar Puka Nacua. With that being said, the veteran receiver was held without a touchdown for his third consecutive game -- his longest streak without a trip to the end zone since the first half of the 2024 season. Adams is a major touchdown threat, as evidenced by his 14 touchdowns through the first 12 games of the 2025 regular season. As a result, we wouldn't be surprised to see him get back on the board with a score against the Bears on Sunday. After all, this matchup is incredibly enticing and should work in Adams' favor. The Bears have allowed the third-most touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Adams ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's Divisional Round fantasy rankings, putting him behind only Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who played on Saturday evening.
