Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams carried the ball 13 times for 57 yards and added 18 receiving yards and a touchdown on two receptions in the 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. Williams saw a decreased workload this season as second-year back Blake Corum emerged, but he has been a factor in the receiving game more than in the past. The fourth-year back recorded his most receiving yards and receptions of his career, and that receiving production helped the Rams take down the Panthers in the Wild Card Round. He faces a Chicago Bears defense that has ranked middle-of-the-pack against running backs this season, despite allowing the fourth-most total yards of offense. In what should be a high-scoring game, Williams profiles as a top-three option at the running back position and could be a huge factor in the receiving game once again.

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland went nuclear in the Wild Card Round, hauling in eight of 15 targets for 137 yards in the 31-27 win over the Green Bay Packers. Loveland was disappointing early in the season, ranking as the TE50 through the first eight weeks. The 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has ranked as the TE2 since Week 9, trailing only Trey McBride, and has fully cemented himself as a top option at the position in the divisional round. He faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that has ranked in the middle of the pack against tight ends this season. The Bears have a crowded receiver room, including Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Luther Burden III, but Loveland's connection with quarterback Caleb Williams stands out, and the rookie tight end is a strong option against the Rams.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson hauled in two of three targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in the 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers. Parkinson was quiet for most of the game, but he reeled in the game-winning 19-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford, sending the Rams to the divisional round. Despite joining a mess of a tight end room this offseason, the former Seahawk has stepped up in a major way this season, scoring nine touchdowns in 16 games. He faces a Chicago Bears defense that has ranked middle-of-the-pack against tight ends this season, despite being close to the bottom in total yards allowed. With only eight teams left and star tight ends injured among those teams, Parkinson ranks as one of the top options at the position this week.

Updating previous reports, former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is finalizing a five-year deal with the New York Giants Thursday, Jan. 15. Harbaugh has accepted the head coaching position, and the deal would make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.

From TheHuddle

Former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is expected to agree to terms on a contract to become the new head coach of the New York Giants in the coming days, according to multiple sources via ESPN's Adam Schefter. Per Schefter, the deal is not final and 'there still is a lot to work through' before a deal is struck.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) was not listed on this week's injury report and appears to be on track to return for the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Sunday against the hosting Chicago Bears, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. The 25-year-old has recovered nicely from his knee injury, but he won't be a recommended fantasy football play in postseason leagues with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams soaking up most of the targets. Whittington had only 18 receptions the entire regular season on 25 targets for 171 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games. He's too far buried on L.A.'s WR depth chart.

Seattle Seahawks LB Ernest Jones (illness) and OT Joshua Jones (knee) did not participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. OT Charles Cross (hamstring, knee), LB Tyrice Knight (shoulder) and CB Riq Woolen (oblique) were limited during practice. TE Elijah Arroyo (knee), TE AJ Barner (hip), S Coby Bryant (knee), LB DeMarcus Lawrence (Achilles), WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury), LB Chazz Surratt (ankle) and DE Leonard Williams (non-injury) fully participated in practice.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as limited for the walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Odunze missed the final five weeks of the regular season due to a stress fracture in his foot. The 23-year-old returned for the Wild-Card round of the playoffs in the win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers, though, and played 69% of the offensive snaps while securing only two catches on six targets for 44 yards. Odunze was a disappointment for any fantasy managers that rolled with him, but he could have a bigger role in his second game back this Sunday in a Divisional Round matchup against a Los Angeles Rams defense that gave up the 11th-most half-PPR points to WRs during the regular season. Still, Odunze will be a pretty shaky low-end WR option for fantasy playoff lineups since he hasn't really done much since early in the 2025 season.

Los Angeles Rams rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) was a full participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Daily News' Adam Grosbard. A hamstring injury kept Ferguson from playing in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. Now that the 22-year-old is practicing in full again, though, he should be ready to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round. For fantasy purposes, managers should be looking in another direction. Ferguson scored in each of his last two games, but that was before Tyler Higbee returned from Injured Reserve. The Rams also have Colby Parkinson, who has been involved since Higbee's return. Ferguson had only 11 catches during the regular season and will most likely struggle to produce this weekend.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) was listed as a limited participant during the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Moore was also listed on last week's injury report due to a knee injury, but he was eventually removed and caught six of a season-high seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Wild-Card win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The 28-year-old also led the team's WRs with an 86% snap share. It was a bit of a surprise with Rome Odunze returning from a foot injury that kept him out of the final five regular-season games. Moore and the Bears will face a Los Angeles Rams defense in the Divisional Round that has had trouble slowing down opposing offenses in recent weeks, and they gave up the 11th-most half-PPR points to opposing wideouts during the regular season. However, Moore's role could shrink with Odunze another week removed from his foot injury.

Los Angeles Rams CB Darious Williams (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. OG Kevin Dotson (ankle) and DT Poona Ford (elbow) were limited during practice. QB Matthew Stafford (finger), WR Xavier Smith (wrist), CB Josh Wallace (ankle), TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) and S Quentin Lake (foot) fully participated in practice.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (finger) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Stafford sprained his right index finger in the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday, but the Rams were never concerned about his availability for the Divisional Round this Sunday versus the Chicago Bears. In the win over the Panthers, Stafford went 24-for-42 passing for 304 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The 37-year-old veteran is the favorite to win the NFL MVP this year after throwing for a league-high 4,707 yards, a league-high 46 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions in 17 regular-season games. His finger injury shouldn't be an issue this weekend in Chicago against a Bears defense that allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to QBs. Stafford is the top QB on the board in fantasy this week.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (finger) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. The Rams only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Stafford suffered the injury during the Wild Card game, but it appears like he will not have any limitations against the Chicago Bears. He has been one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL this season and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues this week.

San Francisco 49ers S Ji'Ayir Brown (hamstring) and LB Luke Gifford (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), WR Ricky Pearsall (knee), OG Dominick Puni (ankle), LB Fred Warner (ankle), DE Keion White (groin, hamstring) and LB Dee Winters (ankle) were limited during practice. WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and OT Trent Williams (hamstring) fully participated in practice.

Houston Texans wide receiver Justin Watson (concussion) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in Monday night's Wild-Card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. On a short week, Watson should probably be considered doubtful to be available in the Divisional Round on Sunday against the hosting New England Patriots. The 29-year-old pass-catcher only played in three games in 2025 in his first year in Houston due to injuries, catching three of four targets for 30 yards. Watson wasn't targeted on Monday night before his head injury. In addition to Watson, Texans' top wideout Nico Collins is in the league's concussion protocol and therefore up in the air to play on Sunday. If both Watson and Collins cannot play, there would be more opportunities in the passing game for rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, Christian Kirk, and Xavier Hutchinson.

Houston Texans running back Jawhar Jordan (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant, according to the team. Jordan suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Indianapolis Colts and didn't play in Monday night's Wild-Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old second-year back being back at practice this week is good news, but it doesn't guarantee that he'll be active as backfield depth for the Divisional Round on Sunday in New England against the Patriots. Even if Jordan were to continue progressing and play this weekend, he wouldn't be a suggested fantasy football lineup option in the RB2 role behind rookie Woody Marks for the Texans. Jordan had only 43 carries during the regular season for 193 yards and no touchdowns on the ground. He added 34 receiving yards.

Chicago Bears CB Nick McCloud (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. WR DJ Moore (knee), WR Rome Odunze (foot) and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (back) were limited during practice. S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (concussion), OT Braxton Jones (knee), LB Amen Ogbongbemiga (concussion) and DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (concussion) fully participated in practice. The Bears only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is on this week's injury report and was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to the team. A limited showing early in the week means that Henry should be fine to play on Sunday in the Divisional Round versus the Houston Texans, but we'll keep a close eye on his status going into the weekend. If the 31-year-old veteran is active against the top defense in the league this weekend, he'll be considered a midrange fantasy football option at the TE position. Henry was tied for 13th among tight ends during the regular season with 8.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game, but his stock has been on the rise, as he's found paydirt three times in the last four games while clearing 50 receiving yards twice. Houston allowed 775 receiving yards to TEs this year, the seventh-fewest in the league.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 14. The Bears only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Moore is coming off a productive playoff game last week and should see a good amount of targets in the Divisional Round playoff game if he plays. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (concussion), OT Trent Brown (ankle), WR Justin Watson (concussion) and DE Denico Autry (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 14.

S Jaylen Reed (knee), LS Austin Brinkman (knee) and OT Aireontae Ersery (thumb) fully participated in practice.
