Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. Love admitted Wednesday that he was still dealing with some soreness in his throwing elbow, but it looks like he progressed over the last two days. We'll look for further reports on that elbow. But, for now, it doesn't seem like it will be a significant factor on Sunday.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's Wild Card game vs. the Commanders. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday, so he's seemingly on track to play. Otton had a few big games in the middle of the season with WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out, but he averaged just 4.3 targets, 2.5 catches, and 36 yards across his last four games with Evans back.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (thigh, illness) is "good to go" for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Johnston is listed as questionable after only getting in limited practices on Tuesday and Thursday this week, but we're projecting him to play his normal role tomorrow. Johnston closed the season with a career-best 13-catch, 186-yard outing.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown told reporters Friday that he's ready to play Sunday against the Packers, despite the knee issue that has limited his practice time this week.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol, HC Nick Sirianni announced on Friday. Hurts will start Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Packers and should be a full-go. Green Bay ranks fourth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs and limited Hurts to 19.4 fantasy points back in Week 1. Hurts checks in just fourth in our Wild Card Round QB Rankings.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson had a second tear of his Achilles and underwent surgery yesterday. With only eight months until the start of the 2025 season, Watson's availability for 2025 is now in jeopardy.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's Wild Card game vs. the Packers. We'll see how Hurts is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. It's good news after he was limited on Wednesday and non-committal on his status for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Barring a setback, Love should be under center for that one.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion, illness) is off the final injury report for Saturday's Wild Card Game vs. the Steelers. He should be back in his usual passing-down role behind RB Derrick Henry. Hill averaged 3.2 carries and 3.6 targets in his 14 full games this season.
Texans WR John Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card Game vs. the Chargers. He put in a full practice on Thursday, so it'd be surprising if he didn't play. Metchie projects to run the second-most routes among Houston WRs this weekend, putting him in play as a cheap flier in DFS tournaments.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (thigh, illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans. He was limited on Tuesday with the thigh, sidelined on Wednesday with the illness, and then returned to a limited practice on Thursday. Johnston should be available this weekend, but check back around 3 pm ET on Saturday when we get the Chargers' inactives.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans. He got in three limited practices this week, so we're expecting him to play. RB Gus Edwards (knee) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Thursday. He looks like the healthier of the two RBs heading into this one. Dobbins remains the better fantasy bet, but this figures to be a split backfield on Saturday.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown will be held out of Thursday's practice as he deals with a knee issue. "The expectation is that A.J. Brown will play on Sunday, from what I understand," The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane writes. "The Eagles are limiting his workload so he’s as close to 100 percent as possible by Sunday." Brown has been on the injury report with a knee since Week 16, so this is seemingly something he's been dealing with. He played his usual allotment of snaps in Weeks 16 and 17 before sitting out the finale. We'll keep a close eye on Brown's status over the next few days, but we're tentatively not expecting this to impact his outlook for Sunday's game vs. the Packers.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is out for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Steelers. It's a big loss for Baltimore. Flowers led the team in targets (24.3% of the total), receptions (23.3%), and receiving yards (25.3%) during the regular season. His absence this weekend figures to mean more playing time for WRs Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace. But we expect Baltimore to go heavy on 2-TE sets with Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. Those two, plus WR Rashod Bateman, are the team's best target bets.
Bengals rookie WR Jermaine Burton has been accused of assault by a woman he was dating, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Police say she reported the assault on the morning of Dec. 30 but refused to press charges. The Bengals decided later that week to keep Burton from traveling with the team to its game in Pittsburgh. They said only that it was a coach decision.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) stopped short of guaranteeing that he'll play vs. the Eagles this weekend. “We’ll see. Yeah. I’m hopeful," Love said after Wednesday's practice. He added that his right hand is back to normal but that he still has soreness in his right elbow. He plans to wait until later in the week to "cut loose." We'd be surprised if Love missed Sunday's game, but the elbow might be a factor.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, left finger) was limited in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear exactly where he is in the concussion protocol, but the limited practice means he's at least made some progress. We're expecting Hurts to play against the Packers on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was able to throw, HC Matt LaFleur said. An injury to a QB's throwing elbow is always worth keeping a close eye on, but it doesn't look like this will keep Love from playing against the Eagles on Sunday.
Bills WR Amari Cooper is back with the team, HC Sean McDermott said Wednesday. Cooper missed Week 18 for a personal matter but should play against the Broncos on Sunday. See where Cooper sits in the Wild Card Round Rankings.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls him a "long shot" to play vs. the Steelers on Saturday night. Fantasy players should be working under the assumption that Flowers misses at least Round 1 of the playoffs.
