Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

Packers WR Christian Watson is believed to have torn his right ACL and suffered additional damage to the leg, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Jaguars fired HC Doug Pederson, according to multiple reports. This one was a lock. It was frankly surprising that Pederson made it through the entire 2024 season. He went 9-8 in his first two years in Jacksonville before an ugly 4-13 season that saw the Jags rank in the bottom 10 in points, total yards, rushing yards, and passing yards. QB Trevor Lawrence did not make any noticeable strides under Pederson's tutelage and recorded his worst passer rating since his 2021 rookie campaign this past year. The Jaguars are retaining GM Trent Baalke. We'll see who he tabs as his next HC.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 23 times for 139 yards and three TDs while also catching all five of his targets for 31 yards and a TD. Gibbs ran wild on the Vikings defense to secure the top seed for the Lions in the playoffs. With RB David Montgomery's status still up in the air, Gibbs will be relied upon throughout the playoffs.

Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 21 of 29 passes for 148 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's win over Green Bay. Williams led the team to his second fourth-quarter comeback of the season.

Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 26 of 29 passes for 321 yards and four TDs, with another 47 yards on the ground, crushing the Chiefs' back-ups 38-0. Nix was masterful with his passing precision and decision-making, pushing the Broncos into the playoffs to face off against the Bills in the first round.

Rams RB Blake Corum broke his forearm in Week 18 and will miss the playoffs, HC Sean McVay said. The injury shouldn't have too big an impact on Corum's offseason. His absence leaves Ronnie Rivers as the Rams' No. 2 RB. Kyren Williams might handle 100% of the backfield touches this postseason. The Rams host the loser of Sunday night's Lions-Vikings game in Round 1.

Lions RB Craig Reynolds (back) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as questionable but is available to spell RB Jahmyr Gibbs tonight.

Rams RB Blake Corum is questionable to return to Week 18 with a forearm injury. He tallied 2 carries for 10 yards and 1 catch for 12 yards before departing.

The Patriots fired HC Jerod Mayo, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's one-and-done for Mayo, who was hand-picked by Bill Belichick to be his successor. New England went 4-13 in Mayo's lone season, finishing in the bottom 10 in both points scored and points allowed. The latter might have been Mayo's undoing considering his defensive background. We'll see who the Patriots tab as their next HC. It's an especially important hire for QB Drake Maye's fantasy value.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. caught seven of 11 targets for 103 yards in the Jaguars Week 18 loss to the Colts. He ends his rookie season catching 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 TDs.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo injured his left leg on the first drive of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game with knee and ankle injuries. We'll update Guerendo's status when we know more, but this looks like a serious injury.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's loss to the Bears that QB Jordan Love could have re-entered with his elbow injury. Green Bay opted to hold Love out, ultimately losing and finishing as the NFC's No. 7 seed. That'll send them to Philadelphia in Round 1. But it sounds like Love will be ready for that one.

Jets TE Tyler Conklin (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Try to avoid Conklin in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce are inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. RB Kareem Hunt is active but unlikely to play much, if at all.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the 49ers. That figures to mean more snaps for WR Zay Jones, but he should not be in fantasy lineups.

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle, hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently healthy enough to play in this meaningless game.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so the knee shouldn’t be a major issue. But Waddle is a shaky WR3 with QB Tyler Huntley under center.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He should play a full slate of snaps in this must-win game. QB Tyler Huntley is a downgrade from QB Tua Tagovailoa, but Hill posted a 9-105-0 line with Huntley last week.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. QB Tyler Huntley gets his second straight start and is on the radar in superflex leagues and DFS tournaments. He threw for 225 and a score last week, adding another 52 yards and a TD on the ground.

Packers QB Jordan Love injured his right elbow in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. Don't expect to see him back out there with Green Bay already in the postseason. We'll see if this injury might impact Love's availability for next week's playoff opener.
