Unlike his team, Etienne got to end a rebound season on a high note with over 100 yards from scrimmage and a score. He finished the regular season with 260 carries for 1,107 yards and seven scores. Etienne also juiced the fantasy numbers with six touchdowns through the air. He was the focal point of first-year head Liam Coen’s ground game and a crucial piece of the passing attack. Etienne is an unrestricted free agent, but it wouldn’t surprise anyone if the Jags make it a point to keep him i ...11 January 2026
The same is reportedly true of the Falcons. Evero has been on something of a three-year journey in Carolina, overseeing a strong unit in 2023, a disastrous one in 2024, and respectable one in 2025. We would consider him a long shot for either opening, but he’s clearly a name getting around in league circles. He also interviewed for openings following 2023. Evero turned 45 earlier this month.11 January 2026
With Parker Washington erupting for over 100 yards plus a score and Brian Thomas Jr. getting a touchdown of his own, there simply wans’t room in the struggling Jags’ passing game for Meyers to do much. Acquired midseason by Jacksonville, Meyers was brought in to backfill Travis Hunter’s role as a short and intermediate target for Trevor Lawrence. Meyers caught at least four passes in all but one of his nine regular season games with the Jags. The only miss was in his Jacksonville debut. He ...11 January 2026
Washington had been pulling away as the Jags’ No. 1 receiver leading into the postseason. He may now carry that status into 2026 after more than doubling up the team’s No. 2 wideout by targets in this game. That was despite missing some time for a concussion evaluation. Including the postseason, Washington topped 100 yards in three of his final four games. He was barely involved in the offense early in the season, but injuries to several key players, namely Travis Hunter, elevated him to a s ...

After transforming into one of the league’s best quarterbacks over the second half of the regular season, Lawrence turned back into a pumpkin on the biggest stage. Though he did score three times, his two interceptions were both on him. The second pick was a throw into tight coverage on the Jags’ final drive that was tipped and made its way into the hands of Bills safety Cole Bishop, ending the game. It’s a nightmare ending to an otherwise triumphant season for the franchise. Lawrence’s ...11 January 2026
Facing a stout Jacksonville run defense, the Bills chipped away at the Jags with check-downs and screens to Shakir. His 12 catches in this game are three more than his previous career-high. No one on the team other than Shakir logged more than five targets. All in, Shakir earned a 34 percent target share. With Josh Palmer on IR and Gabe Davis now banged up, expect to see plenty more of Shakir in the Divisional Round. He will be a strong play on full PPR sites.11 January 2026
The passing game wans’t always lively for the Bills, but, per usual, Allen came up big when it mattered most. His longest completion of the day by air distance was a 36-yard strike off his back foot to Brandin Cooks. The absurd toss late in the fourth quarter eventually set up his second rushing touchdown of the day. Allen took a beating in this game. He was checked for a concussion early, hit his throwing hand on a lineman’s helmet shortly after that, and even had his leg rolled up at one p ...11 January 2026
Hafley is up to five head coaching interviews now. The Falcons, Cardinals, and Titans have also requested interviews with him. Hafley has held his current position in Green Bay for two seasons. The Packers ranked 11th in points allowed this year and sixth in 2024. He was Boston College’s head coach before joining the Packers.11 January 2026
LaFleur was fired by the Jets in the midst of a dreadful 2022 season. He landed on his feet in LA and immediately oversaw a top-10 scoring offense. Things went even better in 2025. The Rams led the league in scoring this year and Matthew Stafford will likely win his first career MVP. LaFleur is well-connected with a strong resume behind him and hasn’t gotten his shot at a head coaching gig yet. In a relatively weak hiring cycle, this could be his year.11 January 2026
Davis was crushed by multiple defenders while trying to bring down a pass from Josh Allen over the middle of the field. He was unable to put weight on his left and needed to be helped off by trainers before being carted to the locker room. With Josh Palmer on IR, the Bills are dangerously thin at receiver.11 January 2026
Pearsall was listed as questionable on Friday but did not practice once this week, meaning he was always a long-shot to suit up. Demarcus Robinson will continue to operate as the team’s No. 2 receiver opposite Jauan Jennings this week.11 January 2026
The Eagles have been optimistic that Johnson would return from the foot issue next week for over a month. It seems like the injury isn’t progressing as Johnson or the team had anticipated. Fred Johnson will remain in the starting lineup in place of Lane.11 January 2026
Poyer went down with the hamstring issue in the second quarter. He was listed as questionable to return but the team eventually ruled him out after halftime. The Bills’ secondary will be undermanned for the rest of the game.11 January 2026
Getting Williams back for this game is a huge win for Brock Purdy and the San Francisco offense. He was listed as questionable on Friday after a light week of practice. Ricky Pearsall, on the other hand, is out for the Wild Card Round.11 January 2026
Shavers left in the second quarter with the knee issue. He went to the locker room and the team listed him as questionable to return. Shavers was back on the field coming out of halftime, giving the Bills some extra receiver depth for the final two quarters.11 January 2026
Per Schefter, Ekwonu will undergo surgery and his availability for Week 1 of the 2026 season is in doubt. It’s a brutal end to the season for him and the Panthers. Now Carolina will likely have to spend a bit more on a backup tackle in the offseason. Pro Football Focus has Ekwonu graded as a top-40 tackle this year. He had just one year left on his contract and was likely eying an extension in the spring. Ekwonu might be forced to wait until next year to ink a new deal.11 January 2026
Washington left for the locker room in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. He missed time spanning multiple drives but did eventually return. Brian Thomas Jr. caught a short touchdown pass in his absence.11 January 2026
Shavers injured his left knee while on punt coverage in the second quarter. He quickly left for the locker room and was listed as questionable to return. With Josh Palmer now on IR, the Bills would be forced to lean on Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, and Brandin Cooks for wide receiver snaps if Shavers is done for the day. Bills S Jordan Poyer (hamstring) is also questionable to return.11 January 2026
Washington left the game in the first quarter for the concussion evaluation. He was quickly taken to the locker room after getting shaken up. Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. would be asked to step up if Washington cannot return.11 January 2026
Johnson suffered the ankle injury in the Bills’ final game of the regular season. He only practiced once this week before being listed as questionable. Ray Davis will see more work in his absence. James Cook could also be used more on passing plays, upping his fantasy value for Sunday’s DFS slate. Kicker Matt Prater is active.
