New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is dealing with a back injury and his status for this week’s clash against the Buccaneers is unclear. Nevertheless, if the tight end can ultimately suit up, he does hold fantasy value. Dating back to the regular season, Cook has seen at least four targets and gotten at least 40 yards in the past three games. In two

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a risky play this week against the Bucs in the Divisional Round. In the wild-card game last week, the wideout managed only two receptions for three yards on three targets. Overall, Sanders has had a lackluster 2020 season in terms of production, as he has gone hot and cold with his weekly production. Though the Bucs allow

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas pencils in as a solid WR1 this week against Tampa in the Divisional Round. Last week, Thomas put up five receptions for 73 yards and a score against a solid Bears secondary and looked much more like his All-Pro self from the 2019 season when he finished as the No. 1 fantasy wideout than he did for most

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week in the Divisional Round. Kamara finished with 23 carries for 99 yards and a score last week against a tough Bears Defense and has been sensational for the most part during the 2020 season. In two games against the Bucs in the regular season, the RB finished

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a low-end QB1 against the Buccaneers this week in the Divisional Round. Brees was decent against the Bears in the wild-card game last week, tossing for 265 yards and two scores. Overall, the QB has been decent overall since returning from broken ribs and a lung injury in Week 15 of the regular season. He has tossed for

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will try and carry his fantastic regular season into the playoffs against the Rams on Saturday. Tonyan posted 52 receptions for 586 yards but led all tight ends this season with 11 touchdowns. He will now go up against a Rams Defense that is allowing the ninth fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. The Rams have allowed

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling will go up against a Rams Defense this Saturday that allowed the fewest fantasy points to receivers during the regular season. Valdes-Scantling has been feast-or-famine this season, posting 15-plus fantasy points five times this season but also posting less than one fantasy point in four different games. Valdes-Scantling finished the year with 33 catches for 690 yards and

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (core, wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday heading into the team’s playoff matchup against the Rams on Saturday. Lazard got off to a strong start this season, but injuries dragged down his production, as he caught only 33 passes for 451 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season. If Lazard can suit up, he will face

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will go up against a talented Rams secondary on Saturday in the NFC Divisional Round. The Rams secondary allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this season and have held the position to only seven touchdowns all season. The matchup is stiff but enter Adams, who has been the most dynamic receiver in fantasy football this season.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face a Rams Defense this Saturday that allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs during the regular season. The Packers air attack made plenty of headlines this season but Jones, once again, enjoyed an excellent season. Jones posted 1,459 total yards from scrimmage with 11 touchdowns and, maybe most impressively, averaged over five yards

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will try and lead his team to the Super Bowl, beginning Saturday against the Rams in the Divisional Round. Rodgers is on the short list for MVP this season, tossing a career-high 48 touchdowns and throwing for 4,299 yards while completing 70.7% of his passes. The veteran passer had an astounding 12 games with three or more touchdowns this

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith (ankle) was designated for a return on Wednesday, but he remains on Injured Reserve. Smith last played in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs, but he could be taken off IR and be eligible to play in the Divisional Round against the Buccaneers on Sunday night. That could be bad news for Deonte Harris, who saw an

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Hill touched the ball just seven times in the wild-card win over the Bears, and his knee injury likely had something to do with that. The 30-year-old Swiss Army Knife carried the ball four times for 15 yards and caught two passes for just five yards last Sunday. On his lone

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (back), offensive tackle Terron Armstead (elbow) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Cook should play against the Buccaneers on Sunday night in the Divisional Round. Hendrickson, who had a career-high 13.5 sacks this year, looks to be improving after missing last week’s wild-card win over the Bears. His

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (back) and linebacker Matt Judon (illness) remain out of practice on Wednesday for the second straight day. Both players will need to get in at least a limited practice on Thursday to have a shot at suiting up for the Divisional Round matchup against the Bills on Saturday night. Baltimore’s defense will need all the healthy bodies they can get

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday after being sidelined on Tuesday with a hand injury. Bass should be fine to kick against the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round on Saturday night after he connected on both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra points in the wild-card win over the Colts. The 23-year-old rookie has been

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) and quarterback John Wolford (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday. Kupp also sat out of the walk-through on Tuesday. He’s reportedly just dealing with bursitis in his knee, but it’s something to watch as we approach Saturday’s Divisional Round contest against the Packers. He’ll need to get in at least a limited practice on Thursday for fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (hip, quadriceps) and cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) were limited in practice Wednesday. Edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice. Barring any setbacks, Evans and Godwin should be good to go against the Saints in the Divisional Round on Sunday night. Evans had six catches (10 targets) for his fifth 100-yard game of the

The Baltimore Ravens Defense doesn’t plan to change their blitz-heavy approach against Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the Divisional Round matchup this Saturday night. Allen was among the best QBs at handling pressure in 2020, with the Ravens having blitzed an NFL-high 41 percent of the time this season. Allen has thrown a league-leading 19 touchdowns against pressure this year. The 24-year-old signal-caller was

The Green Bay Packers placed recently signed offensive tackle Jared Veldheer on the Reserve/COVID-19 list due to a positive test for the virus. It means that Veldheer will not make history (at least not yet) and become the first player in NFL history to play for two different teams in the same postseason. The 33-year-old offensive lineman played for the Colts in their wild-card loss
