A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

A.J. Brown (knee/rest) was removed from the injury report and will play in the Divisional Round against the Rams.

Brown practiced in full on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday. The promising upgrade bodes positively for his involvement although his knee issue should not be overlooked. Brown’s presence makes life easier for the rest of the Eagles’ skill position players regardless of his productivity.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Dallas Goedert (illness) was removed from the injury report and will play in the Divisional Round against the Rams.

Goedert will be on-field for his typical contributor role. The veteran tight end has caught 4-of-6 targets in each of the last two games and can be expected to handle a similar workload against the Rams. He makes for a worthwhile DFS option.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (knee) is doubtful for the Divisional Round against the Bills.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters earlier today Flowers “has a chance” to play this week, though that appears to have been either a stretch of the truth or outright gamesmanship from the veteran coach. After not practicing at all this week, the doubtful tag all but guarantees Flowers will miss Sunday’s game. Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews will split the No. 1 duties, with Bateman working on deep routes and Andrews operating in the middle of the field. Isaiah Likely ran as the de facto WR3 last week and will do so again versus Buffalo. All three pass-catchers are strong fantasy options for the Divisional Round slate.
Mike Borgonzi

KC Assistant GM

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Titans “plan to try to hire” Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi for their general manager vacancy.

Other sources have reported it as a done deal. Schefter, on the other hand, says no contract offer has been made and the two sides “haven’t started negotiations yet.” Still, both sides want to get a deal done sooner rather than later, and we fully expect them to do so. Borgonzi has already had two interviews with the Titans and another with the Jets this offseason. He joined the Chiefs in 2009 as their administrator of college scouting and has worked his way up the corporate ladder ever since. Borgonzi was promoted to assistant general manager in 2021. Assuming the contract talks go smoothly, Borgonzi’s tenure in Tennessee will begin with a franchise-shaping decision via the No. 1 overall pick.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play in the Divisional Round against the Chiefs.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that the ankle issue isn’t major and Mixon has a “real chance” to play, so Schultz’s reporting all but guarantees Mixon will take the field on Saturday. The Texans added Mixon to the practice report on Wednesday and then downgraded him to a DNP on Thursday. He is officially questionable for Saturday’s game. The moves all seem to have been precautionary. Barring a setback, Mixon will face the Chiefs. Per Schultz, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, questionable with a knee injury, is also expected to play.
Byron Leftwich

FA Offensive Coordinator #4

CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports the Seahawks interviewed Byron Leftwich for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

Leftwich, who has been out of the league for two seasons, interviewed with the Patriots for their head coach opening earlier this month. Now, the former Buccaneers offensive coordinator could once again find himself calling plays, only this time for the Seahawks. Leftwich’s work with the Buccaneers from 2019-2022 resulted in a Super Bowl title during the 2020 season, and an offense that ranked in the top five in scoring in three of those four years. The Buccaneers’ offense bottomed out in Leftwich’s final season with the team, but it’s hard to overlook the decline in play we saw from Tom Brady in that final season. During his four years as Tampa Bay’s OC, the team ranked sixth in EPA per play and offensive success rate while boasting the third-highest early-down pass rate. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald seems to be looking for a coordinator who will steer the team in a more balanced approach. It seems unlikely that Leftwich would fit that mold, but it’s possible I’d be willing to change up his philosophy with Geno Smith under center and two solid backs in Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
Ray Davis

BUF Running Back #22

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Ray Davis remains in concussion protocol on Friday.

We’ll see if the team gives Davis additional time to clear protocol, but it’s not a great sign for the rookie’s availability as far as Sunday’s game against the Ravens is concerned. If the Bills don’t rule out Davis on Friday when they release their final injury report, they’ll presumably give him until Saturday to clear protocol before deciding on his availability. We’ll know more on this soon.
Darren Rizzi

NO Head Coach

ESPN’s Katherine Terrell reports the Saints will interview interim head coach Darren Rizzi for their head coaching vacancy on Friday.

Rizzi took over as the Saints interim head coach after Dennis Allen was fired following his 2-7 start. Rizzi’s Saints went 3-5 under his watch, which included wins over the Falcons and Browns in his first two games. Rizzi wasn’t given much to work with during his role as interim HC, as Derek Carr, Chris Olave, and Rashid Shaeed were sidelined for all or most of his eight weeks long tenure. Rizzi caught the eyes of Jets brass and interviewed for their head coaching job last week. It seems unlikely the Saints would hire Rizzi with so many “big-name” coaches available, but he’s a familiar face who has been with the organization since 2019, which could bear some weight in the decision-making process.
Josh McCown

MIN Coaching Staff #3

CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports the Jets will interview Vikings QB coach Josh McCown for their head coaching vacancy on Friday.

The Jets’ exhaustive coaching search continues, as McCown is set to be one of three candidates who will meet with the team on Friday. This isn’t the first time McCown’s name has been uttered in head coaching searches, although he may still be another year or two away from getting the call. McCown has never called plays as an NFL coach and has spent only two years as a coach in the league since retiring after the 2020 season. His impressive stint with the Vikings and Sam Darnold this season certainly warrants a deeper look at what he could offer a team that’s likely to have a new quarterback under center in 2025. Even if he doesn’t get a head coaching gig, McCown could be on several teams’ radars as an offensive coordinator.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Joe Mixon (ankle) has a “real chance” to play in Saturday’s AFC Divisional Round against the Chiefs.

Mixon suffered an ankle injury late in the week and was a DNP on Thursday. Officially listed as questionable, Rapoport reports it’s “not a major injury” Mixon is dealing with, so there’s a good chance Thursday’s DNP was out of precaution. If Mixon is unable to go, Dare Ogunbowale and Dameon Pierce would take over in his stead. His status will be worth checking in on when inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff, but it sounds as if he’s trending in the right direction.
