Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Lamar Jackson completed 18-of-25 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, rushed six times for 39 yards and lost one fumble in the Ravens’ 25-27, AFC Divisional Round loss to the Bills.

Jackson finished as the overall QB1 in fantasy scoring (434.4 points) by completing 316-of-474 passes for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and two interceptions. His 8.8 yards per passing attempt leads all NFL quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks. Jackson unsurprisingly thrived on the ground as well, rushing 139 times for a position-high 915 yards and four touchdowns. He likewise leads NFL quarterbacks in both missed tackles forced (45) and explosive run plays (37). Jackson’s 2025 outlook could be mildly impacted if offensive coordinator Todd Monken accepts a head coaching role elsewhere but the 28-year-old quarterback will not fall out of the elite QB1 tier. He remains a game-breaking player in both the NFL and fantasy football.
Josh Allen

BUF Quarterback #17

Josh Allen completed 16-of-22 passes for 127 yards and rushed 10 times for 20 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ 27-25, AFC Divisional Round win over the Ravens.

Allen was his typically unstoppable self in scoring position, barreling in for two rushing touchdowns from inside the Ravens’ five-yard line. He connected with eight different pass catchers, only truly relying on slot receiver Khalil Shakir, whose 34-yard first-quarter reception is nearly three times as long as the next closest Bills pass catcher. Allen faces Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next Sunday.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts (knee) said he expects to play in the NFC Championship against the Commanders.

When reporters asked how he felt physically post-game, Hurts alarmed reporters by saying that he “was able to finish the game. We’ll see how the week goes.” Hurts then clarified that he does expect to play next week, although it will be unsurprising if the Eagles let Hurts skip one or more practices to receive treatment. Hurts also stated that he suffered “just one [knee] injury,” against the Rams, meaning the training staff believes it is not a multi-ligament and/or multi-tissue issue. He declined to specify beyond that.
Matthew Stafford

LAR Quarterback #9

Matthew Stafford completed 26-of-44 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ 28-22 Divisional Round loss to the Eagles.

Stafford and the Rams nearly pulled off a late fourth-quarter comeback, but their two turnovers proved to be too much in the Divisional Round defeat. Stafford and the Rams entered 2024 with a mixed bag of expectations following the retirement of Aaron Donald and the offseason and an unproven defense that featured two rookie starers on the defensive side of the ball. Despite those questions, the Rams rallied from a 1-4 start to the year to go 9-3 in their final 12 games and win the NFC West. Stafford threw for 3762-20-8 on the year while completing 65.8 percent of his passes. While he continues to look like a shell of his former self, Stafford still proved capable of pulling off the big plays when needed — which was on display late in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. He turns 37 next month and is under contract through 2026, but Stafford has mulled retirement in the past. However, last offseason Stafford said that he thought he had “three or four” seasons left in him, so we’ll see how things play out in the coming months.
Saquon Barkley

PHI Running Back #26

Saquon Barkley ran 26 times for 205 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ Divisional Round win over the Rams, adding four receptions for 27 additional yards.

It was “business as usual” for Barkley, who was leaned on heavily in a game that featured snow conditions for most of the afternoon. Barkley broke off one of two signature long touchdown runs in the first quarter when he ran nearly untouched for a 62-yard score to give the Eagles a 13-7 lead. Barkley seemingly put the game on ice — no pun intended — late in the fourth quarter when his second long run went for a 78-yard score to put the Eagles up 28-15 with less than five minutes to play. The Rams would rally late, but Philly’s defense held firm to prevent the near comeback attempt. Barkley and the Eagles now prepare to play host to the Commanders in the NFC Championship game next Sunday. In two games against the Commanders, Barkley has totaled 348 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 57 touches.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts (knee) returned in the third quarter of the NFC Divisional Round against the Rams.

According to NBC’s Melissa Stark, Hurts was being evaluated for a knee injury after his leg was rolled up on following a sack late in the third quarter. He could be seen limping and sporting a brace, but after a brief evaluation, Hurts will attempt to play through the injury.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts exited in the third quarter of the NFC Divisional Round against the Rams with an apparent leg/ankle injury.

Hurts left leg got stuck under Kobie Turner after Turner sacked the Eagles’ QB1 late in the third quarter. Hurts was visibly limping after the play and made his way to the sideline one play later to be evaluated by trainers. Kenny Pickett was seen warming up on the sideline following a 44-yard field goal by Jake Elliott. We’ll have more on this injury soon.
Sam Cosmi

WAS Guard #76

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said RG Sam Cosmi suffered a torn ACL in Saturday’s win over the Lions and is out for the season.

Brutal. Lost in the sauce of Washington’s return to the NFC Championship Game was the early loss of Cosmi, who was confirmed to have suffered a torn ACL on Sunday. The fourth-year guard has been a staple along The Commanders’ offensive line, starting in 49-of-57 career games while appearing in all 17 regular season games in each of the last two seasons. Cosmi signed a four-year extension with the Commanders this offseason and will now look to rehab ahead of the 2025 campaign. There’s a good chance his recovery will stretch into the early portion of next season.
Kliff Kingsbury

WAS Offensive Coordinator

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys could add Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury to their head coaching search.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Kingsbury’s stock was already on the rise after he elevated the Commanders to a top-five offensive season and a 12-5 record in his first season as their play-caller. His performance in the NFC Divisional Round that saw the Commanders upset the No. 1 seeded Lions undoubtedly boosted his stock even more, with other teams still in the hunt for a head coach. Kingsbury wouldn’t be the first offensive-minded candidate the Cowboys have pursued this offseason, as they recently wrapped up an interview with former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who is expected to be in the running for Dallas’ head coaching vacancy for some time. Kingsbury also has requests from the Bears and Saints for interviews but has not met with either team at this time.
Lance Newmark

WAS Front Office

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Raiders will interview Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark for their general manager vacancy.

Newmark was hired as the Commanders’ assistant GM last season after spending the previous 26 seasons with the Lions in a number of capacities. The long-time NFL vet now has the Commanders within one game of the Super Bowl in his first season with the team, but also has close relationships with Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Both Johnson and Glenn are on the Raiders’ coaching search radar, but it’s Johnson who has been picking up significant steam in recent weeks. Newmark is scheduled to meet with the Raiders on Sunday, while Johnson is now free to meet with any team in person after the Lions were eliminated from postseason contention on Saturday night.
