  • DAL Running Back #23

    Rico Dowdle rushed 20 times for 87 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 5 win over the Steelers, adding 27 yards and a touchdown on two receptions.
    Dowdle had a relatively modest first half before erupting in the fourth quarter, most notably gaining 58 yards on the touchdown drive to start the final frame which culminated in a 22-yard touchdown reception. Even so, a fumble at the goal line after an athletic Superman dive from Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts almost cost the team the win, but quarterback Dak Prescott fell on the football to preserve a possession that would ultimately end in a game-winning score by wide receiver Jalen Tolbert. Dowdle could find the sledding tough against the Lions in Week 6.
  • FA Head Coach

    Jaguars fired head coach Doug Pederson after three seasons.
  • DEN Defensive Coordinator
    The Athletic’s Michael Silver reports the Jets and Bears have expressed interest in Broncos DC Vance Joseph for their head coaching vacancies.
    Joseph has long been rumored to make a return to the head coaching ranks ever since he was fired as the Broncos head coach at the end of the 2018 season. A strong stretch as the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator from 2020-2021 put his name back on the map, and after returning to Denver in 2023, Joseph needed just two seasons to turn a bottom five defense into a top five defense. There’s a good chance Joseph will generate more interest from teams as the coaching cycle begins to ramps up.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #83
    Jalen Nailor caught 3-of-4 targets for 53 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions.
    The 53 yards saw Nailor finish second on the team in receiving, with Justin Jefferson’s 54 just one yards ahead of him. The brutal outing drops the Vikings to the No. 5 seed and also sends them to a road playoff game against the Rams, one of only two teams to defeat the Vikings this season, in the Wildcard Round.
  • MIN Tight End #87
    T.J. Hockenson caught 2-of-8 targets for nine yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions.
    To be fair to Hockenson, the entire Minnesota offense struggled against one of the best defensive game plans we have seen from Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. The return of linebacker Alex Anzalone played a massive part in locking down Hockenson, who routinely found himself in coverage of the veteran tight end. The loss sends the Vikings to a road matchup with the Rams, one of only two teams to beat the Vikings this season, in the Wildcard Round.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #3
    Jordan Addison caught 1-of-6 targets for zero yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions.
    Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn put the clamps on the entire Minnesota offense, holding them to just 262 yards of total offense. Alpha wide receiver Justin Jefferson was notably erased from the game by Amik Robertson, who held Jefferson to zero second half receptions. Addison’s only reception came on a screen for no gain in the first half in a then-tight contest. Addison and the Vikings now prepare for a road matchup with the Rams in Wildcard Weekend next week.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    Tyreek Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill continued to play through a torn wrist ligament this season despite multiple doctors recommending Hill undergo surgery months ago.
    Rosenhaus shared the information on his weekly Sunday evening radio appearance after Hill told reporters that he would like to play elsewhere in 2025. Rosenhaus is likely attempting to save face for Hill following the veteran wide receiver’s impassioned talk with reporters by painting Hill as a player who remained steadfastly committed to his team. Whether it works remains to be seen and one wonders why Hill was allowed to play through what may have been a serious issue. This saga is not over. Stay tuned.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    Justin Jefferson caught 3-of-9 targets for 54 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions.
    Lions cornerback Amik Robertson was in Jefferson’s back pocket throughout the game, notably holding the alpha wide receiver without a catch after halftime on his way to a disappointing outing. The loss sends the Vikings to the No. 5 seed and to a road date with the Rams in the Wildcard Round, one of only two teams to defeat the Vikings this season (the Lions beat them twice). Jefferson did have 115 yards in that game, meaning fantasy gamers in playoff leagues can likely target Jefferson with confidence.
  • MIN Running Back #27
    Cam Akers rushed six times for 65 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions, adding four yards on two receptions.
    The highlight of the game for Akers was a 58-yard scamper at the beginning of the third quarter in a then 10-3 game. Akers started the second half with Aaron Jones remaining in the locker room for an undisclosed reason, failing to score on his next carry after the long run before giving way to Jones on the following play. Jones’ status could be something to monitor as the Vikings prepare for a road date with the Rams in the Wildcard Round.
  • MIN Running Back #33
    Aaron Jones rushed 10 times for 45 yards in the Vikings’ Week 18 loss to the Lions, adding 30 yards on five receptions.
    Jones remained in the locker room after the half for most of the team’s first drive, before returning to the field of play in the red zone. He would then depart after a vicious hit down the sideline before giving way to Cam Akers for good with the game out of hand late. The team never passed an injury update for the veteran running back, which could be something to monitor after the loss sends the Vikings to the NFC’s No. 5 seed and a road date with the Rams in the Wildcard Round next weekend.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    Sam Darnold completed 18-of-41 passes for 166 yards in the Vikings’ 31-9, Week 18 loss to the Lions, adding 10 yards on three carries.
    Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn had all the answers in this one, holding the Vikings to just 262 yards of total offense and nine points while placing Darnold in consistent duress. The Vikings managed just three points on three first half red zone drives, with two turnovers on downs seeing the team take a 10-3 deficit into the break. The second half was an entirely different story as the Lions completely clamped down on their opponent while scoring 21 points themselves, sending the Vikings into the Wildcard Round for a road date with the Rams, who were one of only two teams to beat the Vikings this season (lost twice to the Lions).
