  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Inactive Sunday

    Atwell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bears, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Atwell will take a seat after failing to record any stats while playing 15 offensive snaps in the team's wild-card win over the Panthers. The wide receiver had recorded just two catches on six targets for 28 yards over the Rams' final four regular-season contests and the first round of the postseason, so his absence won't carry much of an impact versus Chicago.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Active versus Rams

    Odunze (foot) is active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.

    Odunze was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough as well as Thursday's practice before being deemed a full participant in Friday's session and listed as questionable to face Los Angeles. The wideout returned from a five-game absence in this past Saturday's wild-card win over the Packers, en route to recording a 69 percent snap share and catching two of his six targets for 44 yards. With his active status this Sunday confirmed, Odunze is on track to maintain his key role in a Chicago WR corps that also features DJ Moore and Luther Burden. On the season, the 2024 first-rounder made his mark from a fantasy perspective by putting up a 44/661/6 receiving line on 90 targets over the course 12 regular-season outings.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Solid showing on five targets

    Kupp recorded five receptions on five targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

    Kupp was Sam Darnold's favorite target in the blowout win, and he led Seattle in targets, receptions and yards. He chipped in with long gains of 21, 15 and 11 yards, and posted his highest yardage total since Week 2. Kupp should have a decent chance to remain heavily involved in the NFC Championship Game, as Rashid Shaheed remains only a peripheral option and Seattle should be forced to the air more often than it was Saturday night.

  • 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: No catches in return

    Pearsall did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.

    Pearsall missed San Francisco's last two games with a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the season, though he managed to return after logging limited practices throughout the week. The 49ers seemingly made an effort to get him involved early with a target on the first play from scrimmage, though he ultimately wasn't prioritized in the offense. Pearsall was a popular breakout candidate in 2025, but the knee issue ultimately robbed him of the opportunity. If he is able to stay healthy heading into the 2026 season, he should still have the chance to be a priority in the offense.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Kicks off rout of 49ers

    Shaheed did not record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers. He added two rushes for 27 yards and two kick returns for 126 yards and a touchdown.

    Shaheed remained a non-factor in Seattle's passing game, though he still made a major impact in the team's blowout win. He returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to set off the rout and also chipped in with a 30-yard gain on an end-around late in the second quarter to help set up an additional score. Shaheed looks likely to remain in more of a gadget role in the NFC Championship Game, but he serves in a key role for the Seahawks.

  • 49ers' Jauan Jennings: Quiet to close campaign

    Jennings recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Saturday's divisional-round loss to the Seahawks.

    Jennings was predictably one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, though his stat line reflects San Francisco's inability to move the ball effectively in the loss. He did account for the team's longest play from scrimmage on a 19-yard catch and run to begin the second half, but he also had a key drop late in the third quarter on third down. While Jennings' season didn't end positively, he tallied a career-high nine touchdowns across 15 regular-season games.

  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Scores in blowout win

    Smith-Njigba recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers.

    The Seahawks held a commanding lead for nearly the entire game, leading to only 17 pass attempts. That resulted in a modest stat line for Smith-Njigba, though he did manage an impressive four-yard catch in the back corner of the end zone to put the team up 17-0 late in the first quarter. Seattle will very likely be pushed more in the NFC Championship Game, and Smith-Njigba will remain Sam Darnold's primary target.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Cashes in TD in postseason win

    Humphrey brought in two of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime divisional-round win over the Bills on Saturday.

    The veteran journeyman delivered with a 29-yard scoring grab just before halftime, his first touchdown since Week 15 and only his second since the start of a regular season he opened with the Giants. Humphrey is likely set for another modest complementary role in the upcoming AFC Championship Game matchup against either the Texans or Patriots, but he'll operate with Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback following Bo Nix's postseason-ending ankle fracture Saturday.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Comes alive at key juncture in win

    Sutton secured four of nine targets for 53 yards in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime divisional-round win over the Bills on Saturday.

    Sutton was held off the stat sheet for three-plus quarters, but he came alive on Denver's go-ahead fourth-quarter drive with catches of 11, 25 and six yards during the possession. Sutton added an 11-yard grab on the first drive of overtime before also drawing a key 17-yard pass-interference penalty on what would turn out to be the Broncos' game-winning drive. However, Sutton will now have to build quick chemistry with veteran backup Jarrett Stidham, who lines up to draw the start in an AFC Championship Game matchup against either the Texans or Patriots on Sunday, Jan. 25 due to Bo Nix having suffered a fractured ankle Saturday that will prevent the second-year signal-caller from playing again in the postseason.

  • Marvin Mims WR | DEN

    Broncos' Marvin Mims: Critical TD grab in playoff win

    Mims secured all eight targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime divisional-round win over the Bills on Saturday. He also returned two kickoffs for 50 yards.

    Mims led the Broncos in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon, while his impressive 26-yard over-the-shoulder touchdown grab with just under a minute remaining in regulation erased a 27-23 deficit. The third-year pro appeared to have injured his lower back on that play and remained down for a brief time afterward, but he was back on the field in overtime and drew a key 30-yard pass-interference penalty on Tre'Davious White that set up Wil Lutz's game-winning field goal. Mims figures to once again fill a key role in an AFC Championship Game matchup against either the Texans or Patriots on Sunday, Jan. 25, but he'll be catching passes from Jarrett Stidham after Bo Nix suffered a postseason-ending fractured ankle on the second-to-last play Saturday.
