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.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Dealing with knee injury
Charbonnet is questionable to return to Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers due to a knee injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Charbonnet was injured on a rush attempt midway through the second quarter and was able to walk off the field with the help of trainers. He was examined in the medical tent before walking to the locker room shortly before halftime. Prior to his exit, Charbonnet had recorded five carries for 20 yards.

Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Team-high catch total in loss
Shakir hauled in seven of nine targets for 75 yards in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday.
Shakir led the Bills in receptions and targets after having posted a 12-82-0 line in the wild-card win over the Jaguars. The veteran wideout also recorded a game-high 46-yard catch in an early fourth-quarter drive that culminated in a go-ahead 14-yard scoring strike to Dalton Kincaid. Shakir's highly productive postseason was preceded by a similarly busy regular season, one where he generated a 72-719-4 line on 95 targets, rushed once for five yards, lost his only fumble and recorded 124 punt-return yards across 16 games.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Finds end zone in playoff loss
Kincaid secured all six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday.
The talented tight end shook off some nagging knee and calf injuries to suit up and finish as the Bills' leader in receiving yards on the afternoon. Kincaid also contributed to Buffalo's comeback from what had been a 23-10 deficit by recording a 14-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Both Kincaid's reception and receiving yardage tallies were his highest since Week 9, while his scoring catch was his second in as many playoff games. Kincaid also put together a solid 2025 regular season during which he missed five games, generating a 39-571-5 line on 49 targets, with 13 of his catches going for 20-plus yards.

Jarrett Stidham QB | DEN
Broncos' Jarrett Stidham: Taking over as starter
Stidham will start in place of Bo Nix (ankle) in the AFC Championship Game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle in the final moments of Denver's divisional-round win over the Bills. He was able to finish the game, though his season is over. Stidham will now face either the Texans or the Patriots with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. He appeared in only one game this season and has not attempted a pass during the campaign.

RJ Harvey RB | DEN
Broncos' RJ Harvey: Makes mark as receiver
Harvey rushed six times for 20 yards and brought in five of six targets for 46 yards in the Broncos' 33-30 divisional-round overtime win over the Bills on Saturday.
Harvey wasn't given many opportunities to take advantage of what had been a vulnerable Bills run defense, with his carry total serving as his lowest since Week 10, when J.K. Dobbins (IR-foot) was still serving as the Broncos' lead back. However, Harvey did make an impact as a receiver, finishing with the second-most receptions and third-most receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Broncos. Harvey will next turn his attention to an AFC Championship Game matchup Sunday, Jan. 25 against either the Texans or Patriots, a game Denver will have to navigate without Bo Nix, who suffered a broken ankle in overtime Saturday.

Bo Nix QB | DEN
Broncos' Bo Nix: Season over due to ankle injury
Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle in Saturday's 33-30 overtime win against Buffalo and will not return during the postseason, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Nix led the Broncos to a thrilling overtime win over the Bills, completing 26 of his 46 passes for 279 yards to go along with three touchdowns. He suffered the injury on the second-to-last play of the game and is set for surgery Tuesday. Jarrett Stidham will now be tasked with trying to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl.

Bo Nix QB | DEN
Broncos' Bo Nix: Clutch performance in playoff win
Nix completed 26 of 46 passes for 279 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 12 rushes for 29 yards in the Broncos' 33-30 divisional-round overtime win over the Bills on Saturday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Nix garnered his first career playoff win in spectacular fashion, leading the Broncos through a rollercoaster afternoon against Josh Allen and a talented Bills squad. After helping stake Denver to a 20-10 halftime lead with the help of seven- and 29-yard touchdown tosses to Frank Crum and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Then, Nix answered after Allen and Buffalo turned a 23-10 second-half deficit to a 27-23 advantage, leading an eight-play, 73-yard march that he capped off with a beautifully thrown 26-yard scoring strike to Marvin Mims, one play after converting a third-and-4 with a six-yard scramble. Nix would subsequently spearhead a six-play game-winning drive in overtime that featured a 24-yard pass to RJ Harvey and a pair of critical pass-interference penalties versus the Bills on deep incompletions. Nix and the Broncos will now prepare to face off at home with the winner of Sunday's Texans-Patriots clash in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, Jan. 25.

James Cook RB | BUF
Bills' James Cook: Accrues 141 total yards in loss
Cook rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Bills' 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.
Cook put together an impressive day on the ground against an elite defense, finishing with his 10th 100-yard rushing performance since the start of the regular season and bouncing back in noteworthy fashion from his 46-yard effort versus the Jaguars in Sunday's wild-card victory. Cook's second-quarter lost fumble had a significant impact, however, as it came at the Broncos' 30-yard line and eventually led to a Denver touchdown. The disappointing team outcome aside, Cook's productive day Saturday was a fitting cap to a career-best regular season, one where he won the NFL rushing yardage title with 1,621 yards while averaging 5.2 yards per carry, scored 12 rushing touchdowns, and generated a 33-291-2 line on 40 targets while committing six fumbles, losing three, across 17 games.

Josh Allen QB | BUF
Bills' Josh Allen: Done in by turnovers in loss
Allen completed 25 of 39 passes for 283 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 12 times for 66 yards in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday. He also committed three fumbles, losing two and recovering the other.
While Allen put together a fantasy-friendly stat line from a yardage and touchdown perspective, his four turnovers naturally had a significant hand in the narrow and heartbreaking defeat. Allen connected with Mecole Hardman (four yards), Keon Coleman (10 yards) and Dalton Kincaid (14 yards) for his trio of scoring tosses, the latter two coming during an impressive second-half surge by Buffalo that saw the Bills erase a 23-10 deficit and take a 27-23 lead with just over four minutes remaining. Following a late Broncos touchdown, Allen then led an eight-play march that culminated in a game-tying field goal that pushed the game into overtime. However, Allen's second interception, which came when Ja'Quan McMillian took the ball from Brandin Cooks as both went to the ground after the latter appeared to have hauled in a beautifully thrown deep post, begat Denver's game-winning drive, while his two earlier lost fumbles each led to Broncos field goals as well. Following another January heartbreak for his team, Allen will focus on regrouping for another run in 2026 after having completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 3,668 yards with a 25:10 TD:INT, rushing 112 times for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns and committing seven fumbles, losing three, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
