Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (finger) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Stafford picked up a sprained finger in last week's win, but he'll be a full go in a blustery road game against the Bears. His finger and the expected weather should temper expectations, but Stafford's multi-touchdown upside always makes him viable in fantasy. |

| Footballguys view: Back-to-back full practices for Henry signal that he should play Sunday without any limitations. Henry has displayed a strong connection with Drake Maye near the end zone this year, keeping him in consideration as one of the week's top tight ends. |

| Footballguys view: A huge blow for the Texans, they'll be without their top pass-catcher in a road bout against the Patriots. In his absence, expect Christian Kirk to operate as the team's top target. Jayden Higgins and Dalton Schultz should also see expanded roles. |

Bears | DJ Moore on track to play Fri Jan 16, 02:34 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Moore has had some big games this year, but his production has been sporadic. He'll get the occasional gadgety play, and those might be more abundant this week, given the expected inclement weather. Moore will likely fall behind Colston Loveland and Luther Burden in total targets, but he's got a chance to find the end zone. |

Bears | Rome Odunze listed as questionable Fri Jan 16, 02:32 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 16, but is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has played through a pained fracture in his foot for the better part of this season. He gutted it out last week, and he's expected to give it a go again this week. However, considering his production since the injury, it's really hard to trust him outside of desperate scenarios. |

Raiders | Ashton Jeanty did some heavy lifting Thu Jan 15, 08:59 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty gained 863 of his 975 rushing yards after contact in 2025.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders did not do a great job of opening holes for Jeanty. He did a lot of the work on his own, and Jeanty showed why the Raiders selected him in the top 10. Jeanty is a low-end RB1 for Fantasy GMs in 2026, but we'd feel better about him if we knew the quarterback situation. |

Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland's 597 receiving yards from Week 9 onward were the second most among all tight ends, trailing only Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride.
| Footballguys view: Loveland had a strong finish to his rookie year. He's one of the best young tight ends in the game, and his play has helped the Bears win a ton of games. We're excited for him in the rest of the playoffs and in 2026's regular season. Loveland should be considered a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in the summer. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes hopes to be ready for opener Thu Jan 15, 07:37 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) said the rehab from his torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament is going great and that his goal is to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: It's a bit 'pie in the sky' to think Mahomes could be ready that soon, but stranger things have happened. Mahomes is working hard to get back on the field, but the Chiefs are going to be super cautious with their superstar quarterback along the way. In fact, we may not see him much if at all in the preseason. When training camp rolls around in late July, we'll have a better idea about his status for Week 1. |
