Josh Hill catches three passes in Saints’ playoff win.

Hill gained seven yards on his three receptions in the Divisional Round win against the Eagles. Hill will remain a secondary option for New Orleans in the NFC title game in one week.

Tarik Cohen handles four touches in loss to the Eagles.

Cohen rushed once for no gain and caught three passes for 27 yards. He also had a 35-yard kick return to help set up Chicago’s 43-yard field goal attempt as time expired, but it was missed in a 16-15 defeat. Coming off a 170-touch season in which he totaled 1,169 yards and eight touchdowns, Cohen will be a mid-round selection in all formats next summer, and his stock could even increase if Jordan Howard is traded.

C.J. Anderson leads Rams backfield in win over the Saints.

Anderson rushed 16 times for 44 yards, also adding a five-yard reception. Surprisingly, Todd Gurley handled just five touches in a 26-23 victory, as the recently-signed bowling ball of a backup ran hard against a stout front. Whether or not Gurley is 100% healthy for the Super Bowl, Anderson should remain heavily involved.

Mark Ingram gets 11 touches in playoff win versus the Eagles.

Ingram carried nine times for 53 yards along with two receptions for nine yards in the Saints’ Divisional Round win. The veteran running back had a long run of 36 yards in the victory, and he otherwise didn’t have much room to run against a solid run defense. Alvin Kamara will get most of the work in the New Orleans backfield in the NFC title game, but Ingram is obviously a key player that will get a good amount of work too.

The Jaguars have signed Thomas Rawls, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rawls, who spent his first three NFL seasons with the Seahawks, spent some time with the Jets and Bengals this season. The 2015 undrafted free agent is a very talented running back, and Jacksonville is a great spot for him given their uncertainty at the running back position because of Leonard Fournette’s situation. It’s not out of the question that Rawls could make a push for the starting job or at least a good amount of playing time in 2019, so he’s certainly worth a look as a pickup in dynasty leagues he’s been dropped in.

Alshon Jeffery leads the Eagles in receiving in playoff victory.

Jeffery caught six passes for 82 yards in the Wild Card Round win against his former Bears team. The big receiver made key catches throughout the game, including a first-down catch to give his team a new set of downs to set up a goal-to-go situation before the game-winning score. Jeffery nearly caught the potential game-winner on an out route, but then Golden Tate scored anyway to pick him up. Next week against the Saints will be a tough matchup for Jeffery in the Divisional Round, but Nick Foles will give him opportunities to make plays. Jeffery was held to 33 yards in his first matchup against New Orleans this season.

Kareem Hunt is expected to have a job “sooner rather than later,” according to ESPN.

Earlier today, it was reported that the NFL’s investigation of Hunt, which will almost certainly end with a suspension of some length, is expected to conclude before the start of the new league year in March. Now this ESPN report says that “multiple teams” are interested in signing the 23-year-old running back that led the NFL in rushing as a rookie in 2017. The Bears and head coach Matt Nagy, who was Hunt’s offensive coordinator last season, didn’t rule out signing the troubled running back, and other team are apparently interested too. It looks like Hunt is going to get a second chance, and it could happen soon, so if you feel comfortable having him on your roster in dynasty leagues, he’s worth a pickup if he’s been dropped.
