Alfred Blue gets four touches in playoff loss to the Colts.

Blue carried two times for eight yards and caught two passes for 11 yards, working as the primary backup behind Lamar Miller. The Texans didn’t commit much to the running game after falling behind 21-0 in the first half, so Blue didn’t get much work in the game. Blue is set to become a free agent this offseason, and he could be an intriguing option for teams looking for a tough north-and-south runner with the ability to carry the load when called upon.

Phillip Dorsett scores in win over the Chargers.

Dorsett caught four passes for 41 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The former first-round pick continues to make plays when his number is called, and he will be an undervalued factor next weekend as New England attempts to make the Super Bowl for the third season in a row.

Mark Andrews caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers.

The rookie saw a team-high seven targets in a 23-17 defeat, and he clearly established himself as the team’s No. 1 tight end to close out the year. Andrews’ explosiveness likely gives him an advantage over 2018 first-rounder Hayden Hurst as a fantasy option to open the 2019 season, but he won’t be much more than a low-end TE2.

The Seahawks are signing Paxton Lynch, according to Ian Furness of Sports Radio KJR.

The 2016 first-round pick of the Broncos will look to develop in Seattle and might have a chance to compete for the backup job behind Russell Wilson in 2019. Lynch appeared in just five games in his two years with the Broncos, so it’s not like he’s had a ton of opportunities to prove himself on gameday in the NFL. The Memphis product will turn just 25 next month.

Jordan Wilkins rushed twice for nine yards in Saturday’s win over Houston.

Wilkins had a couple nice runs, but Marlon Mack (26 touches for 154 yards and one touchdown) dominated in the 21-7 victory. Indy will likely try to establish the run once again next week in Kansas City as they look to upset the Chiefs.

James White catches 15 passes in playoff victory.

White—who saw a team-high 17 targets—went for 97 yards, doing all his work as a receiver with zero carries. The effort was good enough to tie Darren Sproles for the most single-game receptions in the postseason, and the Chiefs better hope they have an answer for him next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

Travis Benjamin catches three passes in the Wild Card Round.

Benjamin gained 11 yards on his three receptions against the Ravens. The speedy receiver mostly worked as a target on quick swing passes against a stingy Baltimore defense, and the Patriots will also likely do a good job of limiting big plays from Benjamin in next weekend’s Divisional Round.
