Doug Baldwin caught three passes for 32 yards in Seattle’s loss to the Cowboys.

Baldwin made a great grab along the sidelines on a key fourth down in the second half, but he was mostly quiet besides that despite tying Tyler Lockett for the team-high in targets (six). This year was tough for Baldwin due to injury issues, but he ended up playing in 14 games altogether, and hopefully he can return to form with a full offseason to heal up. That said, the Stanford product already turns 31 next September, and Tyler Lockett has emerged as the team’s No. 1 receiver. There’s a good chance Baldwin is overdrafted in the summer.

Tyler Higbee caught two passes for 30 yards in Saturday night’s win over Dallas.

Higbee was utilized on a couple backside play-action passes, and he also did his usual work as a blocker for Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson. The 26-year-old will look to make an impact in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.

Sammy Watkins catches six passes in the Divisional Round.

Watkins caught six passes for 62 yards along with one carry for -2 yards and a fumble lost in the Chiefs’ playoff victory against the Colts. This was Watkins’ first game since the middle of November, as he missed the end of the regular season with a foot injury; it was good to see him get immediately involved, including with a 34-yard reception early in the game where he showed his explosiveness on a great catch-and-run. The dynamic receiver also had a nice one-handed grab while falling to the ground on a slightly off-target throw. Watkins played most of the snaps today, but he will hopefully be even closer to 100% for the AFC Championship Game next Sunday.

Austin Ekeler (groin) is officially listed as questionable for the Wild Card Round.

Ekeler was limited in practice this week, but he should be good to go for the Chargers against the Ravens this weekend. The explosive second-year running back’s official status will be known by around 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. If Ekeler is a surprise inactive, rookie Justin Jackson would step up behind star runner Melvin Gordon.

Melvin Gordon (ankle) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

This is great news after a slight scare in Week 17. The leg injury Gordon suffered against the Broncos apparently isn’t serious, and he should be ready to go for the Wild Card Round against the Ravens. We’ll let you know if anything changes, but expect LA to have their star difference-making running back this Sunday. Gordon is one of the best players in the postseason and will look to help lead the Chargers to their first Super Bowl win.

Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 65 yards in Saturday night’s win over the Cowboys.

He also rushed once for five yards. Cooks had a would-be touchdown overruled in the front corner of the end zone, but it didn’t end up costing Los Angeles in a 30-22 victory. The dynamic deep threat will look to get revenge against the Saints (his former team) or Eagles (for Super Bowl LII) next week in the NFC Championship Game.

Eric Ebron sees nine targets in Divisional Round loss.

Ebron caught five passes for 51 yards, but also struggled with at least a couple drops. The first of the drops would have been a third-down conversion on the game’s opening possession, but instead resulted in a punt and quick Kansas City touchdown drive. After that, Indy could never get going. Ebron scored 15 total touchdowns this season, but he is a prime regression candidate in 2019 and will likely be overvalued in fantasy drafts.
