Michael Gallup leads the Cowboys in receiving in the Divisional Round.

Gallup caught six passes for 119 yards in the playoff loss to the Rams. The rookie receiver did not catch a pass in the first half, but he caught fire in the final 30 minutes, including on a third-quarter drive when he caught four passes for 80 yards. His highlight came on that third-quarter drive when he had a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch for 44 yards after he got free behind the defense during a Dak Prescott scramble (and because Marcus Peters ran out of his zone responsibility). It might be tough to deliver consistent fantasy value in a run-heavy offense, but Gallup certainly has some upside opposite Amari Cooper in Dallas’ offense for 2019. He’s already shown the ability to make plays down the field for Prescott and should have his quarterback’s trust heading into the offseason.

T.Y. Hilton scores in playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Hilton caught four passes for 60 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown. The Colts struggled to do much of anything on Saturday, but a fourth quarter score at least made it 24-13 before Kansas City sealed it with a score of their own. T.Y. was clearly less than 100% down the stretch as he dealt with an ankle injury, but he should be fully healthy well before training camp. Hilton will likely be undervalued as a high-upside WR1 in fantasy drafts over the summer.

Melvin Gordon leaves playoff game with apparent knee injury.

On a goal-line carry against the Ravens, Gordon was stretching out his left knee after taking a hit there  and then tried to walk it off before going to the ground with the injury. This is not the knee that forced Gordon to miss three games toward the end of the regular season, but this still obviously isn’t a great sign as the star running back limps to the locker room. Hopefully Gordon is able to return to the game, but it’ll be Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson filling in during his absence.

Noah Brown catches one pass in Cowboys’ playoff victory.

Brown gained six yards on his lone reception in the Wild Card Round win over Seattle. The Ohio State product was also targeted on a corner route that likely would’ve been a touchdown on an accurate throw, but it was slightly underthrown by Dak Prescott and intercepted on a nice play by K.J. Wright. Brown will continue getting time on offense in the Divisional Round next weekend.

Todd Gurley handles 18 touches in playoff win.

Gurley rushed 16 times for 115 yards and a touchdown, also adding two receptions for three yards. The superstar back didn’t see a full workload as he deals with a knee injury, but C.J. Anderson did more than his share of damage with 23 carries for 123 yards and two scores of his own. Gurley will hopefully be a bit healthier in the conference championship, but Los Angeles won’t need to push him with Anderson playing so well.

Damien Williams gets 30 touches in Chiefs’ playoff win.

Williams carried 25 times for 129 yards and a touchdown along with five carries for 25 yards in the Divisional Round victory over the Colts. Throughout the game, Williams gashed the Indianapolis defense and ran with power while finishing runs. Even if Spencer Ware (hamstring) is back in the lineup for the AFC Championship Game, Williams is probably going to be locked in as the team’s starter and could receive a heavy workload considering he’s running so well right now.

The Texans have officially listed Keke Coutee (hamstring) as questionable for the Wild Card Round.

Coutee was able to practice fully all week, so we expect he’ll be good to go against the Colts on Saturday. However, the Texans are listing him as questionable, so don’t lock the rookie receiver in just yet. The team probably just wants to ensure Coutee can get through pre-game warmups without any setbacks, as he’s dealt with multiple hamstring issues throughout his first NFL season.
