Mike Wallace (ankle) was officially limited in today’s practice.

The Eagles made the postseason, so Wallace could still potentially make a return during a playoff run. However, Wallace being ruled out ahead of the weekend for Week 17’s contest could indicate he won’t be ready for the Wild Card Round against the Bears. We’ll track Wallace’s practice status the next two days, though.

C.J. Anderson goes off in win over the Cowboys.

Anderson rushed 23 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns, splitting time with starter Todd Gurley (16 carries for 115 yards and one score) as he nurses a knee injury. The veteran runner—who has postseason experience and a Super Bowl ring on the resumé—was basically a “bowling ball of butcher’s knives” as FOX’s Tony Gonzalez put it at halftime, and the Rams are extremely comfortable with him picking up the slack for Gurley. Anderson should remain heavily involved for the NFC Championship Game against either New Orleans or Philadelphia.

Nyheim Hines rushed three times for 24 yards in Saturday’s loss to the Chiefs.

Hines surprisingly wasn’t targeted, and the Colts probably could have used him more as a weapon out of the backfield with the receivers struggling. Overall this season, the rookie fourth-round pick flashed enough to have a similar role in 2019 as a pass-catching compliment to Marlon Mack, which should lead to value in PPR leagues.

Allen Hurns says he’ll be good to go for the start of next season.

Hurns told NFL Network’s Jane Slater, “I’ll be good to go by the beginning of of the (2019) season.” This is great to hear after Hurns suffered an ugly-looking ankle dislocation in yesterday’s postseason win against the Seahawks. Hurns will probably miss all of offseason training, but he should be good to go sometime during training camp this summer.

Blake Jarwin catches three passes in playoff win.

Jarwin gained 15 yards on his three receptions against the Seahawks. Jarwin couldn’t quite match his three-touchdown performance to end the regular season, but he’ll remain Dallas’ top tight end next weekend in the Divisional Round.

Ezekiel Elliott scores in Divisional Round loss.

Elliott carried 20 times for 47 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for 19 yards in the Cowboys’ playoff loss. His score came on a goal-line carry in the third quarter. As the stats indicate, the Rams did an excellent job of limiting the league’s leading rusher, as there simply wasn’t much room to run and there were a few plays where he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. Elliott enters 2019 as a prime candidate for a contract extension after leading the league in rushing in two of his first three seasons, and he’ll be set for among the heaviest workloads in the NFL next season. Elliott will be among the safest selections in 2019 fantasy drafts.

Andrew Luck, Colts fall to the Chiefs, 31-13.

Luck was 19/36 for 203 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions, also adding two carries for 17 yards and a lost fumble. Indy went three-and-out on the opening possession after Eric Ebron dropped a pass, and the offense could never get on track. Luck didn’t have his best game, but he also wasn’t helped as his receivers dropped passes and failed to create consistent separation. Overall, the Colts certainly defied expectations this season, and they should be back as contenders in 2019. Luck will be a no-doubt top-five option in fantasy drafts this summer.
