Marlon Mack (hip) is out for the rest of tonight’s game.

With the Colts unlikely to come back against the Chiefs, it’s not surprising that the team is ruling Mack out after he limped off with a hip injury late in the game. Before leaving, Mack had nine carries for 46 yards, as he again ran the ball very well when given some room to run—the Colts simply couldn’t get much going offensively and didn’t get a first down until under two minutes remaining in the first half. Assuming an amazing comeback doesn’t occur, Mack’s season is now over. During the regular season, Mack rushed for 908 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games, as he was one of the league’s best runners when he got over his early-season hamstring woes. Because Indianapolis already has Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins along with Mack in one of the league’s stronger backfields, we don’t anticipate they’ll add anyone to compete with Mack for the starting job (despite the Le’Veon Bell talk that we don’t buy). Expect Mack to be a great value in 2019 fantasy drafts as a potential RB1 that might be available after the first few rounds.

Dontrelle Inman (shoulder/finger) is officially listed as questionable for the Wild Card Round.

Inman was limited in practice all week, but he should be ready to go against the Texans. The key midseason pickup for the Colts will be needed with T.Y. Hilton (ankle) at less than 100% and Ryan Grant (toe) already ruled out.

Alfred Morris goes over 100 yards against the Rams.

Morris carried 16 times for 111 yards and a touchdown along with one reception for four yards, including a 51-yard run, in the season finale. The veteran running back hasn’t gotten many opportunities for a bad team this season, but he shows he can still play in the league. Morris had 111 carries for 428 yards and two touchdowns along with eight receptions for 73 yards on the year. Many selected him in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts expecting him to be the team’s lead back after Jerick McKinnon’s injury during the summer, but Matt Breida emerged as the starter after a strong early-season showing. Morris is still just 30 and should draw interest if he wants to continue playing.

Daurice Fountain did not catch a pass in the Divisional Round.

Fountain dropped a would-be touchdown late in the game in what was basically garbage time, and it appeared a flag that was tossed might have thrown him off a bit. It was a good sign that he was able to get open, at least. The rookie receiver did not catch any passes during the season, so hopefully he puts this drop behind him heading into the offseason. He’s a deep-league dynasty option in fantasy leagues for now.

Blake Jarwin (ankle) is officially active for the Cowboys.

Jarwin is dealing with a sprained ankle, but he’s good to go for tonight’s playoff game in Los Angeles. The second-year tight end with look to help the Cowboys get to their first NFC Championship Game since 1995.

Austin Ekeler (groin) is officially active for the Wild Card Round.

Ekeler was officially listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he wasn’t expected to miss today’s playoff game against the Ravens. The second-year running back will be a key change-of-pace option behind star runner Melvin Gordon as LA looks to advance to face New England in the Divisional Round.

Mike Davis handles six touches in playoff loss.

Davis rushed four times for ten yards and caught two passes for 22 yards. He also ran in a two-point conversion as Seattle played without kicker Sebastian Janikowski (hamstring) in the second half. Davis, who turns 26 next month, will now enter unrestricted free agency coming off the best season of his career.
