Mack Hollins held without a reception in NFC Championship Game win.

Per usual, Hollins operated as the team’s fourth receiver. He will look to make an impact on special teams or with a big play in Super Bowl LII against the Patriots, which should be a classic.

Wide receiver Michael Crabtree is signing with the Ravens.

It’s a three-year deal reportedly worth $7 million per year for Crabtree. From the moment Crabtree was available and the Ravens voided their agreement with wide receiver Ryan Grant, it seemed like this signing was bound to happen. Crabtree has had outstanding games versus the Ravens in each of the last three seasons with Oakland, so it’s not surprising Baltimore wanted to add him to their roster. John Brown is also in the mix and seems like a good fit with quarterback Joe Flacco, and both guys should be solid fantasy options in 2018. Crabtree has 25 touchdowns over the last three seasons and could become the preferred red-zone target for the Ravens.

Trey Burton catches one pass in Eagles’ playoff win.

Burton’s lone reception in the NFC Championship Game went for 12 yards. His other target was on a pass toward the sideline that Burton mistakingly jumped in the air for when he didn’t have to and landed with one foot out of bounds. The versatile tight end will look to make some key plays in Super Bowl LII, both as a receiver, blocker, and on special teams.

Sammie Coates has been claimed by the Texans.

Coates was waived by the Browns after all the moves they’ve made this week, and Houston has decided to pick him up. The former third-round pick of the Steelers is still just 25 (at the end of the month) and his speed hasn’t gone anywhere, so he should have a chance to earn a role behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller in Bill O’Brien’s offense. Coates might also be insurance for the oft-injured Fuller.

Laquon Treadwell held without a catch in playoff loss.

Treadwell split time with Jarius Wright as the team’s third receiver in the NFC Championship like he did for most of the season, but it didn’t lead to any production. The former first-round pick could still make a third-year leap in 2018, but it will be tough to turn into a reliable fantasy option with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs healthy. Treadwell is a hold in dynasty leagues, but he isn’t worth drafting in redraft formats next summer.

Chad Henne is siging with the Chiefs.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo says it’s a two-year deal for the former Dolphins and Jaguars quarterback. Henne will provide leadership in the quarterback room and backup Patrick Mahomes for Kansas City. Considering the weapons in the Chiefs offense, Henne could become a streaming option if he was forced to hit the field this season.

Alshon Jeffery scores twice as Eagles advance to Super Bowl LII.

Philadelphia’s big-time offseason acquisition came up big with a Super Bowl berth on the line, catching all five targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns versus the Vikings. All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes was matched up with Jeffery for much of the day, but the big receiver took advantage when Rhodes briefly left the game with a toe injury, beating Terrance Newman deep down the field for a 53-yard touchdown on a double move. Later, Jeffery scored in the red zone against zone coverage. When he was still with the Bears after last season, the big receiver predicted his team would win the Super Bowl. Well it won’t come with Chicago, but he’ll have a chance to win with the Eagles in two weeks.
