Josh Hill catches three passes in the Divisional Round.

Hill was targeted six times against the Vikings, gaining 54 yards on his three receptions. Hill had a key reception late in the game, catching a pass over the middle to help get the Saints into field goal range for a go-ahead field goal, but the Vikings stormed back and scored with no time remaining. The tight end situation for New Orleans doesn’t produce the same amount of fantasy production it once did, so Hill isn’t a recommended fantasy option in drafts this summer.

Teddy Bridgewater intends to sign a one-year contract with the Jets tomorrow, according to ESPN’s Christ Mortensen.

It was reported earlier in the day by multiple people that Bridgewater was discussing a deal with the Jets, and it looks like he’ll be signing the dotted line tomorrow. The Jets already re-signed Josh McCown earlier in the day, so they’ll now have an awesome veteran to go along with the 25-year-old Bridgewater, who was previously Minnesota’s franchise quarterback until his unfortunate knee injury just before the 2016 season. This could turn into a quarterback competition, with a rookie potentially thrown into the mix as well, but we expect Bridgewater to emerge as the Week 1 starter. McCown is a very underrated quarterback, though, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he ended up winning the starting job over Teddy.

Wild finish in Winter Park: Vikings advance to NFC Championship with Stefon Diggs touchdown on final play of the game.

Diggs caught six passes for 137 yards and a score in the 29-24 victory, which looked hopeless with ten seconds to play until a sideline pass was caught by the star receiver, and he turned upfield to sprint for the game-winning touchdown from 61 yards away. It was absolute mayhem. Diggs will look to do a lot of damage against Philly’s attackable secondary in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.

Wide receiver John Brown is expected to sign with the Ravens, according to Adam Schefter.

It was reported earlier in the day that the Ravens were negotiating with Brown, and it appears a deal has gotten done. Of course, it cannot be official until the start of the new league year tomorrow at 4:00 PM ET, but the Ravens have gotten a deep threat set to presumably replace Mike Wallace in the offense. Joe Flacco and Brown seem like they could be a good pairing, and it’s possible he’s the clear top target for him if the Ravens part ways with Jeremy Maclin this offseason.

Ted Ginn Jr. plays well in Saints’ playoff loss.

Ginn was targeted 11 times against the Vikings, catching eight passes for 72 yards while also adding one carry for 11 yards. The speedy receiver was a reliable target for Drew Brees, and he was open on a deep ball early in the game, but Brees underthrew it. Next season, should remain the number two receiver in New Orleans, so he’ll have some FLEX worthy weeks and will be an option late in fantasy drafts next summer.

Former Browns running back Isaiah Crowell is expected to sign with the Jets.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports it’s a three-year deal for Crowell. After losing Matt Forte to retirement, the Jets are adding Crowell to the mix to go along with Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire. It’s possible the Jets have another full-blown committee in 2018, but it’ll be interesting to see the numbers on Crowell’s deal. Crowell averaged 4.2 yards per carry in his four seasons with the Browns. This deal cannot become official until the start of the new league year tomorrow at 4:00 PM ET.

C.J. Ham handles one touch in win over the Saints.

It was a seven-yard carry to convert a third-down attempt. Ham should lead the way for Latavius Murray in running situations for the NFC Championship Game next Sunday against Philly.
