Darrius Hayward-Bey doesn’t catch a pass in playoff loss.

DHB received one target on a shallow crossing route at the end of the game. He should be back with the Steelers as a big-time contributor on special teams and a good leader for a team that might be too emotional at times.

Sam Bradford is officially backing up Case Keenum in today’s playoff game.

Teddy Bridgewater is inactive, which makes sense considering Bradford has played a lot more football over the last two years and went through the entire offseason as the starter. Keenum will remain the starter as long as he plays the way he’s been playing, but the Vikings going to Bradford if Keenum struggles would not be surprising.

Derrick Henry can’t get going in the Divisional Round.

The Patriots played a very good game defensively against the Titans, and they appeared to want to take away Derrick Henry on the ground. The second-year back had 12 carries for 28 rushing yards and added three receptions for 21 receiving yards in the loss. Looking ahead to next season, it’s possible (if not expected) that the Titans part ways with veteran running back DeMarco Murray, in which case Henry would be a potential workhorse back for the Titans. However, the team will likely look to add a third-down receiving type of back into the mix if Murray isn’t on the roster. If he is the leader in the backfield next season, the former Heisman Trophy winner would offer monster upside early in fantasy drafts.

Levine Toilolo catches one pass in the Divisional Round.

The big tight end caught a pass in the flat very early in the game that he took for 12 yards. Toilolo will likely be back with Atlanta next season, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option.

The Ravens are releasing running back Danny Woodhead, according to Ian Rapoport.

As Rapoport says, it’s for cap reasons, and the team also released right tackle Austin Howard earlier today. Woodhead will now hit a free agent market that’s crowded with some really good players, but he shouldn’t have trouble finding a new team. A hamstring injury derailed Woodhead’s lone season in Baltimore.

Jonathan Stewart is visiting the Lions today, according to Adam Schefter.

DeMarco Murray is also going to visit the team today, so Detroit is clearly looking into ways to upgrade their backfield in 2018. Signing Stewart or Murray quickly wouldn’t be a surprise, but if not, expect them to be heavily involved with some of the available running backs in free agency. The legal tampering period begins today, so the Lions will also be able to talk to free agents like Dion Lewis, too.

Jonathan Stewart is visiting the Seahawks, according to Mike Garafolo.

Stewart is looking for a new team for the first time in his decade-long career, and the Seahawks are looking to get their running game going after it struggled the last two seasons. It’s worth noting Stewart has run very well against Seattle’s tough defense over the last few seasons, running for over 4.5 yards per carry in two of the three games, and rushing for two touchdowns in the game he did not eclipse 4.5 yards per carry. We’ll see if Stewart visits with more teams, but Seattle might be a match for him.
