Join now >Marqise Lee (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday.
Lee didn’t practice yesterday, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says the belief is Lee will play for the Wild Card game against the Bills even if he doesn’t practice all week. It’s playoff time, so it would not be surprising if the fourth-year receiver did everything he could to get out there with his team for his first postseason game.

Devin Funchess leaves game with apparent lower leg injury.
On Carolina’s first offensive drive of the game, Funchess ran an out route on third down, and it looks like he suffered either an ankle or Achilles injury. Hopefully it’s just a twisted ankle, but we’ll update you as more information becomes available. Funchess would be a huge loss if he ends up being out for the rest of this Wild Card matchup with New Orleans.

DeMarco Murray (knee) did not practice today.
For as much as Murray wants to play in Saturday’s playoff game against the Chiefs, things aren’t looking good right now. It’s possible he’s ruled out tomorrow when the official injury report for the game is released, but we’ll see.

Logan Thomas catches one pass in Bills’ playoff loss.
Thomas gained five yards on his lone reception, and he did have a first-half pass intended for him that was tipped up and intercepted by Jacksonville. The former Virginia Tech quarterback has upside at the position, but he’s not a recommended 2018 fantasy option quite yet.

Adam Gase says Ryan Tannehill will be the team’s starter in 2018.
Tannehill is expected to be 100% for OTAs, which would mean he gets a full offseason with the offense. Tannehill will surprisingly turn 30 years old this July, and he’s set to make nearly $20 million. Jay Cutler—who filled in well for the Dolphins, all things considered—isn’t going to return as a backup, so he might make his way to the broadcast booth to form the three-man team with Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis at FOX, which was initially his plan until the Dolphins gave him the call during training camp. As for Tannehill, he’ll bring more of a running threat to Adam Gase’s offense, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was a backend QB1 for 2018. Miami has some good weapons (assuming they re-sign receiver Jarvis Landry) with a good offensive coach.

Ben Koyack scores only touchdown of Jaguars’ Wild Card win.
Jacksonville went for it on a fourth-and-goal in the third quarter against the Bills, and Koyack ran a route to the post and held on to a perfect pass from Blake Bortles while going to the ground. It was the deciding score of the defensive battle. Koyack isn’t a recommended fantasy option in the Divisional Round against the Steelers.

Marqise Lee (ankle) did not practice today.
It’s only Wednesday, so Lee still has some time to get ready before Sunday’s playoff matchup against the Bills. However, he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and there’s no guarantee he’ll be able to get to the point where he’ll be healthy enough to help the team.
