Deonte Thompson catches two passes in playoff loss.

Thompson gained 23 yards on his two receptions while also adding a nine-yard carry on an end-around. In the fourth quarter, Thompson was called for holding, which brought back a long reception by LeSean McCoy. Thompson was also open on a deep corner route late in the game, but he was slightly overthrown by Tyrod Taylor. The Bills will likely want to bring Thompson back in 2018, but he probably won’t be an option in fantasy drafts.

The X-rays on LeSean McCoy were negative.

He’s dealing with a sprained ankle, and his status is up in the air for Sunday’s Wild Card matchup with the Jaguars. We would expect him to be ready to go for the game, but his practice status will have to be monitored throughout the week leading up to the game.

Chris Ivory handles one touch in win over the Bills.

Ivory rushed once for two yards, as Leonard Fournette dominated touches with 24 of them out the backfield. His only carry did come near the goal line, but Ivory probably won’t be involved much next week in Pittsburgh.

Jason Witten says he will play in 2018.

There wasn’t much doubt, but now it’s official. And the Cowboys love Witten and will without question be happy to have him back. Witten’s style of play should allow him to continue playing for a few more seasons, and he’ll look to help get the Cowboys back in the playoffs next season.

Marqise Lee held without a reception in playoff win.

He did rush once for five yards. Lee didn’t really have a chance to get going with Blake Borltes struggling through the air, but he will look to be more involved next week in Pittsburgh.

Drew Stanton has been playing with a torn ACL.

Larry Fitzgerald made the announcement on Twitter because of how proud he is of the toughness Stanton shows by playing with the injury. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says Stanton has actually been playing with the injury for years, and that his ACL isn’t even there anymore—but that he knows how to “manage” it. So this probably won’t have any affect on Stanton moving forward, but it’s quite the story nonetheless. Stanton is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Mike Tolbert gets five touches against the Jaguars.

Tolbert had four carries for 15 yards and one reception for ten yards in the playoff loss. On his reception, Tolbert made a nice move to avoid a defender and get a first down. This offseason, the Bills might look to upgrade the backup running back position behind LeSean McCoy, but Tolbert won’t be a recommended fantasy option either way.
