Antonio Gibson (toe) is questionable for Saturday.

Gibson has been playing through the toe injury and is fully expected to again as Washington hopes to upset Tampa Bay. Especially in full PPR scoring formats, J.D. McKissic might be the better DFS option against a stout defensive front.

Alex Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game.

Smith played through the calf issue last week in Washington’s win over the Eagles, but he was clearly well less than 100%, and head coach Ron Rivera has alluded to a potential rotation at quarterback. If Smith is unable to go altogether, Taylor Heinicke would draw the start for the Football Team.

The Eagles are signing Tyree Jackson and moving him to tight end, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Philadelphia has already brought Hakeem Butler onboard as a developmental player to switch from receiver to tight end, and now they are going the Logan Thomas route with Jackson. The former strong-armed quarterback certainly has the size at six-foot-seven to make the transition, and he will look to stick around and make the team out of camp next summer.

Mike Evans (knee) will be a game-time decision on Saturday night.

We fully expect Evans will be ready to go after tweaking his knee a bit in Week 17. However, keep in mind the Bucs might have the long game in mind as they look to win a title; the team is stacked at receiver and might be able to get by Washington with stars Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown leading the way among Tom Brady’s targets.

The Steelers activated Eric Ebron from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

While the Browns continue to deal with their COVID issues, Ebron was able to get cleared and will play in the Wild Card Round on Sunday night.

The Rams have activated Cooper Kupp from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Kupp will be back on Saturday for a trip to Seattle, which is a big boost to the offense whether or not Jared Goff (thumb) is back in the lineup. Based on the previous matchup and the way both teams have played recently, Rams-Seahawks could be more of a slugfest.

The Titans are signing Marcus Johnson to the practice squad.

Johnson has spent a good amount of time with the Colts, so he could give some intel if the AFC South rivals match up during the postseason. Johnson brings a speed element to the Titans.
