AJ Barner: No catches in blowout win
Sunday, January 18, 2026 9:13 PM
Barner wasn't targeted in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.
QB Sam Darnold attempted just 17 passes because the Seahawks' defense and special teams were so effective to start the game, and Barner was unable to draw his attention. However, he did rush once for two yards to pick up a first down. The second-year tight end out of Michigan is reliant on touchdowns for his fantasy value. He found the end zone six times during the regular season.

Jason Myers: Perfect in blowout win
Sunday, January 18, 2026 9:11 PM
Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.
Myers missed two kicks in the regular-season finale against the 49ers, but he was perfect in the rematch. Overall, Myers has hit 86 percent of his field-goal tries this season, including nine of 12 attempts from beyond 50 yards. Myers will be outdoors again in the NFC Championship Game regardless of the opponent.

Dareke Young: No targets in blowout win
Sunday, January 18, 2026 9:09 PM
Young wasn't targeted in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.
Young worked as the No. 5 wide receiver and logged just 11 offensive snaps. He has received just two targets this season, so his work will be most noticeable on special teams in the NFC Championship Game.

Jake Bobo: Reels in key third down
Sunday, January 18, 2026 9:07 PM
Bobo caught his lone target for 16 yards in Saturday's 41-6 win versus the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.
Bobo hasn't been targeted since Week 7, but he came up with a big grab on a long third down in the second quarter, setting up the Seahawks' third touchdown of the evening. The third-year wideout operated as the No. 4 wide receiver and handled just 13 offensive snaps. He figures to have a similar role in the NFC Championship Game.

Kayshon Boutte: Hauls in TD against Texans
Sunday, January 18, 2026 8:53 PM
Boutte caught three of five targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
The third-year wideout put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter, connecting with Drake Maye for a 32-yard score. Boutte led the Patriots in receiving yards on the day, and through two playoff games he's put together a strong 7-141-1 line on just nine targets. He'll look to keep rolling next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Stefon Diggs: Revenge TD on Sunday
Sunday, January 18, 2026 8:48 PM
Diggs caught four of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
Facing the team he played for in 2024, Diggs connected with Drake Maye on a seven-yard TD in the second quarter to give New England a 21-10 lead. The veteran wideout hasn't seen big volume through the Patriot's first two playoff contests, but he's turned 11 targets into a 6-56-1 line. Diggs will look to make an impact again next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

TreVeyon Henderson: Quiet again in Sunday's win
Sunday, January 18, 2026 8:43 PM
Henderson carried the ball 12 times for 25 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
The rookie running back's longest gain went for only six yards and he once again took a back seat to Rhamondre Stevenson, who led New England with 70 rushing yards. Henderson hasn't made much of an impact so far in the playoffs, putting together just 59 total scrimmage yards through the Patriots' first two games, but he's get another chance to produce a big play or two next weekend in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos.

Rhamondre Stevenson: Leading rusher in Sunday's win
Sunday, January 18, 2026 8:32 PM
Stevenson carried the ball 16 times for 70 yards and caught all four of his targets for 11 yards in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.
Despite leaving the game briefly due to an eye injury, Stevenson led New England in carries, plus rushing and scrimmage yards. The fifth-year RB has yet to get into the end zone in two playoff games, but he's still made an impact with 209 scrimmage yards. Stevenson should have a significant role in the offense again next weekend in Denver for the AFC Championship Game.

Drake Maye: Tosses three TDs to advance
Sunday, January 18, 2026 7:59 PM
Maye completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round. He added 10 rushing yards on four carries but committed four fumbles, losing two.
In cold. wet conditions at Foxborough, ball security was the story of the day as the teams combined for eight turnovers. However, Maye was able to overcome his mistakes, hitting DeMario Douglas, Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte for scores to book New England's tickets for the AFC Championship Game. Maye has a 4:2 TD:INT through his first two career playoff games but has lost three fumbles, and he might need to tighten things up in Denver next weekend if he's going to get his team through to the Super Bowl.

Xavier Hutchinson: Four grabs against Pats
Sunday, January 18, 2026 7:51 PM
Hutchinson caught four of 13 targets for 44 yards in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday.
With Nico Collins (concussion) sidelined, Hutchinson wound up leading the Texans in targets, although he didn't do much with that volume. The third-year wideout hadn't seen more than nine targets in a game during the regular season, and that only came in Week 18, as he compiled a 35-428-3 line on 57 targets over 17 games. Hutchinson will head into next season behind Collins, Jayden Higgins and potentially Jaylin Noel on the depth chart, even before accounting for any offseason additions to the WR room.
