Cooper Kupp Landing Spots
Cooper Kupp Landing Spots On Monday, February 3rd, Cooper Kupp revealed on X that the Rams intended to trade the seventh-year pro. I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA. Still, if there’s… pic.twitter.com/XWmbGVscGy — Cooper Kupp (@CooperKupp) February 4, 2025 If his time in LA is done, Kupp will go down as one of the great draft picks in the Sean McVay era. A 2017 third-rounder, Kupp is a two-time All-Pro with 634 receptions for 7,776 yards and won a ring with the 2021 Rams However, Kupp hasn’t been healthy since that season and is seeing his efficiency metrics start to slide. Additionally, with a 2025 cap hit of over $29 million, the Rams will have a difficult time finding any trade suitors. Instead, it is more likely that Kupp will be released with a post-June 1st destination. That would allow the Rams to spread out that dead money hit over multiple league years. Regardless, if Kupp is indeed finished in Los Angeles, there will be plenty of WR-needy teams interested in acquiring his services. Looking at our 2025 NFL Team Needs, a dozen NFL teams have wide receiver as one of their top two needs ahead of free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft. Playing for a contender seems like an important factor for Kupp, so these are the top potential Cooper Kupp Landing Spots. Cincinnati Bengals – The Bengals just led the league in passing However, Tee Higgins is set to test free agency, which opens up a massive opportunity in Cincinnati. Also, the Bengals still need to extend Ja’Marr Chase, so waiting for Kupp to be released would be an important factor for the salary cap. Houston Texans – Stefon Diggs is a free agent and the Texans have almost no qualified depth behind Nico Collins. Houston also just signed former Rams’ assistant Nick Caley to be their offensive coordinator, which could go a long way toward attracting Kupp to a contender with a serious need. Washington Commanders – Fresh off an NFC title game appearance, the Commanders are a young team ready to take the next step. They also have one of the league’s thinnest receiver rooms outside of Terry McLaurin. Finally, Washington has a ton of cap space, which could come into factor if any team considered acquiring Kupp’s substantial salary. Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers also have little WR talent. And promising younger George Pickens could also be on his way out. However, the Steelers need to settle their more pressing quarterback position first. Having a dependable veteran like Cooper Kupp would be an attractive addition for the next signal-caller. Los Angeles Chargers – Perhaps staying home in Los Angeles could work? The Chargers certainly have a need and have an excellent young quarterback. However, they ranked just 19th in passing. New England Patriots – The Patriots aren’t contenders and ranked dead last in the league in passing in 2024. However, they have a hodge-podge receiving corps that could use the presence of a proven veteran safety valve. Kupp would be a superlative option for Drake Maye, who heavily relied on his tight ends in his promising rookie campaign.

AFC Championship Preview
AFC Championship Preview We are down to the final four. FullTime Fantasy‘s AFC Championship Preview breaks down the slate from a fantasy football and sports betting perspective for Sunday’s Bills vs. Chiefs showdown. And just because the fantasy regular season has ended doesn’t mean the fun is over. FFWC Playoff Fantasy Football is a great way to extend the fantasy fun and win amazing prizes! Buffalo Bills (15-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (16-2) Time: 6:30 Eastern Line: Chiefs -2 Total: 47.5 Money Line: Bills +110, Chiefs -125 Bills Offense The Buffalo Bills have come up short in their quest to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since losing four straight to open the 1990s. Unfortunately, their biggest obstacle has been the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, who have appeared in seven consecutive AFC title games. Is this the year that the Bills go on the road and finally do it? For that to happen, Josh Allen must play like he did in Week 11, when the Bills beat KC 30-21. Buffalo outgained Kansas City 366-259 in that game and forced a pair of interceptions. Allen sealed the victory with a 2-yard TD run on fourth down. Buffalo has defeated Kansas City four straight times in the regular season. However, the Chiefs have eliminated Buffalo from the playoffs three times. Allen must avoid turnovers to give his team a shot at toppling Goliath. RDA* projections for the week like RB James Cook. However, the Chiefs boasted the stingiest defense in the league for opposing running back. KC held Cook to 20 yards on nine carries in Week 11. However, Cook punched in two touchdowns to salvage his fantasy outing. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson will spell Cook, with Johnson playing more of a role in the passing game. Both are in ‘DFS dart throw’ territory. Khalil Shakir leads Buffalo’s receiving corp. Shakir caught eight balls for 70 yards against the Chiefs and our RDA* projections have Shakir as our WR5 for the week. He’ll mostly be facing off against Kansas City slot corner Chamarri Conner, who allows the most fantasy points per route (0.36) in the secondary. It’s hard to trust Buffalo’s other wideouts. Amari Cooper has caught two balls for eight yards in the postseason. Rookie Keon Coleman plays future snaps but has also done next to nothing in the playoffs. Expect the Bills to utilize a ton of ’12’ sets with Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. Defending the tight end position has been problematic for the Chiefs, who surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. Knox caught four for 40 against Kansas City previously, a game that Kincaid missed. Our RDA* projections have the duo combining to catch seven passes for 71 yards with a 38-percent shot at a score. Chiefs Offense Chiefs’ fatigue is real. Just open up your favorite social media source and look for the ubiquitous referee/Patrick Mahomes memes. With seven straight appearances in this game, people are over it. And Vegas thinks the Bills have a real shot in this game. It should be an instant classic. Speaking of Patrick Mahomes, he averages 260.4 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and seven INTs in five career regular-season meetings against the Bills. However, in the postseason, Mahomes jumps up to 306 yards with eight TDs and no interceptions in three postseason outings. His passing prop is 252.5 yards with a stellar -154 line on the OVER 1.5 TDs. Any Reid will employ a committee backfield. We keep waiting for Isiah Pacheco to take the lead but it’s just not happening. Kareem Hunt continues to be a major factor and seems to be the preferred short-yardage option. Our RDA* projections came out higher on Pacheco, but Hunt seems like the better value. Isiah Pacheco’s post-injury productivity raises questions for the Chiefs’ ground game. (via @ShowMeFB) https://t.co/Sh5sNMt3UL — Arrowhead Addict (@ArrowheadAddict) January 24, 2025 It’s also difficult to decipher who is Kansas City’s No. 1 receiver. The matchup is a good one for the group, though. Buffalo allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to the position. Xavier Worthy is the best bet and has been surging. He’s averaged eight targets per game since putting a 4/61/1 line on Buffalo in Week 11. Vegas has Worthy’s scrimmage yard total at 56.5 yards. However, our RDA* projections are higher, so we like the value this week. While Worthy has excelled, DeAndre Hopkins has eroded. Nuk hasn’t scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 14 and didn’t even catch a pass against Houston last week. He only caught three balls for 29 yards against the Bills in Week 11. This week’s total looks inviting but Hopkins’s lack of production over the last month is concerning. Vegas favors Hollywood Brown to be a better start than Hopkins. Brown’s receiving prop (39.5) and TD odds (+260) are higher. Also, our RDA* projections agree, projecting Hollywood to outscore Nuk 10.4 to 8.4 in PPR. It’s January, so expect Travis Kelce to play out. Our No. 1 tight end for Week 21, Kelce has scored in back-to-back games and is coming off his highest yardage total of the season. Conversely, the Bills were middle-of-the-pack, allowing 12.0 fantasy points per game to opposing TEs. Notable AFC Championship Preview betting takeaways per Ben Fawks and ESPN Bet: 71.4% of bets and 73.5% of handle are on Bills (+2, opened +1) 67.7% of bets and 50.5% of handle are on Bills ML (+110) 72.6% of bets and 59.3% of handle are on OVER (47.5, opened 48.5) FullTime Fantasy’s Playoff Fantasy Football Contests Play 1 or play all 3!

NFC Championship Preview
NFC Championship Preview We are down to the final four. FullTime Fantasy‘s NFC Championship Preview breaks down the slate from a fantasy football and sports betting perspective for Sunday’s Commanders vs. Eagles showdown. And just because the fantasy regular season has ended doesn’t mean the fun is over. FFWC Playoff Fantasy Football is a great way to extend the fantasy fun and win amazing prizes! Washington Commanders (14-5) at Philadelphia Eagles (15-3) Time: 3:00 Eastern Line: Eagles -6 Total: 48.5 Money Line: Commanders +230, Eagles -280 Commanders Offense Jayden Daniels is already setting records. However, with one more win, Daniels would become the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to start in a Super Bowl. The Eagles and Commanders split their season series. In those two games, Daniels averaged 224.5 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. However, five of those six TD tosses came in Washington’s 36-33 Week 16 win. Daniels also ran for 99 yards against the Eagles this season. Philadelphia ranked first against the pass in 2024. Additionally, the Eagles allowed the second-fewest points. However, Daniels was electric against them last month and fantasy managers need not shy away from paying up to start him in a game that has a fantasy-friendly over/under. RB Brian Robinson Jr. has a rushing prop of 36.5 yards. He previously ran for 63 yards and a score in Philly but didn’t do much in the high-scoring rematch. Only Kansas City allowed fewer fantasy points to running backs than Philadelphia, but our RDA* projections have him clearing that total by 10 yards. Austin Ekeler won’t see as many carries but will absorb plenty of targets. He reeled in 8-0f-9 for 89 yards in Week 16 and was very good last week in Detroit. In PPR scoring, he’s our RB6 for the week. WR Terry McLaurin‘s current Vegas receiving line is five grabs for 64 yards with a +140 line to score. However, the Eagles shut McLaurin down in both games, limiting him to 10 and 60 yards with a TD in Week 16. McLaurin lines up on the left 63 percent of the time, so he’ll mostly avoid Darius Slay. RDA* projections have McLaurin at 67.8 yards. Outside McLaurin, the remainder of Washington’s receiving corps should be viewed only as DFS longshots. However, Dyami Brown is interesting in that capacity. He’s come on during the postseason run, catching 11 balls for 187 yards and a touchdown. His receiving prop sits at 44.5 yards, which is respectable for a player who only topped that twice in the regular season. Olamide Zaccheaus and Jamison Crowder will split slot duties. These two veterans combined to score five touchdowns all season. However, four of those came against the Eagles in Week 16. TE Zach Ertz had one good game (6/47/1) against his former team and one atrocious outing (1/12/0) in Philly. Overall, the Eagles allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position, so not a great matchup for Ertz. However, he is the best bet to command the second-most targets and there aren’t many dependable fantasy options at tight end this week. Eagles Offense The Eagles are 14-1 in their last 15 games. And that one L came in Week 16 against these Washington Commanders, 36-33. The deciding game will be played at Lincoln Financial Field and the Eagles are favored by six. In Jalen Hurts‘s last meeting with the Commanders, his passing yardage prop was 196.5. He got injured that week but he’s fully healthy now. However, this week’s passing yardage prop has dipped to 182.5, which is right in line with our RDA* projections. Of course, Hurts is -115 to rush for a TD with 31.5 as the yardage prop. Washington ranked 30th in run defense this season so prime matchup for Saquon Barkley. Barkley scored 31.8 and 27 fantasy points versus the Commanders this season. His Week 21 yardage prop of 130.5 is unheard of. Pay up. With Hurts having depressed passing projections, Philaelphia’s receivers bear the brunt. A.J. Brown‘s Vegas totals are below 60 yards with a lowly +155 mark to score. Our RDA* projections, however, are more bullish. DeVonta Smith‘s lines (47.5, +190) are even lower. However, Smith is our WR3 for the week, so there is a lot of value in targeting him in DFS lineups. Before last week, Smith had topped 50 receiving yards in four straight, including 6/51/0 against Washington in Week 16. Jahan Dotson will be the WR3. However, Dotson is likely to spend more reps lined up on the left to free up Brown and Smith to avoid Marshon Lattimore’s RCB coverage. TE Dallas Goedert has been on a bit of a heater since returning from IR. He’s caught four passes in each of his three games and he posted a solid 5/61/0 line on this secondary in Week 11. Notable NFC Championship Preview betting takeaways per Ben Fawks and ESPN Bet: 68% of bets and 53.7% of handle are on Commanders (+6.5, opened +5) 39.9% of bets and 58.1% of handle are on Eagles ML (-280) 83.4% of bets and 77.9% of handle are on OVER (47.5, opened 47.5) FullTime Fantasy’s Playoff Fantasy Football Contests Play 1 or play all 3!

Sunday Playoff Preview
Sunday Playoff Preview The Divisional Round continues Sunday with a pair of games. FullTime Fantasy‘s Sunday Playoff Preview breaks down the slate from a fantasy football and sports betting perspective. And just because the fantasy regular season has ended doesn’t mean the fun is over. FFWC Playoff Fantasy Football is a great way to extend the fantasy fun and win amazing prizes! Los Angeles Rams (11-7) at Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) Time: 3:00 Eastern Line: Eagles -6 Total: 44 Money Line: Rams +233, Eagles -273 Rams Offense The Rams pulled off the “home” upset last week in Arizona, but traveling into freezing Philadelphia is different. Stafford has been significantly better since getting Puka Nacua back into the lineups. However, a forecast of sub-freezing temperatures and a 70% chance of snow doesn’t bode well. Therefore, Stafford’s RDA* projections aren’t favorable. Matthew Stafford outdoors in the rain or snow: 1-8 54.6 completion % 14 TD 11 INT 76.0 rating (via @TBagleySports) pic.twitter.com/Cp17f3IkDt — SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) January 16, 2025 Only Kansas City allowed fewer fantasy points to running backs than Philadelphia. However, Kyren Williams remains a good play due to his position-leading snap-share. Additionally, Williams is a three-down back and a dependable short-yardage option with a nose for the stripe. Puka Nacua caught 9-of-13 targets for 117 scoreless yards against the Eagles in Week 12. He remains the focal point of LA’s offense but should expect more intense coverage from an improving Philly secondary. However, with the volume potential is this game as the Rams’ only reliable pass-catcher, Nacua tops our RDA* projections. Back in the day, Cooper Kupp was that dependable, volume-driven option in LA’s offense. However, his efficiency eroded to the point that Kupp barely factored into the Rams’ offense over the past month. With a tough matchup and adverse conditions, I wouldn’t bet on a rebound here. Demarcus Robinson will be the main WR3 and offers some DFS appeal. At tight end, Tyler Higbee is rounding into shape. Higbee was the TE13 in the final three regular-season weeks. Additionally, he reeled in all five of his targets for 58 yards in the Wild Card win. Conversely, this is a tough matchup for Higbee, as the Eagles allowed just 9.3 fantasy points per game to the position–second-fewest in the league. Eagles Offense Jalen Hurts essentially missed Philadelphia’s final three regular-season contests and looked rusty last week. That said, no Eagles fans are complaining about a 22-10 victory. That same formula worked in Week 12 when Hurts and the Eagles beat the Rams 37-20 despite modest numbers from Hurts. Also, weather could force the Eagles to a more ground-based approach. Especially considering they posted 314 rushing yards against this opponent in Week 12. Saquon Barkley was the main catalyst of that thrashing, running for 255 yards and two touchdowns. We’re projecting about half of that production in the rematch. However, Barkley still tops our Week 20 RDA* projections. Despite destroying the Rams on the ground, A.J. Brown still caught six balls for 109 yards and a TD in his previous outing with the Rams. Brown remains an elite option against a secondary that ceded 20 touchdowns to wideouts in 2024. DeVonta Smith missed Week 12 but has been heating up. Smith has topped 50 yards in four consecutive games, including a pair of outings with 100-plus and three combined TDs. In a game where weather could hamper downfield attempts, Smith’s underneath role could be key. Dallas Goedert is a sneaky pick to have a big game. The Rams allowed 15.2 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends–the third-highest mark in the NFL. Baltimore Ravens (13-5) at Buffalo Bills (14-4) Time: 6:30 Eastern Line: Ravens -1 Total: 51..5 Money Line: Bills -106, Ravens -114 Ravens Offense Sunday’s Main Event takes place in the late window, as the Bills and Ravens square off to earn a trip to next week’s AFC title game. Buffalo has not won in the Divisional round since 2020 and will be home underdogs to a Ravens squad that humbled them 35-10 back in Week 4. In that game, Lamar Jackson only threw for 156 yards and two scores. However, he ran for 54 and another score en route to a weekly QB6 finish. The forecast calls for 13 degrees with a 50/50 shot at snow but that won’t necessarily be a hindrance to Jackson and company. Vegas set a line of 278.5 total yards with a lean on three total scores. Fantasy’s overall RB1, Derrick Henry ran for 199 and scored two total touchdowns in Week 4 against this defense. The Bills have shored up that run D since September but still surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Henry is -200 to revisit the end zone in this game a yardage prop of 106.5 yards. While the rushing attack is locked in, things are more uncertain through the air. Mainly because of the health of Zay Flowers, who missed the Wild Card game with a knee injury. Flowers hasn’t practiced all week and is doubtful to play. Even if he does, he would be limited. Our RDA* projections are modest, mainly because of the baked-in risk. Rashod Bateman will see an increase in targets and remains the best bet to score. However, his volume is fairly modest, so Bateman is rather TD-dependent. Still, the Bills were below-average defending wideouts, and the 51.5-point total indicates a solid game script. All other Baltimore wideouts are relegated to low-cost DFS dart throws. Mark Andrews is our TE3 for the week, projected to score 11.9 PPR points. Additionally, the Ravens will also use Isaiah Likely liberally in place of the aforementioned ancillary wide receivers. Likely didn’t do much against Buffalo (1/26/0) previously, but has a Vegas yardage prop of 36.5. Bills Offense After a brutal start, Baltimore’s pass defense has greatly improved. Josh Allen can supplement that with plenty of rushing production, but the Ravens have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards to quarterbacks. This seems like a

Saturday Playoff Preview The NFL Divisional Round kicks off Saturday with a pair of high-profile matchups. FullTime Fantasy‘s Saturday Playoff Preview breaks down the slate from a fantasy football and sports betting perspective. And just because the fantasy regular season has ended doesn’t mean the fun is over. FFWC Playoff Fantasy Football is a great way to extend the fantasy fun and win amazing prizes! Houston Texans (11-7) at Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) Time: 4:30 Eastern Line: Chiefs -9 Total: 41.5 Money Line: Houston +395, Kansas City -500 Texans Offense Houston’s offense has been stagnant for a while. However, DeMeco Ryans’s D stepped up huge in the Wild Card round, leading the Texans to a 20-point victory. Things won’t be as easy in the Divisional round, as a trip to frigid Missouri to face the defending champs is on deck. It will take a near-perfect game from C.J. Stroud to give the Texans any chance. Stroud and company played in this building five weeks ago, and Stroud threw a pair of interceptions in a 27-19 loss. His play has regressed in Year Two, and facing a well-rested KC defense will be tough in freezing conditions. Although there is some optimism about Houston covering, Stroud is a lesser option in this four-game slate. RB Joe Mixon has cooled after a torrid start. He did rush for 106 yards and a score last week against a formidable Chargers defense. However, facing the Chiefs will be much more difficult. Opposing running backs averaged a league-low 16.2 fantasy points per game versus Kansas City. Mixon will play a high snap share and can contribute as a receiver but he’ll have to score a touchdown to pay off as a DFS option. It’s Nico Collins or bust at receiver for Houston. Collins has an over/under of 83.5 yards and is +180 to score per Vegas. However, our RDA* projections have Collins as the WR3 in this slate thanks to volume. Also, if Houston falls behind by multiple scores, that only favors Collins. Additionally, the Chiefs were below average in terms of surrendering fantasy points to enemy wideouts, so we’re signing off on Nico. After that, Houston offers up little more than DFS dart throws. Robert Woods caught three balls for 19 yards against KC in Week 16. John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson also don’t inspire a ton of confidence and Jared Wayne was just called up from the practice squad. At tight end, Dalton Schultz had a nice game against KC, snagging five balls for 45 yards and a touchdown. And only three teams allowed more fantasy points to the position than the Chiefs, so our RDA* projections (4.6/43/.33) have Schultz as a top-4 PPR option in Week 20. Chiefs Offense Houston ceded the sixth-fewest passing yards in 2024 and they did a solid job on Patrick Mahomes in Week 16. In that contest, Mahomes threw for 260 yards and one touchdown. However, Mahomes did run for 33 and an additional score to post good fantasy numbers. Vegas has Mahomes projected to total 277.5 yards (23.5 rushing) and he’s -144 to go OVER 1.4 touchdowns. KC’s backfield has resolved into a frustrating committee. However, there is a chance that the club has been saving Isiah Pacheco for another Super Bowl run. Vegas has Pacheco projected to produce 51.5 scrimmage yards and he’s +150 to score. However, our RDA* projections have Pacheco at 62 yards with a 37% chance of hitting pay dirt. Kareem Hunt will also be involved. However, the question remains how much? Hunt out-touched Pacheco against Houston previously and found the end zone. But Vegas has Hunt projected to have fewer yards and be less likely to score than Pacheco. Xavier Worthy has been Kansas City’s leading receiver, including catching a team-high seven balls (11 targets) for 65 and a TD versus Houston last month. Our RDA* projections are just under that but Worthy remains a solid start in Playoff Fantasy Leagues. Week 16 was Hollywood Brown’s first game with the club and he immediately commanded a healthy eight targets. As good as Houston’s pass defense was, they did allow opposing wideouts to score 21 touchdowns, so we like Brown and DeAndre Hopkins as quality options. Houston also allowed eight touchdowns to tight ends. While Travis Kelce has been quiet of late (at least by his standards), he tends to show up big in the postseason. Our RDA* projections have Kelce posting 14.2 PPR points, putting his as the TE2 in the slate. Washington Commanders (13-5) at Detroit Lions (15-2) Time: 8:00 Eastern Line: Detroit -9 Total: 55.5 Money Line: Washington +400, Detroit -550 Commanders Offense The AFC kicks off the day but it’s the NFC game that has the fantasy appeal. The upstart Commanders fly into Detroit to take on the conference’s top seed. And Vegas is expecting fireworks with that outrageous 55.5-point total. That puts Jayden Daniels near the top of the Week 20 QB rankings. However, that is not exactly new territory for Daniels, who finished his rookie season as fantasy’s QB5. Detroit has had issues slowing down opposing QBs all season. The Lions allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to the position, including the fourth-most rushing yards (454) and second-most rushing TDs (6). Therefore, Daniels is our QB3 for the week and worth every bit of his lofty DFS price tag. The matchup for the ground game isn’t as appealing. Detroit surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs even with myriad injuries. Washington will utilize two backs, but it’s Austin Ekeler who leads the way in RDA* projections, mainly due to his pass-catching prowess. Brian Robinson can also factor in as a receiver and is just as likely to punch in a short-yardage score. However, Vegas projects Ekler to have one more scrimmage yard, 51-50. Proceed with caution. As explosive as Washington’s offense is, Terry McLaurin has been the only reliable wide receiver. McLaurin posted WR7 numbers in the regular season, averaging 15.9 PPR points per contest.
Injury Report: Divisional Round
Injury Report: Divisional Round The regular season is over, so the reported injuries have cooled significantly.

Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Zay Flowers (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Flowers missed the Wild Card game with a knee injury and still has not returned to practice. At this point, he is looking very questionable about suiting up against the Bills. Even if he can play, Flower could be limited. Rashod Bateman is looking like the best bet to be Baltimore’s WR1. David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions – After sitting out the last four weeks, Montgomery was a full participant at practice this week. He is expected to be back in his usual role. This boosts Detroit’s postseason run and gives the Lions a pair of RB1s for the NFC playoffs. Joe Mixon (RB) Houston Texans – Mixon has been limited with an ankle injury but is expected to play Saturday. Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – Listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. However, it appears to be a veteran rest day, so no concern. Isiah Pacheco (RB) Kansas City Chiefs – Full participant (rib) Tuesday. Dalton Schultz (TE) Houston Texans – Off the injury reports after being limited with a shoulder ailment. Tyler Higbee (TE) Los Angeles Rams– Higbee was sent to the hospital after coughing up blood concluding the Rams’ Monday night victory. However, Jourdan Rodrique of The Athletic indicated that Sean McVay expects his tight end to play on Sunday. Tyler Higbee (chest) was hospitalized last night because he was “coughing up a little bit of blood” said Sean McVay, but was able to make the trip home and McVay added he expects to play Sunday. — Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) January 14, 2025 Ray Davis (RB) Buffalo Bills – Davis has not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and is looking doubtful for Sunday’s game versus Baltimore. Robert Woods (WR) Houston Texans – Woods sat out practice Tuesday with a hip injury. However, the veteran was able to return to practice Wednesday, increasing his odds of playing on Saturday. Cade Stover (TE) Houston Texans – The Texans placed Stover (shoulder) on IR, ending his season. Irv Smith Jr. and Tegan Quitoriano will now be Houston’s reserve tight ends versus Kansas City.
