Monday Playoff Preview

Monday Playoff Preview  The 6-game NFL Wild Card Weekend continues Sunday with a full day 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! Minnesota Vikings (14-3) at Los Angeles Rams (10-7) Time: 8:00 Eastern from Glendale, Arizona Line: Vikings -2.5 Total: 47.5 Money Line: Minnesota -145, Los Angeles +125 Vikings Offense This is another rematch of a regular-season game. In Week 8, the Rams defeated Minnesota 30-20 at SoFi Stadium. For the Vikings to even the score, they can’t allow Matthew Stafford to sit in the pocket and pick them apart for another four scores. Sam Darnold was fine in that game, throwing for 240 yards and two touchdowns. Vegas is predicting Darnold will be better in the rematch. His Week 19 passing yard prop is 265.5 yards and he’s -168 to be OVER 1.5 touchdowns. The Rams allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, so this looks like a plus matchup for Darnold and company. RB Aaron Jones was held to 58 yards on 19 rushes in Week 8. However, he did catch a pair of passes for 37 yards. Jones’s yardage prop of 82.5 with +125 odds of finding pay dirt looks promising but the Rams were above-average against running backs in the regular season. LA allowed only 10 total RB touchdowns in 17 games. Cam Akers will mix in behind Jones and will have some drives to himself. Additionally, Jones was dealing with a quad injury down the stretch that could result in more opportunities for Akers. However, Jones is not listed on the injury report. Los Angeles wasn’t as good against the pass, which bodes well for Minnesota’s receivers. Justin Jefferson caught eight for 115 yards in Week 8. Meanwhile, the Rams allowed an opposing receiver to surpass 90 receiving yards nine times in the regular season. Additionally, LA surrendered 20 touchdown receptions to the position. Our RDA* projections favor another huge outing for Minnesota’s superstar WR1. Jordan Addison didn’t do much (2/22/0) in the previous game. However, Addison has been hot, scoring seven of his nine touchdowns since Week 11. He also averaged 8.25 targets per game during that stretch. Our RDA* projections view Addison as a solid option in this slate, projected to catch 4.2 balls for 58.7 yards, and a 50/50 shot at scoring. We don’t have much interest in Minnesota’s ancillary wideouts. However, TE T.J. Hockenson looks like a good target. In PPR leagues, the Rams allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, who averaged a healthy 15.2 fantasy points per game. Rams Offense Although this is a Rams’ “home” game, the NFL moved it to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, due to the destructive wildfires in and around the LA area. Since getting picked apart by Matthew Stafford in Week 8, the Vikings have shored up their pass defense. In fact, the Vikings allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to enemy signal-callers in the final five weeks of the regular season. This game’s 47.5-point total looks inviting. However, our RDA* projections are cool on Stafford. Only the Ravens allowed fewer rushing yards than Minnesota, so it’s a lousy matchup for RB Kyren Williams. However, Williams led all running backs with an 87% snap share, assuring he’ll have ample opportunities to contribute on the ground, via the pass, and in short yardage. He’s -125 to score and has a scrimmage yard prop of 97.5 yards. WR Puka Nacua returned to the lineup against Minnesota in Week 8 and made an immediate impact. As good as the Vikings have been against the run, they’ve struggled versus the pass. Minnesota allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. Additionally, we see a favorable game script for Nacua, who comes in as our No. 1 wide receiver in this slate. Cooper Kupp’s play tailed off down the stretch. He only had three targets in each of LA’s final three contests and never topped 30 receiving yards. Kupp caught five balls for 51 yards and a score against this secondary in Week 8. However, our RDA* projections (5/62/.33) are quite a bit higher than Vegas projects. WR3 Demarcus Robinson had a DUI arrest this week. There’s no indication if that will impact his role in this game but we recommend avoiding the Rams’ ancillary receivers. That includes the tight end position. Tyler Higbee is still working his way back and should lead the way. However, the Rams don’t feature the position prominently and will use multiple players. Higbee is the best bet to score if you’re looking to save money in DFS.   FullTime Fantasy’s Playoff Fantasy Football Contests Play 1 or play all 3! YOU decide!

Sunday Playoff Preview

Sunday Playoff Preview  The 6-game NFL Wild Card Weekend continues Sunday with a full day 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! Denver Broncos (10-7) at Buffalo Bills (13-4) Time: 1:00 Eastern Line: Bills -8 Total: 47.5 Money Line: Denver +375, Buffalo -465 Broncos Offense Sean Payton’s offense made huge strides in 2024. Most of that can be attributed to landing Bo Nix in the 2024 NFL Draft. Nix proved to be the perfect fit in Payton’s short-passing attack. The results were the Broncos’ first post-season appearance in eight seasons. However, as eight-point dogs, the run could be brief. Per ESPN, rookie QBs are 0-5 in road playoff games over the last 10 seasons. Speaking of Bo Nix, the matchup is neutral. However, the atmosphere will be inhospitable. Buffalo allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, allowing 28 TD passes and an additional 263/2 on the ground. Nix has the athleticism to escape the pocket against a subpar pass rush, but questions remain about Denver’s supporting cast. Denver employs a full-on committee backfield that is fantasy-unfriendly. Our RDA* projections favor Jaleel McLaughlin to lead the way in touches. However, in a game where the Broncos are 8-point underdogs, McLaughlin and Javonte Williams will be involved as receivers. Rookie Audric Estime came on down the stretch and has a 34% chance of punching in a short-yardage score per our Week 19 rankings. The Bills excel at shutting down slot receivers and are vulnerable on the outside. That favors Courtland Sutton (17% slot rate) well. Sutton (81/1081/8) posted WR15 numbers this season and remains a solid Week 19 start in a game with a positive game script. Marvin Mims became a bigger factor in Denver’s offense as the season developed. Mims is Payton’s big-play threat who can make an impact downfield, out of the backfield, and as a returner. Our RDA* projections like Mims this week. However, slot receiver Devaughn Vele is a fade. Also, fantasy footballers should avoid Denver’s messy tight-end rotation. Payton will use Lucas Krull, Adam Trautman, and Nate Adkins indiscriminately. Additionally, Buffalo allowed just five touchdowns to opposing tight ends all season. Bills Offense Josh Allen is 4-1 in the Wild Card round. And as a sizable home favorite, Allen and the Bills were 6-2 against the spread at home this season. Although Denver’s defense ranks as a top-10 unit against opposing quarterbacks, they allowed an enemy QB to surpass 25 fantasy points in three of their final five games. Therefore, Allen remains the top signal-caller to target in Fantasy Playoff Drafts. RB James Cook was tied for the NFL lead with a Buffalo team-record 16 rushing scores. Conversely, Denver allowed 13 total scores to backs in 17 games. Our RDA* projections have Cook as the RB4 in this slate, with a 65-percent chance of finding the end zone. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson will fill in behind Cook. Johnson offers more pass-catching upside, while Davis will see 5-10 carries. Both have some DFS appeal. Khalil Shakir ran 75% of his routes out of the slot, so he’ll mostly avoid Denver CB Pat Surtain. However, Shakir still has a subpar matchup against Denver slot CB Ja’Quan McMillian. Surtain could potentially shadow Keon Coleman, seriously hampering the rookie’s appeal. Additionally, Amari Cooper has been a non-factor in multiple games and missed practice time due to personal reasons. If the Broncos can contain Buffalo’s wideouts, the tight ends stand to benefit. Dalton Kincaid is our No. 3 tight end in PPR scoring. Also, teammate Dawson Knox has some DFS appeal. I think Denver can hang around in this game, which will benefit the offense. Green Bay Packers (11-6) at Philadelphia (14-3) Time: 4:30 Eastern Line: Eagles -5 Total: 45.5 Money Line: Packers +200, Eagles -240 Packers Offense Game No. 2 is projected to be closer but lower scoring. This is a rematch of a Week 1 contest that Philadelphia won 34-29. The Eagles have won three straight against Green Bay, scoring over 30 points in each contest. There were some questions about the health of both quarterbacks. However, both signal-callers will start. Speaking of Jordan Love, his passing yardage prop is 222.5 yards, and a big lean (-149) on the UNDER 1.5 touchdown passes. Love threw for 260 with a pair of TD strikes in Week 1. However, this is a different Philly defense. The Eagles allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers, putting Love near the bottom of our Week 19 quarterbacks. Expect RB Josh Jacobs to get plenty of touches as a runner and receiver. Jacobs had 18 touches for 104 scrimmage yards versus Philly in Week 1. Our RDA* projections see a similar result with a roughly 70-percent shot at hitting pay dirt. Things are more difficult to project for the passing attack. Christian Watson tore his ACL last week and will miss the rest of this season. Subsequently, Jayden Reed is Green Bay’s unquestioned No. 1 wideout. Reed was huge in Week 1, snagging four balls for 138 yards and a score. However, he’s cooled off. Reed hasn’t surpassed 100 yards since Week 9 and has failed to score in his last five. Romeo Doubs is the next man up. Doubs scored nine fantasy points in the season-opening loss to Philadelphia. However, Doubs is a streaky player, with two touchdowns in two games and single-digit PPR points in eight others. Dontayvion Wicks will move up to the WR3 role, giving him some sleeper appeal. No team allowed fewer receiving yards to tight ends (591) than Philadelphia, so it’s a sub-optimal situation for Tucker Kraft. And our RDA* projections agree, projecting Kraft to score an innocuous 6.2 fantasy points. Eagles Offense Jalen Hurts cleared the NFL concussion protocol and practiced in

Saturday Playoff Preview

Saturday Playoff Preview  The 6-game NFL Wild Card Weekend kicks off Saturday with a pair of AFC 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! Los Angeles Chargers (11-6) at Houston Texans (10-7) Time: 4:00 Eastern Line: Chargers -3 Total: 42.5 Money Line: Los Angeles -156, Houston +136 Chargers Offense Jim Harbaugh coached the Chargers to an impressive one-year turnaround. Harbaugh inherited a team that went 5-12 and instilled a new culture, resulting in a postseason appearance in Year One. However, Harbaugh’s main influence was on the defense, which allowed the fewest points in the league. LA’s offense ranked 20th overall, including 19th in passing and 17th in rushing. The Chargers did rank 11th in scoring, but points will be at a premium against a Houston defense that ranked 14th in points allowed. Although Houston’s pass defense ranked 6th overall, the Texans allowed an AFC-worst 31 touchdown passes to quarterbacks. That makes Justin Herbert a solid start. Our RDA* projections have Herbert in the top half of Week 19 fantasy signal-callers. Additionally, Herbert ran for 306 yards and two scores this season, which is another area Houston struggled against. Houston surrendered the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, which makes J.K. Dobbins a lesser option in this slate. Dobbins also won’t catch many passes. That makes him game-script-dependent. However, in a game where the Chargers are favored, Dobbins has a decent shot at seeing 15-plus touches and getting into the end zone. There isn’t a ton of upside behind Dobbins. Gus Edwards has been limited and Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins have split RB3 duties. Additionally, the recent signing of Ezekiel Elliott complicates the complementary roles. Avoid. Thumbs up for WR Ladd McConkey. The rookie wideout was fantasy’s WR10 in the last three weeks, reeling in 19-of-24 targets for 276 yards and a score. Houston allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to enemy receivers, making McConkey a top-10 play in our Week 19 RDA* projections. Quentin Johnston offers some boom potential against a secondary that has been decimated by injuries and is vulnerable to big plays. Josh Palmer is OUT, opening up more snaps for D.J. Chark. At tight end, the Chargers will use Wil Dissly and Stone Smartt. However, Dissly out-snapped Smartt 43-14 last week. Texans Offense While the Chargers took vast strides in 2024, the Houston Texans regressed. Facing a first-place schedule will do that, but DeMeco Ryan’s squad simply wasn’t as good on offense. After ranking seventh in passing in 2023, Houston dipped to 21st. There is no denying that C.J. Stroud‘s play dropped off. His metrics and efficiency declined across the board. Meanwhile, he struggled to make the same throws he made as a rookie and he plummeted to 34th in pressured completion rate (53.1%). The Chargers can be challenged through the air. However, Stroud has only thrown 2-plus TDs in a game three times since Week 7. RB Joe Mixon has also cooled off. Mixon hasn’t scored more than 10.6 PPR points in any of his last four games. Meanwhile, the Chargers allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position in 2024, including a league-low four rushing scores. Although the volume should be there, this is not a great week to pay up for Mixon’s salary in DFS. Houston’s offense has also been plagued by injuries. Nico Collins is the last man standing at wideout and will undoubtedly be the focal point in this game. Collins hasn’t topped 100 yards since Week 13 but has scored three touchdowns. Our RDA* projections have Collins in for 5.4 grabs, 73 yards, and a 50/50 shot at another score. After Collins, Houston will trot out the uninspiring trio of Robert Woods, John Metchie, and Xavier Hutchinson. However, none of these players are anything more than DFS dart throws in a poor matchup. At tight end, Dalton Schultz is the best bet to see the second-most targets. However, the Chargers allowed a league-low two scores to opposing TEs this season, which severely caps his upside. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) at Baltimore Ravens (12-5) Time: 8:00 Eastern Line: Baltimore -10 Total: 43.5 Money Line: Pittsburgh +400, Baltimore -550 Steelers Offense The Steelers are 4-1 against the spread in their last five matchups with Baltimore. Additionally, the UNDER has hit in 8-of-11 in this AFC North rivalry. However, that paints an ugly picture for Pittsburgh’s offense- a unit that scored all of two touchdowns against Baltimore this season. QB Russell Wilson averaged 211 passing yards, one TD, and one INT in two games versus Baltimore. That’s precisely where our Week 19 RDA* projections have Wilson, making him an unappealing fantasy option. While the Ravens have struggled against the pass, Baltimore’s league-best offense and excellent run defense make the Ravens a poor matchup for running backs. Pittsburgh will use both of their backs, with Najee Harris leading the way. In those two prior matchups, Harris accumulated an innocuous 105 rushing yards with four receptions. Jaylen Warren was better in those games and offers more appeal as a double-digit underdog. Warren reeled in all nine of his targets against the Ravens, racking up 71 receiving yards and averaging over four yards per carry. Paying up for George Pickens is a hard pill to swallow after last week’s embarrassment. However, this is a good rebound spot for Pickens, who caught 8-of-12 targets for 89 yards back in Week 11 against the Ravens. Pickens has topped 75 yards in three of his five career matchups versus Baltimore, who also allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receiver this season. As double-digit dogs, Pickens will see a favorable game script. Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson are the next best bets but offer low floors. However, TE Pat Freiermuth gets a positive matchup. Baltimore surrendered 12.9

Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend

Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend  The regular season is over, so the reported injuries have cooled significantly. However, with so much on the line playing Playoff Fantasy Football, monitoring injuries is as important as ever. Our Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend will keep you updated on the latest from around the NFL. Also, don’t forget to check out weekly rankings before you finalize this week’s lineups. Also, bookmarking our NFL Injury Report is a great way to stay updated on the latest injuries. 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! Jalen Hurts (QB) Philadelphia Eagles – Hurts was limited on Wednesday but is expected to fully clear the NFL’s concussion protocol on Thursday. That would put him in line to start. We will update Discord when news breaks. Jordan Love (QB) Green Bay Packers – Love exited Week 18 with an elbow injury and has been limited in practice. That sounds concerning but there isn’t much concern that Love will miss this game or be limited. We’ll keep an eye on it. Zay Flowers (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Dealing with a knee injury, Flowers has not practiced and is considered unlikely to play by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. However, Todd Monken said the team is “hopeful” that Flowers can suit up. However, with the Ravens being 10-point home favorites, we don’t think Flowers plays. UPDATE: Flowers has been ruled OUT.   Ravens OC Todd Monken said he’s “hopeful” that injured WR Zay Flowers (knee) can still play Saturday but believes the team has the players who can step up if he cannot play pic.twitter.com/wRsIQ4Oz7P — Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) January 8, 2025 A.J. Brown (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Brown was limited Wednesday with a knee/rest designation. However, he’s expected to be a full-go for Sunday. J.K. Dobbins (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – An ankle injury kept Dobbins limited on Wednesday. However, he has not had a setback and is expected to be fine against the Texans. Jalen McMillian (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Full participant. Cade Otton (TE) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Otton missed the final two regular-season games with a knee injury but has been a limited practice participant all week. That puts him in a position to return to the lineup. Dallas Goedert (TE) Philadelphia Eagles – Goedert was a full participant and should be good to go. Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Missed practice Wednesday due to illness. Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – Cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full at Wednesday’s practice. Josh Palmer (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Palmer missed LA’s regular-season finale with a heel injury and has yet to practice this week. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Palmer will have much if any, role against the Texans. UPDATE: Palmer is OUT. Sterling Shepard (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The veteran is dealing with foot and knee injuries and was limited. However, there is no concern that he will miss Sunday’s tilt. Malik Willis (QB) Green Bay Packers – Limited in practice with a thumb injury, but Willis should be fine to sit behind Jordan Love in Philadelphia.   FullTime Fantasy’s Playoff Fantasy Football Contests Play 1 or play all 3!

However, two of those upsets in an unpredictable Week 18 dashed the hopes of 10 contestants. Eight entrants selected the Falcons (8-point home favorites) to beat the 4-12 Panthers.   Historic performance by 9️⃣@awscloud | #KeepPounding pic.twitter.com/7psY6whPhC — Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) January 6, 2025   However, Bryce Young enjoyed a career game, throwing for three touchdowns and rushing two scores, en route to leading Carolina to a 44-38 overtime win. In Week 18, underdogs posted a slim 8-7-1 Against The Spread (ATS) mark advantage. Among those ATS cashes was a SU upset victory that “grated” the aspirations of any life-changing win. Two other entries felt supremely confident selecting an 11-win Packers squad (10.5-point home favorites) would sail past the lowly 4-12 Bears.   Grate win 🧀 pic.twitter.com/haqwBAAOmA — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) January 5, 2025   However, Chicago pulled off the shocking upset, beating Green Bay 24-22.

Week 18 NFL Incentives to Target

Week 18 Incentives to Target  Welcome to 2025! While the 2024 season has concluded, there is still a week of NFL action to enjoy. That opens the door for DFS enthusiasts to put their full attention on a wide-open slate. However, some teams have little to play for and will rest starters. Conversely, some players have Week 18 incentives to target. This is a recap of the teams that have already clinched and have little at stake this week. Therefore, fantasy football fans should avoid these players. Plenty of players are set to hit bonuses or milestones that make them enviable targets. Teams to Avoid Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs have already secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Andy Reid announced that Carson Wentz will start and presumably, the rest of the team’s starters will rest. Buffalo Bills– Locked into the AFC’s No. 2 seed. Expect Josh Allen to play the opening drive but that’s about it. The same should apply to the team’s key offensive starters. Philadelphia Eagles – Philadelphia is locked into the NFC’s No. 2 seed and will sit their starters. Surprisingly, this includes RB Saquon Barkley, who needed just 101 yards to break the all-time rushing record. Houston Texans – DeMeco Ryans plans to open the game with his starters and “see how the game goes.” The AFC South champs are limping into the playoffs and would like to avenge an earlier loss to the lowly Texans. However, it makes little sense to risk C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, or Joe Mixon in a largely meaningless game. Los Angeles Rams – Although the Rams could move into the No. 3 spot with a win and Tampa loss, Sean McVay has already indicated that he will rest his starters. Plenty at Stake Baltimore Ravens – A win versus the Browns clinches the AFC North title and the No. 3 seed. Detroit Lions – The top 2 teams in the NFC will square off to determine who will secure the conference’s No. 1 seed. This Lions vs. Vikings game has a season-high total of 56 points. The loser tumbles down to the No. 5 seeds. Sunday night is a huge game. Minnesota Vikings – A little extra motivation for the Vikings, who are looking to pay back the Lions for handing them one of their two losses on the season. Detroit is a slim 2.5-point home favorite in a game that should be an instant classic. The winner secures home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Denver Broncos – Denver is in the playoffs with a win. With Kansas City resting starters, the Broncos are 10.5-point home favorites. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Bucs are also in a “win and in” situation at home against the Saints. Tampa is currently a 13-point favorite and clearly in the driver’s seat. A victory secures Tampa another NFC South crown and the No. 3 seed. Green Bay Packers – Green Bay has already clinched a playoff spot. The Packers enter Week 18 as the No. 7 seed. However, they could move up to No. 6 with a home win against the Bears and a Dallas victory over Washington. Additionally, Matt LaFleur said he plans to play his starters in their normal roles. Washington Commanders – Dan Quinn also told the media his starters will play in Week 18 as the Commanders try to secure the No. 6 seed. Whoever wins that spot avoids an opening-round trip to Philadelphia, so there is plenty of motivation for Washington to dispatch the hated Cowboys. To Be Determined Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers play Saturday night and will already know the outcome of the Baltimore vs. Cleveland game. If the Ravens (17.5-point home favorites) win, Pittsburgh is locked into the No. 5 seed and will travel to Houston. If the Browns pull the upset, the Steelers will play all-out for the No. 3 seed. Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins need a lot of help to make the playoffs. Most importantly, they need the Broncos (10.5-point favorites) to lose. Miami is also dealing with a lot of injuries, so they’ll be playing to win but monitoring the game in Denver. Fantasy managers can target De’Von Achane, Tyreek Hill, and Jonnu Smith and hope for a fast start. Atlanta Falcons – Week 18 is a must-win for the Falcons to have any hope of winning the NFC South. However, Atlanta also needs Tampa Bay to lose, so they will be going all-out while keeping an eye on the scoreboard. With the Bucs big home favorites, the odds are against the Falcons sneaking into the postseason field. Regardless, they’ll likely play their starters the full game. Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers travel to Las Vegas on Sunday and will already know if they have anything at stake thanks the the Steelers vs. Bengals game on Saturday. If Pittsburgh wins, the Chargers are locked into the No. 6 seed. However, if Cincinnati wins, LA could move up to fifth. Jim Harbaugh said he plans to win but “will do what’s best for the team.” Player Incentives  Quarterbacks Geno Smith – Needs 186 passing yards to earn a $2 million bonus. Also earns an additional $2 million if Seattle hits 10 wins. Finally, Smith earns another $2 million if he finishes at or above his current 70.2% completion rate. Baker Mayfield – Mayfield will earn a half-million if he finishes the season in the top 10 in passer rating, touchdowns, yards, completion rate, or yards-per-attempt. He is checking all of those boxes entering this game. ‘Pay dat men his money’. Aaron Rodgers – In what could be his final NFL game, Rodgers needs 377 passing yards to top 4,000 for the season. His highest figure all year was 339 in Week 14. C.J. Stroud – Stroud is just ahead of Rodgers and would need 323 passing yards to top 4K. However, with the Texans locked into the No. 4 seed, that is highly unlikely. Kyler Murray – Murray would need
