Taysom Hill (knee) ruled out for Sunday's clash with Buccaneers
New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's playoff showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What It Means:
As expected, Hill has been downgraded to out with a knee injury and will not play on Sunday. Hill's absence, combined with Latavius Murray being ruled out, clears the way for Alvin Kamara to see a large workload against Tampa Bay on Sunday night and should lock Drew Brees into all the Saints' redzone plays. Our models expect him to see 17.5 carries and 5.4 receptions on Sunday.
Kamara's projection against the Buccaneers includes 81.3 rushing yards, 43.0 receiving yards, 1.21 touchdowns, and 22.4 FanDuel points.

Saints' Latavius Murray (quad) inactive for Divisional Round clash with Tampa Bay
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray (quad) has been ruled out of Sunday night's clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What It Means:
Murray has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss Sunday's showdown with Tampa Bay. With Murray and Taysom Hill ruled out, Alvin Kamara is expected to handle a large workload against the Buccaneers. Our models expect him to see 17.5 carries and 5.4 receptions on Sunday.
Kamara's projection against the Buccaneers includes 81.3 rushing yards, 43.0 receiving yards, 1.21 touchdowns, and 22.4 FanDuel points.

Buccaneers' Ronald Jones (quad, finger) active for Sunday's showdown with Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones (quad, finger) is available for Sunday night's showdown with the New Orleans Saints.
What It Means:
Jones was considered a game-time decision and is now officially active. It remains to be seen exactly how healthy he is, or what his expected workload split with teammate Leonard Fournette will be. Our models expect Jones to handle 6.9 carries and 1.1 receptions against the Saints.
Jones' projection against the Saints includes 30.7 rushing yards, 7.9 receiving yards, 0.31 touchdowns, and 6.2 FanDuel points.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes (head/neck) headed to the locker room, Chad Henne now under center
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head/neck) walked to the locker room during the third quarter of Sunday's Divisional playoff clash with the Cleveland Browns.
What It Means:
Mahomes suffered a head/neck injury at the end of an attempted rush during the third quarter of Sunday's game. He tried to get to his feet following the hit but was wobbly and unable to stand. He was able to walk to the locker room but all signs point to him being unable to return this week. Chad Henne replaced Mahomes and is now under center for Kansas City.
Before exiting the game, Mahomes completed 21 of 30 attempts for 255 yards and 1 touchdown, with 3 carries for 14 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown.

Browns' David Njoku (hamstring) active Sunday
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (hamstring) is active for the team's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
What It Means:
Njoku was trending in the right direction for today's game and will now be a welcome presence as the Browns take on the defending Super Bowl champions.
Our models project Njoku for just 3.1 fantasy points in today's game, but he will play an important role as a blocker against the Chiefs' blitz-heavy pass rush.
