The Kansas City Chiefs expect to have running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, though backup running Le'Veon Bell (knee) isn't expected to play. Edwards-Helaire should see the highest share of touches out of this backfield, but we could see head coach Andy Reid using Darrel Williams more in this game. CEH had 161 rushing yards in the first meeting of these teams, while Williams found the end zone on one of his six carries. The Chiefs running game isn't likely to be as effective Sunday, but both players have some solid DFS upside.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) is not expected to play in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills Sunday, Jan. 24.

Fantasy Spin: Bell had been listed as questionable on the injury report after sitting out the final two days of practice during the week. Assuming he is declared inactive for this game, RBs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams will likely share playing time in the Kansas City backfield this evening.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (calf) will be a game-time decision for the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills Sunday, Jan. 24.

Fantasy Spin: Watkins had been listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in all three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis. He makes a very risky fantasy play this weekend since he would not be competing at 100 percent if he is declared active, in addition to the fact that he hasn't recorded more than 62 receiving yards in a game since the season opener.

The Detroit Lions and quarterback Matthew Stafford will reportedly part ways this offseason, with Detroit exploring trade options for the former No. 1 overall pick. The Lions will likely look to take a rookie quarterback early in April's draft, something that will likely limit the overall effectiveness of their passing attack. As for Stafford, teams like the 49ers and Colts could be interesting landing spots that would see Stafford's fantasy arrow trending up.

Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley's 23 receptions of 20-plus yards in 2020 were tied for the league lead.

Fantasy Spin: Ridley's 90 receptions, 143 targets and 1,374 yards all shattered his previous career highs, and while injuries to Julio Jones created more opportunities, credit Ridley for being able to take advantage. Barring a major overhaul of Atlanta's offense, he should be no worse than a WR2 in 2021.

Washington Football Team RB J.D. McKissic's 589 receiving yards and 80 receptions trailed only New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara among running backs in 2020.

Fantasy Spin: McKissic's 7.4 yards per reception were far from impressive, but he did finish in the top 25 in catches. Unless Washington dramatically upgrades its offensive firepower in the offseason, McKissic should have value as a PPR flex option, especially in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett was double-teamed on 26 percent of his pass rush attempts in 2020 and ranked third in the NFL in pass rush win rate.

Los Angeles DT Aaron Donald faced more double-teams when rushing the passer than any defensive tackle in the NFL in 2020 and posted pass rush wins at the highest rate of any player.

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett will be under consideration to be the starting quarterback in 2021, according to general manager Chris Ballard. 'I don't want to discount Jacoby,' Ballard said. 'We still like Jacoby Brissett and think he's a good player. Let's not take Jacoby out of the mix completely here.'

Fantasy Spin: Brissett was occasionally a fantasy option when starting 15 games in the 2019 season. He finished with 2,942 passing yards and 18 touchdowns against six interceptions while adding 228 yards and four TDs on the ground. He would be a streaming option in more appealing matchups, but he would likely lower the value of WR Michael Pittman Jr.

Carolina Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater will be evaluated as new general manager Scott Fitterer assesses the current roster and isn't guaranteed to be the starter for the 2021 season. 'I'm not going to get into hypotheticals, but what I will tell you is we will be on every deal,' Fitterer said when talking about being aggressive in transactions this offseason. 'We're going to look at a lot of people, bring a lot of people in the building, really churn the roster on the back end. Just really take a look at a lot of different people to see what's out there, what fits our team and how we can build this going forward.'

Updating a previous story, Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford is likely to be traded before the fifth day of the 2021 league year in March, when he is due a $10 million bonus.

From TheHuddle

Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford has expressed a desire for a fresh start and the team plans to begin exploring trade possibilities in the coming weeks, according to sources Saturday, Jan. 23.

Fantasy Spin: The Lions own the No. 7 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and could target a rookie there or try to climb up the board. Until that situation resolves itself, Detroit pass-catchers would be risky fantasy options in early drafts. Stafford is likely to be a low-end QB1 regardless of where he ends up.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (toe) said Friday, Jan. 22, the toe injury he suffered in the AFC Divisional Round against the Cleveland Browns is 'feeling a lot better.'

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kenny Stills has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster for the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Bills signed Stills to their practice squad after he was cut by the Houston Texans late in November, and he was initially brought on for wide receiver depth when Cole Beasley injured his knee in Week 16. The 28-year-old has not played in a game since Week 11 with Houston, but he could have a small role if rookie Gabriel Davis (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday, is unable to play. Stills' elevation from the practice squad could be a sign that Buffalo doesn't expect Davis to play. Isaiah McKenzie could also have a slightly larger role behind Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley if Davis is inactive.

Green Bay Packers DB KeiVarae Russell and DT Brian Price were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jan. 23.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers leads the league this season with 42 touchdown passes throwing from a clean pocket, per Pro Football Focus data.

Fantasy Spin: Another point underscoring the importance of pressuring Rodgers, who endured his worst game (35.4 passer rating, 160 yards, 0 TDs, 2 interceptions) of the season in the 38-10 Week 6 loss to the Bucs in Tampa. Rodgers was sacked four times in the game, his second-highest total of the season.

Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson reportedly said earlier this week that the New York Jets are his top preference among the teams he'd like to be traded to because of their recent hiring of head coach Robert Saleh, according to a report Saturday, Jan. 23, from the Miami Herald.

Fantasy Spin: The Dolphins are second on this reported list, and these are two teams who could potentially offer attractive return packages to the Texans as they own the No. 2 (Jets) and No. 3 (Dolphins) overall picks in the upcoming NFL draft. Definitely stay tuned ...
