Dynasty Fantasy Football Player News

He was going to be a free agent at the end of the season anyway, but it's telling that the receiver-needy Texans are cutting bait with him while they're still in the playoffs. After playing in Carolina, Baltimore and Houston this season, Johnson looks like a player who needs a major image overhaul. He'll likely sign somewhere this off-season, but his dynasty value is falling off a cliff.

Baker was efficient in this one, but the game will likely be remembered for a costly fumble in the second half when Mayfield and wide receiver Jalen McMillan botched a hand-off that resulted in a lost fumble and seven quick points for Washington. Regardless, Mayfield cemented himself as the long-term answer in Tampa Bay and an easy QB1 in dynasty leagues this season. He may still be undervalued.

He added 36 rushing yards to lead the team. Daniels has been nothing short of amazing as a rookie and has now added the first playoff win for the franchise in nearly 20 years to his resume. Daniels has cemented himself as a QB1 in fantasy and reality and should be a solid player to build a dynasty team around moving forward.

He added 36 yards rushing. It was a slow passing day for Hurts, but he still produced a decent stat line and, more importantly, left the game healthy. While not as dominant as he was last year, he still produced at a borderline elite-level this season and his rushing ability is going to keep him up towards the top of our QB rankings in the off-season.

If this game was a week ago, Barkley would now own the record for most yards rushing in a season. Alas, it wasn't meant to be as he was held out last week. Still, Barkley did what we simply expect at this point - dominate touches and churn out yards. While he didn't score, it was still much of the same we've seen all season. Barring an injury, Barkley looks like a prime candidate to be the overall RB1 next season and a top trade target for contenting dynasty teams.

Love had a sore right elbow and wasn't quite as bad as the box score indicates, but he wasn't good, either. This was an interesting year for Love, who wasn't quite as effective as he was in his breakout season last year. He did, however, deal with some nagging injuries, so he's likely earned some grace from dynasty managers. He'll enter next year as a QB1 but his grasp on that will be a little more slippery than it was going into this season.

Wilson performed about as he has all season - fine. This is the problem for the Steelers, who now have the same problem they did after last season as they boast a talented team that needs an elite-level quarterback. Wilson just isn't that any longer and neither is Justin Fields. Problem is they are both free agents and likely not the answer next season. The challenge for the Steelers is they're not bad enough to draft anyone of note because their draft pick isn't good enough. However, getting quarterbacks off the scrap heap has only made them more of the same and good instead of great just won't cut it in the NFL. Wilson himself should land a starting job somewhere next season, but he's no lock to return to Steel City. He's a roster worthy QB2 but not much more than that in dynasty leagues.

Henry was his usual dominant self in this one, routinely churning out yard after yard against a helpless Steelers defense. After rushing for nearly 2,000 yards this season, Henry is showing no signs of slowing down. While the workload is something for dynasty managers to be concerned about, he's also giving Father Time a run for his money. Henry will be a RB1 next season and prime trade candidate for any contending team.

After recording at least 100 rushing yards in six of his first eight games this season, he had only found the century mark one other time all year. This was a welcome sight for dynasty managers as he looked like a running back with a lot of gas left in the tank. We'll see how he does moving forward in the playoffs, but vintage Mixon is certainly a solid hold in dynasty leagues.

This one came out of nowhere as Herbert had thrown just three interceptions all season. If it wasn't for one long pass play for Ladd McConkey, it would have even been worse as well. The Chargers couldn't get anything going on the ground and Herbert was both inaccurate and unlucky in this one. In the end, this game really won't affect his dynasty value much, but it also won't be an indicator he's valued too lowly in dynasty leagues this off-season, either.
