Published 11 months, 1 week ago
Description
Over the past 24 hours, several key developments have impacted the fantasy football landscape, particularly as teams prepare for crucial playoff games and the offseason.
## Jalen Hurts' Status for NFC Championship
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, despite injuring his left knee in the third quarter of the game against the Rams, expressed confidence that he will be ready for the NFC Championship game against the Commanders. Although he did not miss any snaps after the injury, his effectiveness, especially with his legs, remains uncertain. Hurts had significant success against Washington this season, totaling 80 rushing yards and one touchdown in two games[1][3].
## Zay Flowers and Ravens' Receiver Situation
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was inactive for the game against the Bills due to a knee injury and is uncertain for the AFC Championship if the Ravens advance. His absence highlights the importance of other key targets such as Rashod Bateman and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely[1].
## Texans' Injury Updates
For the Houston Texans, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is active for the game against the Chiefs despite being questionable with a knee issue. However, wide receiver Robert Woods, who did not practice all week due to a hip injury, is also active but his role in the game is unclear, making him a risky fantasy play[1].
## Offseason and Player Movement
In other news, several players are making moves that could impact fantasy teams in the 2025 season. Christian Watson of the Green Bay Packers is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign, while Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams plans to play in 2025 but his future with the Rams is uncertain. The Denver Broncos are not expected to re-sign running back Javonte Williams, and Lavonte David is considering retirement[3].
These updates are crucial for fantasy football owners as they navigate the final stages of the playoffs and begin planning for the upcoming season. Keeping an eye on player injuries, team changes, and offseason developments will be key to making informed decisions.
