San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: In his age-32 season, Kittle has managed a handful of injuries this year. Practicing in full and being removed from the injury report should give fantasy managers full confidence in starting him this week. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey finished the season as the top-scoring running back and enters this game with no restrictions. He's a great option in all fantasy formats, even up against a stout Eagles' defense. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Given the nature of Pearsall's injuries this season, it's really difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups, even if he is active. If he plays, he'll likely take a backseat to Jauan Jennings, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey in the receiving game. |
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jonnu Smith (glute), DT Isaiahh Loudermilk (ankle) and DE Cameron Heyward (non-injury) were limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers has played through this wrist injury on his non-throwing hand for the last couple of months. There's no reason to believe it will limit his play. He doesn't have much of a ceiling in this offense, but he can keep the weapons afloat. |
Aaron Rodgers player page
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9.
| Footballguys view: Jaylen Warren has started ceding some high-value touches to Kenneth Gainwell over the last month, but he's still got touchdown upside. Expect him to maintain the bulk of the work, but don't be surprised to see him pulled for Gainwell on obvious passing downs. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, but is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like there's no reason for concern here as Henderson isn't on the final injury report. He's in a split backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson, but his big-play upside and pass-catching abilities make him a viable fantasy option, even with a limited load. |
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Henry has emerged as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets, especially near the end zone. In a smaller slate of playoff games than a normal regular-season week, he's one of the top fantasy tight ends. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: A mid-week addition to the injury report is never a good thing, and Boutte hasn't logged a full practice since being added to Thursday's report. If he's active, there's a chance that he's limited. He's a risky start this weekend against the Chargers. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and S Kendall Williamson (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and have been ruled out for the Wild Card playoff game. LB Bud Dupree (hamstring), RB Omarion Hampton (ankle), CB Elijah Molden (hamstring) and LB Del'Shawn Phillips (hamstring) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Herbert has toughed it out since requiring surgery on his non-throwing hand several weeks ago. His splits without Joe Alt haven't been great this year, but he's still got a ceiling that makes him a viable fantasy option. |
Justin Herbert player page
Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been a steady chain mover for Justin Herbert this year, but the passing targets are spread thinly across the team. Likely third on his team in targets, he falls into the touchdown-or-bust range this weekend against the Patriots. |
Keenan Allen player page
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: After back-to-back DNPs to start the week, it's promising that Hampton was able to return to practice. Given his injury, don't be surprised to see him cede work to Kimani Vidal, even if he is active. Hampton has a bright future ahead of him, but his short-term outlook as he navigates this injury is hard to get excited about. |

Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: After a full practice, Goedert should play on Sunday without any restrictions. His fantasy value has been heavily skewed by touchdowns this year, but his ability to consistently find the end zone makes him an appealing option against the 49ers. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Jan. 9, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid was limited every day this week, making his outlook for Sunday a bit murky. When healthy, Kincaid has proven to be a dominant wide receiver. When nursing an injury, though, he often comes up short. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Allen will have a tough matchup against the Jaguars, but he's arguably the most valuable quarterback to start in Wild Card Weekend. He's been a bit limited with this foot injury over the last couple of weeks, but his ceiling is undeniable. |
