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. |

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. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Being added to the injury report during the week of a Wild Card game is not a good sign. He's been bothered by hamstring injuries before and had to miss time because of them. His ability to take off the top can come in handy when you have a strong-armed QB like Drake Maye. Boutte is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Hampton before the Wild Card Round. It doesn't give us confidence that he'll be able to play against the Patriots on Sunday night. Circle back to see if he can get out there on Friday, even if he's limited. The Chargers will turn to Kimani Vidal if Hampton can't play. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey was just getting some rest as he usually does during the week of practice. He's good to go for Sunday's game against the Eagles. The best chance of the 49ers winning is a big day from McCaffrey. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's a seasoned veteran, so we're not going to get too concerned that he's not a full participant on Thursday. He made it through Week 18 without any setback, and the team is limiting him to get their superstar tight end as close to full strength as possible. He should be out there against the Eagles on Sunday. |

Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Jordan suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 18. He's unlikely to play on Monday night against the Steelers. That means Woody Marks and Nick Chubb will dominate the backfield touches in the Wild Card Round. |

Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren averaged 57.6 receiving yards per game through Week 9 of the 2025 season compared to 37.4 yards from Week 10 onward.
| Footballguys view: Warren's numbers did go down, but how much was the 'rookie wall' and how much was Daniel Jones going down in Week 14? He's a fantastic player who defenses had to gameplan for, so we're not worried about Warren taking off in 2026. Who is throwing him passes will be a different story. |
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: The veteran is getting limited work this week. That's fine, as he should be ready to go against the 49ers in the Wild Card Round on Sunday. |
