Baltimore Ravens
HC John Harbaugh announced Wednesday that Lamar Jackson will sit out this week, but he hasn't detailed what other players will join him in a game that means nothing for Baltimore with the No. 1 seed in the AFC locked up. Expect most starters and key offensive players to play sparingly, if at all.


Cleveland Browns
HC Kevin Stefanski said he believes his team earned the ability to rest players heading into the playoffs and will start QB Jeff Driskel in place of Joe Flacco. Other starters will be resting, though Stefanski didn't release those names. We'll assume players like Amari Cooper, David Njoku, Jerome Ford, and Myles Garrett will eventually join this list.


Kansas City Chiefs
HC Andy Reid confirmed that Patrick Mahomes will get the week off as the team rests starters ahead of their first-round matchup next week. Reid didn't indicate what other players would also be held out of action saying during a press conference, “And then we’ll rotate the other guys in as we go.” Don't expect to see much of Travis Kelce, Isiah Pacheco, and even Rashee Rice.


Los Angeles Rams
Sean McVay deserves a trophy for being one of the most upfront and honest coaches this week, giving us a nice list of players who won't play right off the bat. Carson Wentz will start at QB and the Rams will allow some other players, like rookie WR Puka Nacua, to play just long enough to hit incentive bonuses or set records.

Matthew Stafford
Kyren Williams
Cooper Kupp
Aaron Donald
Ernest Jones IV


Philadelphia Eagles
Despite still having a chance to win the NFC East, the Eagles appear to be operating under the assumption that the division is lost after being unable to beat the Cardinals last week. HC Nick Sirianni hasn't ruled out that Philly could rest their starters against the Giants. With the move being considered, even if the Eagles end up letting some key players suit up, we can assume Philly will waive the white flag and let the backups finish out the final game as long as Dallas is taking care of business against Washington.


San Francisco 49ers
HC Kyle Shanahan indicated that QB Brock Purdy is the only healthy player who's definitely being held out of Sunday's action. Still, do not expect to see much of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle, among other regulars. Christian McCaffrey was already ruled out with a calf injury..

C.J. Stroud: 1-1, 75 yards, 1 TD

[call_me_ishmael]

CJ Stroud is gonna be a good one. I remember last new years watching him against Georgia with my wife and just thinking that kid could really spin it. He looked really good tonight too.

[George Cumby]

I've seen a lot of the Jags this year.

I don't think Lawrence is The Guy.

Even when he's not injured, he doesn't impress.

[Joemailman]

Sam LaPorta of Lions out with knee injury. St. Brown seems to have a rib issue, but playing. Just scored a TD.

[George Cumby]

Man, that game in Foxbororough really makes me miss winter in Wisconsin.

Lions paid a high price today.

[King Friday]

Eagles still look like dogshit.

[George Cumby]

Eagles still look like dogshit.

Yeah. Their Psyche is wrecked.

[Joemailman]

A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts were both hurt today.

Jake Browning's girlfriend can get it, omg. Def worth a google. One of the hottest natural bitches that isn't a plastic that I've seen.
