Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was non-committal on both quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for next season and talked about seeing who is available at the position on the outside. Both Wilson and Fields will become free agents in March, and the Steelers want to see what else is out there before committing to them for the 2025 campaign. Wilson said he'd like to return to the Steel City, but also acknowledged it's not up to him. The 36-year-old Wilson missed most of training camp and the first six games of the season with a calf injury but eventually returned and won six of his first seven starts before losing the final five games. The Steelers averaged 28 points and 372 yards of offense in his first seven starts but dropped to 14 points and 263 yards in five straight losses to close the year. Wilson said earlier this season that he wanted to play five to seven more years.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson is a healthy inactive for Monday night's wild-card showdown in Arizona against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson will be the odd-man out for the Rams offense on Monday night after playing a season-high 49 offensive snaps in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale with both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp resting. The 26-year-old pass-catcher will now hope the Rams can beat the Vikings to advance to the Divisional Round next weekend in Philadelphia versus the Eagles. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2020 out of Minnesota caught 26 of his 41 targets for 291 yards and only one touchdown (in Week 18) in 15 games (two starts) in his second season with LA and wasn't on the fantasy radar in 12-team formats.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to pull out all the stops to try and beat the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card showdown on Saturday night, which includes using backup quarterback Justin Fields in the offense. Since Russell Wilson took over for the Steelers under center in Week 7, Fields has attempted just one pass while rushing seven times for 58 yards in four games, so it's hard to imagine him having a major role all of a sudden in the postseason. However, it's more reason to fade Wilson in DFS lineups against a Ravens defense that has played its best football at the end of the season. If anything, the Steelers could sprinkle Fields in a bit more on some run-pass option plays to try and keep Baltimore's defense guessing, but it most likely won't be enough to give Fields any kind of fantasy appeal.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson had an expanded role on Sunday with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp resting, and he scored his first touchdown of the season while catching four of his seven targets for a total of 35 yards. Johnson's touchdown came at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Seahawks rallied for a 30-25 victory over their division rival. Despite the loss, the Rams claim the NFC West crown and will host the Vikings in the playoffs next week. Johnson will return to a greatly reduced role with Nacua and Kupp back, although his 26 catches for 291 yards and a touchdown this season have shown he can still produce in the NFL and represent a nice bounce-back season for the former Golden Gopher.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard caught all three of his targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Lazard brought in a 13-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter, giving him six in what was a bounceback season for him after he caught just one score last season. Lazard is under contract for two more seasons after he signed a four-year, $44 million contract before the 2023 season.
