The Las Vegas Raiders have hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach on Friday. Unsurprisingly, quarterback Russell Wilson is a name to watch with the Raiders likely seeking a new QB this offseason. There is an obvious connection between Wilson and Carroll during their days in Seattle together. Wilson is set to be a free agent after throwing for nearly 2,500 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders aren't exactly as skilled of a roster as the Steelers, but Wilson could serve as a solid bridge option for Las Vegas. It remains to be seen if the two sides will reunite this offseason.



Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle), who returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, said he is playing this Sunday in the NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders. "I feel great," Goedert added. The 30-year-old will most likely be removed from Friday's final injury, clearing the way for him to suit up as the Eagles look to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. Despite his ankle injury, Goedert is as good as any TE play for DFS fantasy lineups this weekend in a game in which the Eagles could be forced to throw more than they have been this postseason. In two playoff games this year, Goedert has eight receptions on 10 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. Against Washington in Week 11, he caught all five of his targets for 61 yards.



Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hurts injured his left knee in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but didn't miss any practice time this week. He will, however, wear a brace on his left knee, and Hurts' mobility could be limited, which will make fantasy managers setting DFS lineups a little more reluctant to use him as their QB for Championship weekend. The 26-year-old has gone 28-for-41 for 259 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games, adding 13 carries for 106 yards and a score on the ground. Hurts led the NFL with 14 rushing TDs during the regular season, but his knee injury will make him a more volatile fantasy play since the Eagles' passing game has been subpar down the stretch.



Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off a strong showing in the divisional round and carries RB2 upside facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game. Last weekend, facing a tough Detroit rushing defense, Robinson ran for 77 yards and two scores on 15 attempts. This was a nice showing for Robinson, as he averaged an underwhelming 35.0 rushing yards per game over his previous five contests. However, during his first 10 games of the season, the Alabama product found the back of the end zone eight times and averaged a strong 64 rushing yards per game. Despite another tough matchup, as the Eagles have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs, Robinson carries high-floor RB2 value this weekend.



Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a high-end QB1 when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Daniels has led the Commanders to two thrilling upset victories during the playoffs. During this two-game stretch, Daniels has averaged 26.6 PPR points per game. He averaged 283.5 passing and 43.5 rushing per game with four total scores. During the final five weeks of the regular season (excluding Week 18), Daniels averaged a stellar 34.0 PPR points per game. The last time he faced this Philadelphia defense, he threw five passing scores with 258 passing and 81 rushing yards. As a result, DFS players should view Daniels as an elite option as he looks to continue Washington's Cinderella run.
