The Chargers have “moved on Philip Rivers,” per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. He is set to become a free agent in March. (Source: Jay Glazer of Fox Sports)

Fantasy Impact: Rivers is coming off a (5-11) record as a starter last season, where his 23 touchdowns thrown were the fewest since 2007. He also threw 20 interceptions for the third time in his career. Rivers recently moved his family from California to Florida, hinting he might sign with an East Coast team. The Chargers have Tyrod Taylor signed for 2020, and could be looking at other options to further bolster their quarterback situation. Rivers will become a free agent in March, and will look to latch onto another team.

Fantasy Impact: Fuller has truly been a difference maker for the Texans when he is present on the field. During this season alone, Houston was 8-3 when Fuller was healthy and 2-3 when he missed time. He caught 49 passes for 670 yards and three touchdowns this season. He will be entering his fifth year in 2020 and hopes that he can make it through a season without missing time due to injuries.

Drew Brees informed the NFL Network's Jane Slater that if he returns for his 20th season it would be as member of the New Orleans Saints. He did mention that given his age (41) retirement can no longer be ruled out. (Source: Rotowire)

Fantasy Impact: Drew Brees had another strong campaign in 2019, completing 74.3% of his passes for 2,979 yards with 27 touchdowns with only 4 interceptions. He finished the fantasy season as the QB22 after missing five games in the middle of the season with a hand injury. In the 11 games he did play he averaged 20.8 fantasy points; which was the eight highest average among quarterbacks. It is not unreasonable to consider Brees a low end QB1, high end QB2 heading into the 2020 season. His likely return to the Saints is a positive for the all of the team's offensive weapons, most notably Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara.

When asked about Graham's future, general manager Brian Gutekunst stated it's "understanding" he wants to play next season. What he failed to mention was where exactly. (Source: ProFootballTalk)

Fantasy Impact: Graham still has another year on his current contract and is scheduled to make $11.67 million in 2020. Should the Packers decide to release him, they would be saving $8 million of cap space. He had 38 receptions for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 2019 with Green Bay. The soon-to-be 34-year old tight end has certainly seen better days and has lost a significant step from where he once was back in New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce missed practice on Thursday but that was clearly just a maintenance day for the superstar tight end. Kelce will be all systems go for the Chiefs' Super Bowl matchup versus the 49ers next Sunday evening.

Impending free agent Amari Cooper said Thursday he wants to play for the Cowboys "for a long time". (Source: Jane Slater on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: However, Cooper's agent has yet to open contract negotiations with Dallas, who also need to re-sign Dak Prescott this spring. Cooper was once again stellar in 2019, posting career-highs with 1,189 yards and eight TDs.

Fantasy Impact: Coleman didn't actually practice but it's encouraging that he got some activity in. He suffered a dislocated shoulder in the NFC Championship game but appears to have a shot at playing in next weekend's Super Bowl. Even if Coleman suits up, however, one figures Raheem Mostert will still receive the bulk of the carries.

Dan Graziano of ESPN reports Eli Manning will announce his retirement Friday. (Source: Dan Graziano on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Manning is set to hold a press conference on Friday. The two-time Super Bowl champ appeared in just four games last season as Daniel Jones claimed the Giants’ starting quarterback job. Manning, the first overall pick in the 2004 draft, finishes his career with 366 touchdown passes and two Super Bowl MVP awards.

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones says signing Dak Prescott to a long-term deal is the team's "top priority" this off-season. (Source: Michael Gehlken on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Prescott and the Cowboys were in negotiations entering the 2019 regular season but were never able to get a deal done. The 26-year-old quarterback should command $30 million annually. Jones added that signing Amari Cooper to an extension is the team's number two priority.

Julian Edelman underwent a shoulder procedure last week that is expected to involve "not a length rehab". (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Edelman was clearly banged up towards the end of the season but he is expected to be ready for New England's normal off-season program. However, it remains to be seen who he will be catching passes from in 2020.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor says re-signing A.J. Green is a "priority" for the Bengals. (Source: RosterWatch on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The second-year coach added there will have to be contract negotiations this spring. Green, 32, has appeared in just nine game the past two seasons due to toe and ankle injuries. It is also possible that the Bengals could use the franchise tag on him for 2020.

Daniel Sorensen recorded six solo tackles, two assisted tackles, one TFL, and one pass break up in a 35-24 win over the Titans in the AFC Championship game.

Fantasy Impact: Sorenson had a game of ups and downs, lighting up Ryan Tannehill on a scramble, blowing up a screen to Derrick Henry late in the fourth quarter, and also getting beat on a touchdown on the same drive. He'll need to be on his A-game when the Chiefs take on the potent 49ers offense in the Super Bowl.

Tyrann Mathieu recorded six solo tackles, three assisted tackles, one TFL, and one pass defended, as the Chiefs beat the Titans in the AFC Championship game, 35-24.

Fantasy Impact: Mathieu's importance to the team was evident on Sunday, with the safety flying to the ball and laying out receivers. The diminutive DB may have allowed 5 receptions, but only for a measly 25 yards. Mathieu will have a pivotal role in containing George Kittle and the 49ers offense in two weeks when Kansas City plays San Francisco in a heavyweight matchup for the Lombardi Trophy.

Frank Clark notched one solo tackle, three assisted tackles, one TFL, one sack, and one QB hit, as the Chiefs advanced to the Super Bowl with a 35-24 win over the Titans this past Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Clark made some head-turning comments about Titans' star running back Derrick Henry prior to the game but backed up his words by helping KC take one step closer to the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl win. He'll need to be up to his disruptive ways against the 49ers creative offense if the Chiefs are going to secure the Lombardi Trophy.

Tanoh Kpassagnon helped lead the Chiefs to the Super Bowl with his two solo tackles, two TFLs, two sacks, two QB hits, and two passes defended in a 35-24 win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact: Kpassagnon was a difference-maker for Kansas City, having one of the best performances of his career against Tennessee. When the Titans had to ditch their run-centric offense to keep up with the Chiefs, Kpassagnon capitalized with his third career multi-sack game. He'll look to match his efforts in The Big Game against San Francisco in two weeks.

Harold Landry registered one solo tackle, one assisted tackle, and two QB hits in a 35-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.

Fantasy Impact: Landry was able to pressure Patrick Mahomes four times on Sunday but ultimately came up just short of finishing the job. Though the Titans will not be playing for the Lombardi trophy, Landry's second season was still impressive, highlighted by his nine sacks. He should be a player to look out for in the 2020 season.

Rashaan Evans was nowhere to be found in the Titan's 35-24 AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, logging just a half tackle.

Fantasy Impact: Evans' worst statistical game of the year could not have come at a worse time, as the Titans' surprising playoff run came to an end at the hands of Kansas City. He did exit briefly with a foot injury but was able to return for the rest of the game. Evans had a solid sophomore year as the second-leading tackler for Tennesee, and should only see his role expand next season.

Logan Ryan finished Sunday night's 35-24 loss to Kansas City in the AFC Championship game with six solo tackles and one TFL.

Fantasy Impact: Ryan struggled mightily against the Chiefs, though most defenders have trouble containing the blistering speed of Kansas City's weapons. On top of his lack of tackles, he was credited with giving up five catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. Regardless, Ryan had a fantastic year for the Titans and should be amongst the highest DBs selected next year for IDP leagues.

Jayon Brown recorded five solo tackles and one pass break up in a 35-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC Championship game.

Fantasy Impact: Much like the rest of the Titans' defense, Brown had no response to the potent Chiefs' offense. Despite falling short of a championship, Brown still had a successful campaign and will look to lead Tennessee back to the playoffs next year.

Kamalei Correa tallied six solo tackles, four assisted tackles, one TFL, one sack, and one QB hit, as the Titans' Super Bowl bid came to an end on Sunday with a 35-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Correa was the lone Titans defender with a respectable stat box against Kansas City, whose offense once again came back from an early deficit to torch the opposition. Despite finishing on the losing side, he had what was easily his best game of the year, recording his first career double-digit tackle performance. He will be a UFA heading into the 2020 season, so he'll have to hope that his AFC Championship game was convincing enough for a team to offer him a contract.
