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.

Fantasy Impact: Beckham dealt with the injury all season and finished with just 74 receptions and four touchdowns. It was extremely disappointing from a fantasy perspective. The star wideout shouldn’t have much issue getting healthy for training camp.

Adam Humphries caught 4-of-5 targets for 25 yards on Sunday in Tennessee's AFC Championship loss to Kansas City by a 35-24 score.

Fantasy Impact: Humphries was back on the field on Sunday after missing the Titan's last six games and made some big third-down catches for the team. The veteran receiver had a disappointing first season after signing a big contract and finished the regular season with 37 catches, 374 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.

Dion Lewis caught his only target for six yards on Sunday in Tennessee's AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs by a 35-24 score.

Fantasy Impact: Lewis saw his role on the Titans disappear this season with the emergence of Derrick Henry who became a workhorse back for the team. It would not be surprising if the team decides to move on from Lewis who should find another job in the league as a third-down back if that does happen.

MyCole Pruitt made a nine-yard catch in Tennessee's AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs on Sunday by a 35-24 score.

Fantasy Impact: Pruitt caught four passes in the playoffs after catching just six over 16 games in the regular season. The veteran tight end has bounced around the league since 2015 and will look to find a backup role once again in 2020.

Anthony Firkser hauled in one of two targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the team's AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs by a 35-24 score on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Firkser caught two touchdown passes in the playoffs for the Titans as he became a red zone threat for the team. The 24-year-old tight end looks to have earned a role on the team for 2020 but will not be fantasy relevant.

Emmanuel Sanders was held without a catch in the 49ers' 37-20 NFC Championship victory over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact: Sanders simply wasn't needed as the 49ers attempted just eight passes in this one. That'll likely change against the Chiefs but Sanders hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since December 8th.

Deebo Samuel caught two passes for 46 yards and rushed twice for 43 yards as the 49ers beat the Packers 37-20 to advance to the Super Bowl.

Fantasy Impact: Samuel wasn't needed much as a receiver as the 49ers attempted just eight passes in this one. The running game was simply dominant and Samuel continued to look explosive on end-arounds. The rookie playmaker should continue to get the ball in a variety of ways in Super Bowl 54.
