The fantasy football playoffs are here, making every matchup do-or-die from this point forward.

The Chicago Bears recently welcomed star cornerback Kyler Gordon back into their lineup after a month-long absence and expected him to play a key role in their divisional matchup with the Green Bay Packers in Week 14.

Despite failing to make the SEC title game, Oklahoma earned the No. 8 seed in the 2025-2026 College Football Playoffs and will face Alabama in the first round.
