Fantasy football wild-card playoff stock watch: Russell Wilson, Sam Darnold cold; Justin Herbert hot

Sporting News.com's Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk take a look at the most intriguing fantasy football storylines for the 12 teams playing during NFL wild-card playoff weekend, examining the matchups but also looking ahead to the 2025 season. While Russell Wilson and Sam Darnold haven't made the best cases to return at QB for the Steelers and Vikings, Justin Herbert is showing that he's headed to big things with the Chargers, giving them a big QB edge over C.J. Stroud in Houston. At running back, Vinnie and Michelle remain down on Joe Mixon and have real concerns for Najee Harris and Brian Robinson. Finally will rookies such as Keon Coleman and Jalen McMillan rise in the playoffs at wide receivers while vets Amari Cooper and Cooper Kupp keep fading away?
