Tom Brady - Could retire after postseason Brady plans to take time after Tampa Bay's postseason run concludes before deciding whether he'll return for a 23rd NFL season in 2022 or retire, Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter...

Impact Brady, 44, has previously spoken of his goal being to play through his age-45 season, but the possibility of his departure following the season is a topic that has started to gain traction within the Tampa Bay organization over the past three weeks, according to the report. Despite playing at a high level in 2021 -- he started all 17 regular-season contests and completed 67.5 percent of his throws for 7.4 yards per attempt and a 43:12 TD:INT ratio -- the seven-time Super Bowl champion wants to take a month or longer after the playoffs to assess how he feels physically and mentally while also gauging his family's desires. After a dominant win over the Eagles in the wild-card round, Brady and the Buccaneers will host the Rams in the divisional round Sunday.

Giovani Bernard - Faces added competition Bernard's teammate, Leonard Fournette (hamstring), has been activated off IR by the Buccaneers ahead of Sunday's playoff game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the team's official s...

Impact Meanwhile, Ronald Jones (ankle) remains out this week, but with Fournette set to see his first game action since Week 15, both Bernard and Ke'Shawn Vaughn -- who shared backfield work in the team's wild-card win over the Eagles last weekend -- figure to see decreased volume Sunday. Though Bernard could still potentially make his mark in a change-of-pace role, his divisional-round fantasy ceiling takes a hit with Fournette's return to the mix.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn - Added competition for carries Vaughn's teammate, Leonard Fournette (hamstring), has been activated off IR by the Buccaneers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The looming return of Fournette for his first game action since Week 15 bolsters Tampa Bay's backfield ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams, with Ronald Jones (ankle) still out. In the team's wild-card win over the Eagles last weekend, Vaughn led the way with 17 carries, adding a pair of catches, while Giovani Bernard logged 13 rushes and five catches. As long as Fournette avoids any setbacks with his hamstring issue, however, both Vaughn and Bernard figure to see decreased volume versus Los Angeles, making them speculative fantasy lineup options.

Leonard Fournette - Activated from injured reserve Fournette (hamstring) has been officially activated from IR in advance of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Rams.

Impact In a corresponding move, Tampa Bay waived Le'Veon Bell. Per Scott Smith of the team's official site, the Buccaneers didn't add Fournette to their injury report, which sets the stage for the running back to return to game action for the first time since Dec. 19. It remains to be seen how heavily Fournette will be used Sunday, but in the absence of any issues with his hamstring he should head the team's ground game versus Los Angeles, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Giovani Bernard available to handle complementary/change-of-pace touches. Meanwhile, Ronald Jones is out this weekend with an ankle injury.
