2024 NFL Playoff Picture: Falcons, Chargers see fortunes rise; Packers fall back

The Falcons and Chargers are surging after recent wins, while the Packers took a step back. Here's the NFL playoff picture after Week 9.

6 HOURS AGO

David Njoku - Does little with five catches Njoku secured five of seven targets for 29 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Njoku was third on the Browns in both receptions and targets, but that equated to very modest production yardage-wise on an afternoon where Jameis Winston was harassed by the Chargers defense to the tune of six sacks and there interceptions. Njoku does have at least five catches in four consecutive games, and he and Winston should benefit a more palatable matchup in a Week 11 visit to the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

Jerry Jeudy - Seven catches in loss Jeudy secured seven of 11 targets for 73 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Jeudy set the pace in receptions while sharing the lead in targets with Cedric Tillman on what was a difficult afternoon overall for Jameis Winston. Jeudy has now exceeded 70 receiving yards in back-to-back games for the first time as a member of the Browns and logged 25 targets over the last three contests, affording him a formidable fantasy floor heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

Cedric Tillman - Gets into end zone late Sunday Tillman secured six of 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact Jameis Winston struggled throughout the afternoon against a relentless Chargers defense that sacked him six times and picked him off on three occasions. However, Tillman still garnered enough of his attention to tie with Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in targets while setting the pace in receiving yards. The second-year wideout was also on the other end of Winston's only passing touchdown of the day, securing a difficult 17-yard grab late in the fourth quarter for his third score in the last two games. Tillman has clearly established himself as one of Winston's most trusted targets, leaving the 2023 third-round pick with a bright outlook for a Week 10 road matchup against the Saints.

Nick Chubb - Stymied by Chargers in loss Chubb rushed 15 times for 39 yards and brought in his only target for minus-4 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Impact The Browns tried in vain to establish the ground game via Chubb, but the Chargers' defense repeatedly proved it was up to the task. The veteran has already proven capable of handling a double-digit carry workload over his first three games back from last season's devastating knee injury, but Cleveland's offensive line has failed to open up any holes for him on a consistent basis. Chubb does draw a favorable matchup on paper in a Week 10 road trip to New Orleans.

Jameis Winston - Struggles in ugly loss Winston completed 26 of 46 passes for 235 yards yards with a touchdown and three interceptions and rushed five times for 27 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunda...

Impact Winston padded his stats some late and threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Tillman after the game was out of reach, but the overarching theme to his afternoon was constant struggles to find open targets. The Chargers' defense was relentless throughout the day, sacking Winston six times and picking him off on three occasions in their own territory, including twice in the red zone. Despite the ragged performance against a talented unit, Winston shouldn't be in any danger of losing his grip on the starting job heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Saints.

D'Onta Foreman - Inactive for Week 9 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Foreman won't suit up Sunday since Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford (hamstring) are both available for the first time this season. Pierre Strong will serve as Cleveland's No. 3 tailback.

Denzel Ward - Good to go vs. Bolts Ward no longer has a questionable injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers after clearing concussion protocols.

Impact Ward suffered the sixth concussion of his NFL career during the Browns' Week 8 win over the Ravens. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he managed to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity. Despite not logging a full practice this week, Ward has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and he will be available for Sunday's contest. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Ward has tallied 15 tackles (13 solo) and 13 pass breakups.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - Lands on IR Owusu-Koramoah (neck) has been placed on IR by the Browns.

Impact Owusu-Koramoah, who suffered a neck injury during Week 8 action, will thus be sidelined for at least four games, with his first opportunity to return to action arriving in Week 14 versus the Steelers. In eight games to date this season, Owusu-Koramoah leads the Browns with 61 tackles.

Jedrick Wills Jr. - Returning to action Week 9 Wills (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Wills didn't play Week 8 due to a knee injury, but he logged an LP/LP/FP progression in practice this week to set up his return to action Sunday. He's logged every offensive snap in three of the four games for which he's been able to suit up this season.

Joel Bitonio - Set to play Week 9 Bitonio (foot) will play Sunday versus the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact A foot issue caused Bitonio to miss the first two practice sessions of the week, but he was able to return to a limited practice Friday. That appears to be enough for the offensive guard to suit up Sunday. Bitonio has yet to miss an offensive snap through eight games this season.
