Gregg Rosenthal has your primer for every position in playoff fantasy leagues.

 Broncos Defense-TM-BroncosJan. 5 - 6:52 pm et
The Broncos will interview Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier for their head-coaching vacancy on Thursday.
He will also be in Detroit on Friday. Frazier is also thought to be on St. Louis and the Jets' radars, but they haven't scheduled interviews with him yet.

 Ben Roethlisberger-QB-SteelersJan. 5 - 6:38 pm et
Ben Roethlisberger revealed Monday that both of his arms went numb when he was concussed in Week 17.
Roethlisberger, who practiced as expected, clearly did not suffer a "mild" concussion as the Steelers have claimed. He will start against San Diego.

 Jets Offense-TM-JetsJan. 5 - 6:26 pm et
The Jets are reportedly scheduled to interview Cardinals assistant Russ Grimm for their head-coaching vacancy on Thursday.
Grimm was a finalist for the Steelers' job that went to Mike Tomlin in 2006, but surprisingly drew little interest last offseason. He is considered one of the Jets' top targets along with Giants DC Steve Spagnuolo and Ravens DC Rex Ryan, although Grimm is most likely third in that pecking order.

 Fortyniners Offense-TM-49ersJan. 5 - 5:53 pm et
49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco hears that Scott Linehan is "definitely" on the team's list of offensive coordinator candidates.
The Niners haven't made who they're targeting to replace Mike Martz public, but Linehan looks like the early frontrunner. Other than light speculation about Raiders OC Greg Knapp, no other names have been discussed to this point. Ravens QBs coach Hue Jackson could emerge in this conversation.

 Chargers Defense-TM-ChargersJan. 5 - 5:44 pm et
Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera says he will not entertain any head-coaching interview offers until his team's season is over.
Rivera has helped his stock with aggressive playcalling to close out the regular season and by holding the Colts' offense to 17 points in the Wild Card round. We're guessing he'll still be back as San Diego's coordinator in 2009.

 Javon Ringer-RB-PlayerJan. 5 - 5:37 pm et
The Bengals will coach the North Squad in the 2009 Senior Bowl. The Jaguars will coach the South Team.
These clubs will get an up-close look at the top talent this year's senior class has to offer. The Lions, Rams, Chiefs, Seahawks, Browns, and Raiders would've had first dibs, but coaching turnover or uncertainty cost them the chance. The Bengals figure be in the market for a tailback this offseason and could look at Senior Bowl invitees Javon Ringer (Michigan State), Arian Foster (Tennessee), and James Davis (Clemson), among others.

 Jaymar Johnson-WR-VikingsJan. 5 - 5:01 pm et
Vikings signed WR Jaymar Johnson, RB Albert Young, and OG Brian Daniels to futures contracts.
Johnson is a kick return prospect. Young could make a run at Maurice Hicks' third-string tailback job this offseason after a year on the practice squad.
