Fantasy football player rankings for playoff contests

Fantasy football draft rankings for the remainder of the NFL postseason.

The following set of PPR rankings are geared toward anyone in a redrafting fantasy football playoff contest. The forecasted number of total remaining games to be played largely factors into each player’s rankings, so feel free to use this as a baseline rather than a be-all, end-all approach for choosing a roster if you see the postseason shaking out in a different manner.

For weekly lineup rankings and projections, make sure to check out our Start/Bench Tool each Wednesday of the postseason.

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 12

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy football rest of season rankings

Quarterbacks
Rk Never leaves lineup Bye Up/Down Notes
1 Patrick Mahomes, KCC 8 UP2 he may lack Allen’s upside, but Mahomes is playing exceptionally and offering reliable high-end production
2 Josh Allen, BUF 7
3 Jalen Hurts, PHI 7 UP4 surrounded by better talent and feels more likely to produce week to week than Jackson at this point
4 Joe Burrow, CIN 10 nice to see him deliver QB1 numbers w/ Chase on the sideline
5 Lamar Jackson, BAL 10 DN3
6 Justin Fields, CHI 14 great runner, bad passer; keep an eye on his non-throwing shoulder injury
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
7 Tua Tagovailoa, MIA 11
8 Justin Herbert, LAC 8 looked better w/ Allen and Williams (briefly) back on the field
9 Dak Prescott, DAL 9
10 Kyler Murray, ARI 13 missed last 2 gms w/ a hamstring injury; his status for Wk 12 is TBD
11 Geno Smith, SEA 11
Rk Weekly matchup plays Bye Up/Down Notes
12 Tom Brady, TB 11
13 Jimmy Garoppolo, SF 9 UP16 2 or more TD passes in 5 of his last 6 gms
14 Kirk Cousins, MIN 7 has taken 11 sacks in his last 2 gms
15 Trevor Lawrence, JAC 11
16 Aaron Rodgers, GB 14 DN14 fair to wonder if Love sees time when GB is eliminated from playoff contention
17 Derek Carr, LV 6
18 Deshaun Watson, CLE 9 UP34 set to return in Wk 13; grab him if he’s somehow still available on waivers
19 Daniel Jones, NYG 9 UP21 inconsistent week to week, but his running ability gives him a path to value
Rk Fringe plays/roster depth Bye Up/Down Notes
20 Russell Wilson, DEN 9 DN17
21 Matthew Stafford, LAR 7 returned after missing a game w/ a concussion… and left Wk 11 w/ a head injury; his status for Wk 12 is TBD
22 Kenny Pickett, PIT 9
23 Ryan Tannehill, TEN 6 played great on TNF, but that feels like an outlier
24 Marcus Mariota, ATL 14 UP25
25 Jared Goff, DET 6
26 Matt Ryan, IND 14 DN19 purely a game manager at this point
27 Andy Dalton, NO 14 UP29
28 Taylor Heinicke, WAS 14 they’ll stick w/ Heinicke as long as they continue to win games
29 Mac Jones, NE 10
30 Davis Mills, HOU 6 DN26 HOU might make a QB switch to Kyle Allen
31 Zach Wilson, NYJ 10 sounds like the team is running out of patience
32 Baker Mayfield, CAR 13
33 Jordan Love, GB 14 NR GB might want to get an idea of what they have w/ Love
34 Desmond Ridder, ATL 14
35 Carson Wentz, WAS 14 DN33 on IR w/ a finger injury; he’s eligible to return but may not get another crack at the starting job
36 Jacoby Brissett, CLE 9 DN31 he’ll start in Wk 12 and then give way to Watson
Running backs
Rk Never leaves lineup Bye Up/Down Notes
1 Austin Ekeler, LAC 8
2 Derrick Henry, TEN 6 now he’s even throwing for TDs
3 Saquon Barkley, NYG 9
4 Christian McCaffrey, SF 14 DN1 SF is (smartly) monitoring his usage; something that can’t be said for the three RBs now above him here
5 Nick Chubb, CLE 9
6 Dalvin Cook, MIN 7 literally the only MIN player that had a decent gm in Wk 11
7 Alvin Kamara, NO 14
8 Aaron Jones, GB 14 DN5 12 carries or fewer in 4 of his last 6 gms
9 Josh Jacobs, LV 6 UP11

18 Jamaal Williams, DET 6 UP19 keeps scoring TDs

21 Rhamondre Stevenson, NE 10
22 James Conner, ARI 13 DN18
23 D’Onta Foreman, CAR 13
24 Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL 14 why doesn’t ATL ever use him as a receiver?

29 Isiah Pacheco, KC 8 UP42 seeing the majority of the carries the past 2 gms
30 Elijah Mitchell, SF 9
31 Antonio Gibson, WAS 14 UP34 w/ McKissic (neck) on IR, Gibson should see more work as a passing-down back

38 Cam Akers, LAR 7 UP51 had more carries (14) in Wk 11 than Williams and Henderson combined
39 D’Andre Swift, DET 6 8 touches in Wk 11; makes you wonder if he’ll ever shoulder a full load this season
40 James Robinson, NYJ 10 he would move up the rankings if Carter (chest) misses time
41 Kenyan Drake, BAL 10
42 Kareem Hunt, CLE 9 DN39

Rk Fringe plays/roster depth Bye Up/Down Notes

57 J.K. Dobbins, BAL 10 on IR w/ a knee injury; he’s eligible to return in Wk 12
58 Justice Hill, BAL 10
59 Darrell Henderson, LAR 7 DN48 looked to be the odd man out in LAR’s backfield in Wk 11
60 Khalil Herbert, CHI 14 DN36 placed on IR w/ a hip injury; he’s eligible to return in Wk 16
61 Samaje Perine, CIN 10 NR scored 3 times; could be in line to start in Wk 12 if Mixon can’t clear protocol

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 10

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 9

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.
