Fantasy football playoff draft player rankings

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. This update from last week’s release recalculates placement based on the outcomes of Wild Card Weekend 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 to 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.
