As a quick overview, these 2025 NFL Playoffs Fantasy Football rankings are driven by both individual talent, and more importantly, potential games played. In most formats, you’ll score points for as many games as your players play.
Strategy Sidenote 1: In Underdog Bestball, points are NOT cumulative, as high-scorers will advance through Four Rounds. Thus, you need a balance of longevity and single-week explosiveness. In this format, Chiefs and Lions become tricky because of their bye weeks, and you must stack some late-round guys with huge game upside (i.e. Mike Evans, Jayden Daniels, Puka Nacua, Nico Collins) to give yourself a shot at advancing to Round 2.
Strategy Sidenote 2: Once drafting, these rankings should be very fluid, and adjust immediately when you lock up your Round 1 & 2 “anchors.” You must have a strong awareness of playoff brackets, avoiding current or soon-to-be opponents while stacking up the best players on 2-3 total teams.
If I draft Derrick Henry in Round 1, for example, then I should immediately cross off the Steelers— their Round 1 opponent. I’d also be hesitant to draft many Bills, their likely Divisional Round Opponents (2 seed vs. 3 seed). Meanwhile, I’d elevate other Ravens like Mark Andrews, Rashod Bateman, and Zay Flowers in hopes of the Ravens running all the way to the Super Bowl.
Most often, you should load up on one AFC and one NFC team, ideally the teams you predict to make the Super Bowl (although draft flow won’t always allow you your top choices). Another viable strategy is loading up on players from 3-4 teams who you expect to meet in a Conference Championship (i.e. 4 Bills, 3 Lions, 3 Eagles).
Since I expect a Bills vs. Lions Super Bowl, you’ll see players from those teams ranked high here. The possibility of FOUR total games for Josh Allen and the Bills, versus just 3 for the Lions, also factors in. (I also sneaky love the Chargers to go on a lengthy run, with the upside to even upset the Chiefs and hit the conference championship!)
Here is my 2025 NFL Playoff Bracket to showcase my predictions that influence these rankings:
Note: 1 These rankings assume a Best Ball format, and elevate cornerstone “QBs” in the rankings.
Note 2: Many formats, including Underdog, forego TE and create a WR/TE combo position. The Overall rankings reflect this and do not account for TE scarcity where Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and Sam LaPorta would be significantly upgraded. On DraftKings Best Ball, a TE is required)
