NFL Playoff League FLEX Rankings for Fantasy Football: Brian Robinson, Khalil Shakir, Austin Ekeler, Keon Coleman, Rashod Bateman, Jayden Reed, more

Khalil Shakir - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Our updated 2025 NFL Playoff League fantasy football FLEX rankings. Set winning lineups with our fantasy football FLEX rankings geared towards NFL postseason contests.

If you've never played in an NFL playoff fantasy football league, there's never been a better time to jump in! Today, we will review our 2025 fantasy football playoff league FLEX rankings to help you make the best decisions for your playoff league rosters. Below, you will see where key FLEX options such as Brian Robinson Jr., Khalil Shakir, Jalen McMillan, J.K. Dobbins, Xavier Worthy, and Ladd McConkey rank for playoff leagues.

Our fantasy football playoff rankings below are geared toward playoff league formats and take into account how far we think each team will get in the NFL playoffs. In most leagues, you can choose just one player from each NFL team for your roster. For example, if you select Khalil Shakir to fill one of your flex spots, you cannot use Josh Allen or James Cook. The goal is to choose the best combination of players who will play the most games (i.e., who will make it to the Super Bowl) and score the most points.

In addition to our playoff league rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always key injury situations to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Join A Playoff League Contest

Playoff leagues are a fun way to kick off a fresh new fantasy football contest for the 2024 NFL postseason. For most of us, we've been left with a void and that weekly excitement with season-long fantasy football leagues all wrapped up. There will be DFS contests all through the Super Bowl, but playoff league formats are really fun and replicate that season-long feel.

Most of these contests will require you to choose only a single player from each NFL team and to fill out a certain amount of roster spots at each position. There are many different contests out there, but our friends at FFPC of course hold their awesome Playoff Challenge tournaments -- including one with a $500K grand prize to the first-place winner.
