NFL Playoff League Rankings for Fantasy Football: Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, Mike Evans, Kyren Williams, Joe Mixon, Puka Nacua, Terry McLaurin

Mike Evans - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

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

While the traditional fantasy football season is over, the start of the NFL playoffs brings various types of fantasy football contests geared toward the playoffs. Fantasy football is not over yet, so let's get to the action! Below are our 2025 fantasy football playoff league rankings to help you make the best decisions for your playoff league rosters. You'll see where key playoff options such as Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, Puka Nacua, Travis Kelce, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, and Joe Mixon stand, among others.

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 choose Jahmyr Gibbs as one of your RBs, you cannot use Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jared Goff, or Sam LaPorta. The goal is to choose the best combination of players that 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 the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injury situations to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Editor's Note: Stay on top of your draft prep with RotoBaller’s fantasy football rankings, featuring expert analysis, ADPs, and draft insights for both PPR and non-PPR leagues.

 

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.

Playoff League Fantasy Football Rankings

Rankings are updated until kick-off. Be sure to also check out our updated fantasy football rankings for Wild Card Weekend.

Note that quarterbacks, defenses and kickers are all grouped separately towards the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on their own. This helps to compare running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for FLEX spots (without QB, DEF, K mixed in).
