Welcome to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs that kicks off this weekend. We are here as always with our team's updated fantasy football running back rankings for the Divisional Round. Many of you out there are setting DFS lineups for this weekend, or are drafting rosters for new playoff leagues that are starting up for the Divisional Round. Our fantasy football rankings will help you make the right choices.
You may have missed joining a playoff league last week, or just looking for some more action, so you can always jump into a fresh fantasy football league that kicks off with this weekend's games. Most of these playoff leagues require that you choose a single player from each NFL team, and to fill out a certain amount of rosters spots at each position. There are many different contests out there, but our friends at FFPC of course hold the biggest and best Divisional Round Playoff Challenge tournament with a $100K grand prize to the first place winner.
In addition to our staff RB rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for running backs this week. This will be key for setting your DFS and playoff league lineups. There are many key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff. Good luck RotoBallers!
