Our updated 2025 Divisional Round NFL Playoff League fantasy football running back rankings. Set winning lineups with our fantasy football running back rankings geared towards NFL postseason contests.
It's time for another great week of NFL action, and there are still ways to compete in DFS or fantasy football! Our 2025 Divisional Round NFL playoff league running back rankings are here to help you with any contest you are taking part in. Below, you'll see where key running backs such as Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, James Cook, and Kareem Hunt rank for the rest of the NFL playoffs.
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 Kareem Hunt as one of your RBs, you can't use Patrick Mahomes, Xavier Worthy, or Travis Kelce. 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 find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always vital injury situations to keep track of, so check back until kickoff. Good luck, RotoBallers!
