Our updated 2025 NFL Playoff League fantasy football kicker rankings. Set winning lineups with our fantasy football kicker rankings geared towards NFL postseason contests.
Week 18 has come and gone, meaning the fantasy football season is over. Not so fast, though, because it's time to compete in NFL playoff fantasy football leagues! In these setups, picking the right kicker is key, so be sure not to overlook the selection. Below, you will see where kickers such as Jake Bates, Justin Tucker, Harrison Butker, Jake Elliott, Tyler Bass, Wil Lutz, and Brandon McManus rank for the 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 choose Jake Bates as one of your kickers, you cannot use Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, or Jared Goff. 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.
