Divisional Round Rankings (Top 100)

Fantasy football rankings for the Divisional Round, the second round of the NFL playoffs. Nick Mariano was ranked 9th overall for the year out of 120 experts.

Welcome back, RotoBallers. The NFL playoffs are heating up as we approach the second round, and we are still here churning out our weekly fantasy football advice. For those of you playing in fantasy football playoff leagues or DFS contests (on FanDuel, DraftKings, etc), use this list as your player rankings guide.

Below you will find our staff's fantasy football rankings for the Divisional Round. Three of our lead fantasy football columnists, Bill DubielPierre Camus and Nick Mariano, have analyzed the NFL matchups and game slates.

And just in case you somehow missed it, RotoBaller's esteemed Nick Mariano finished the year as the industry's 9th overall ranked expert for the entire fantasy football season. You can see the results here. Congrats Nick!
