Updated Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings For Divisional Round Playoff Leagues - Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, James Cook, Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

The quest to crown a Super Bowl LIX champion continues this weekend, and four Divisional Round games are set to take place. If there is football to be played, we're here to provide fantasy coverage. Our Updated 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, James Cook, and Derrick Henry 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 David Montgomery as one of your RBs, you can't use Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, or Sam LaPorta. 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!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for the 2025 playoffs:
