NFL Playoff Cheat Sheet: Postseason Rankings

NFL Playoff Cheat Sheet: Postseason Rankings

This list is geared toward playoff leagues with standard fantasy scoring (4/6, 20/10, non PPR) and that draft only once before the playoffs and count all scoring through the Super Bowl. So it's a mix of per-game production and the number of projected games for a given team.

For PPR rankings, not much changes. You could bump Le'Veon Bell ahead of Eddie Lacy, Antonio Brown ahead of Dez Bryant and maybe Julian Edelman ahead of T.Y. Hilton, but one could make a case for those moves anyway.

For postseason rankings for the upcoming week, check out Jeff Erickson's Value Meter.
